Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans (1993)

This is a legendary and mandatory listen for doom metal fans. My Dying Bride is among my absolute favorite bands. MDB is a fiersome doom metal unity, but I think they have 2 secret weapons that put them over the top of many peers; the violin, and Aaron Stainthrorp. Gigantic Melancholy atmosphere, monolithic riffs, and then the frosting on the cake; tasteful violin accents, and PERFECT vocals. 

Turn Loose the Swans is a very early entry, and the 4.5 is only because while it is absolutely excellent, they get even better later on in their discogaphy. Push play and enjoy!
