My dying Bride brings another slab of the dismal to the table. "A Line of Deathless Kings" sticks to the band's wretched disdain for the darker side of the life while keeping things very heavy.

Like "Songs of Darkness, Worlds of Light" the album carries itself along with lamented passages lyrically and musically which leads into excellent heavy arrangements. My Dying Bride is on top of their game at this point and every album seems to be another well composed piece of misery more enjoyable in the winter season or rainy, depending on where you live. This is why MDB albums are fitting for those bleak moments in life and in environment. One has to wonder just how miserable this band can be, whatever works though seeing as how My Dying Bride still remains one of the more notable doom acts.

The band seems to do well with putting out albums every two years with consistent quality. At this point their playing seems to flow well from each album with no signs of slacking which is something that cannot be said for many bands. "A Line of Deathless Kings" continues the prosperity of My Dying Bride.

Whacked-out rockers Mr. Bungle took their name from a corny children's educational film from the '60s about bad manners that was made popular in Pee Wee Herman's 1981 cable TV special, The Pee Wee Herman Show.
