Biography
Early years (1990–1992)
My Dying Bride were formed in Bradford in the north of England in June 1990 after guitarist Andrew Craighan and drummer Rick Miah co-formed the band after they had split from Abiosis, joining vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe and guitarist Calvin Robertshaw while ending Abiosis. After six months of rehearsing, the band recorded and released their demo, Towards the Sinister, which was produced by Tim Walker of Voltage Records. Its title was taken from a line in the song "Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium". The band would soon release their first single, "God Is Alone", on a small French label called Listenable. After the single had sold out almost immediately, they were picked up by Peaceville Records, and they could release their first EP, Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrium, which also featured their latest recruit, bassist Adrian Jackson. The EP was soon followed by their first full-length album, As the Flower Withers.
Bring Me Victory is an EP by the doom metal band My Dying Bride. "Bring Me Victory" is a song from My Dying Bride's previous album, For Lies I Sire; a video was made for the song and released on this EP. "Scarborough Fair", an English traditional song, has two additional verses incorporated into it written by Aaron Stainthorpe. "Failure" is a cover of a song written by Swans. The original version had long been a highly respected song among the members of the band. "Vast Choirs" is a live version of a song originally released on My Dying Bride's first album, As The Flower Withers, and since included on several compilation releases.
This is the first release to feature Shaun Macgowan on keyboards and violins (on tracks 2 and 3), since he replaced Katie Stone's position in the band.

So Many New
by: Me & MySo many men, so little time
So many men, for Me&My
So many men, so little time
So many men, for Me&My
It's morning, I open my eyes
And everything's still the same
I turn to the guy who stayed last night
And ask him: What's your name?
This seems to happen more and more
I love those men one and all
Each new one I meet
Makes my heart beat fast
When I see them so strong and tall
Chorus:
So many men, so little time
How can I lose?
So many men, so little time
How can I choose?
20-40-60-75-95-100
They tell me I'm up to no good
I shoud just settle down
But I don't wanna stay with just one man
I want a set of "hots" around
Feels like heaven every night
Being here with someone new
A physical thrill, a beautiful smile
And wonderful muscles too
Chorus
So really who cares about lobe
Who wants their freedom taken away?
for 52 weels of every year there's a new man every day
It's too hard a choice to make up my mind
So many men can turn on my light
I don't want true love, I don't want brains
Just give me their bodies tonight
