about

Released in May 1992, As The Flower Withers was My Dying Bride's debut album.

With its dark and sinister atmospherics, poetic lyrics, and apocalyptic Doom Metal traits, the album received ecstatic reviews and immediately established MDB as a significant creative force.

The band have been a leading light of Doom Metal ever since. Influenced by acts such as Celtic Frost and Candlemass, MDB's heavy atmospheric sound has amassed a devoted worldwide following over the years and the band remain at the pinnacle of their powers and one of the most instantly recognisable metal bands.

This album changed my life. It shaped my tastes in so many ways, and not least of which by helping to set me straight on punk. I didn't even know about d-beat in my teens, and this was the first album I heard that featured it right in your fucking face. I was also in the process of leaving my hometown; deciding where to go, what to do. It helped me make the right decision. What else can be said about this thing; I always knew it was one for the long haul. I'm forever grateful to this band. Absolute Zero

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Stare Into Death And Be Still
by Ulcerate

supported by 13 fans who also own “As the Flower Withers”

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
