EP
The Manuscript
The Manuscript is the sixth EP from My Dying Bride, the English doom metal band, released on 13 May 2013 through Peaceville on CD and vinyl. It runs to four tracks.
Three of them were recorded during the sessions for A Map of All Our Failures, the album the band had put out the year before. That makes the EP a companion to that record, a chance to spend a little longer in the same sonic world. It sits between that album and Feel the Misery, which followed in 2015. For fans who have followed the band since As the Flower Withers, it is a compact extra chapter worth tracking down.
