Sear Me
Bring Me Victory
The Prize of Beauty
The Whore, the Cook and the Mother
Like Gods of the Sun
Catherine Blake
The Crown of Sympathy
To Remain Tombless
The Cry Of Mankind
The Sexuality of Bereavement
She Is The Dark
Your River
My Body, A Funeral
The Dreadful Hours
EDIT: I guess I'll review this, after all.
Showed up about half an hour before doors to find a line two blocks down from the venue; subtly pulled out my phone and pretended to be talking to a friend in line, and took my spot at the front along with some guys who looked like they belonged at a Dream Theater show. This was MDB's first concert in Moscow, with letters from Russian fans coming in for over 20 years now, they decided to pay us a visit as part of their 25th anniversary tour. I myself have little experience with My Dying Bride's catalog; I own For Lies I Sire and another album (that has "Deeper Down" on it) but that hardly mattered, to be honest. Vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe must be one of the most passionate singers in music as a whole; I (along with the rest of the captivated audience) felt every emotion in his voice, every scar put in lyrics in MDB's brilliant songs. Despite looking a bit shabby on paper, the set was just long enough to become one of my favorite shows I've been to yet; with 14 songs (1h 40min according to the Last.fm playlist I created based on the setlist) every one of us in the audience had felt as if we had lived these pieces ourselves, a stunning display of powerful, soul-piercing music I've rarely seen, live or on record.
