4.0 out of 5 stars
First half is bad, but the second half rules., September 3, 1998
By A Customer
Here is the tracklist: 1. Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium 2. God Is Alone 3. De Sade Soliloquay 4. The Thrash Of Naked Limbs 5. Le Cerf Malade 6. Gather Me Up Forever 7. I Am The Bloody Earth 8. The Sexuality Of Bereavement 9. The Crown Of Sympathy (Remix) Actually this recording is a compilation of their three earlier EP's, namely "Symphonaire...", "The Thrash Of Naked Limbs" and "I Am The Bloody Earth". They thought that everyone should be able to hear their music, and the EP's were sold out, so Peaceville Records republished them. In my opinion, the first half of this CD is too hard, too confusing, and most important not creating the desired dark atmosphere. However From "Le Cerf Malade" on we hear a real masterpiece by England's no.1 Doom-Gothic-Metal Band. My absolute favorite is the remix of "The Crown of Sympathy" (the original is on the album "Turn Loose The Swans"), besides the only one with their later instead of death-metal vocals. The remix is also better than the original, for the main difference is the new drum-sound, making this song express the sadness, hopelessness and depression even better. I can recommend this and all other My Dying Bride publication to anyone liking Doom-Metal or Gothic. I am looking forward for their new album "34.788%...Complete".

beautiful is the pain.. heheh.., June 27, 1999
By A Customer
So far I have this and "Angel and the Dark River"... My Dying Bride is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I like Trinity better, though, because it encompasses more than "Angel..." does. There's more raw anger here, more distant grandeur, than the timid embraces and shy outbursts in "Angel...". This is what you want if you want to rip into your soul to see what makes it cry.
