My dying bride towards the sinister demo 1990 full hq


Towards The Sinister is the first demo release by death/doom metal band My Dying Bride after their six-month rehearsal period in 1990. The demo was released 25 November 1990 and was produced by Tim Walker of Voltage Records. The demo contains low sound quality due to the band requesting a 'dirty-grunge sound' using old analogue sound equipment. After the release of the demo tape in 1990, the band had no problem with sales of the Listenable Records EP "God Is Alone", which attracted the attention of Peaceville Records, with whom the band has signed ever since.
