Trinity
Trinity is a compilation by English doom metal band My Dying Bride, released in October 1995 on Peaceville. It gathers tracks from the band's earlier EPs onto one disc, and it is the first of four compilations they would put out. Meisterwerk 1 and 2 followed in 2000, then Anti-Diluvian Chronicles in 2005.
It arrived between The Angel and the Dark River and Like Gods of the Sun, so it makes a handy way into the band's early death-doom years if you missed the EPs first time round. American copies came with a different cover from the rest of the world. A 2004 reissue added two tracks from the band's first demo, Towards the Sinister, which is a nice extra for completists.
