"The Sexuality of Bereavement" is a song by death/doom metal band My Dying Bride. The single was only available to the Peaceville Collectors Club Series members. The Collectors Club was eventually disbanded because it had too few members. After this point, the band discontinued production of EPs, up until 2006.

Contents

"The Sexuality of Bereavement" was originally recorded for the Turn Loose the Swans , but was not included in the final track listing. It was written as a sequel to "The Bitterness and the Bereavement" from As the Flower Withers .

The song appears as a bonus track on the limited edition digipak of their 1995 album The Angel and the Dark River and on its subsequent 1996 expanded reissue as well as several remastered reissues and the most recent vinyl pressing, despite being an outtake from Turn Loose.

It was released in 2003 on the reissued versions of both Turn Loose the Swans and Trinity ; it appears on all issues of the latter including the first pressing, always in replacement of "Transcending (Into the Exquisite)".

<i>Initium</i> 1984 studio album by Samhain

Initium is the 1984 debut album of Samhain, released on lead singer Glenn Danzig's independent record label, Plan 9.

Most of the final track, "Archangel", was actually recorded in March 1981, and was originally meant to either be a Misfits song featuring Dave Vanian or a track for the band the Damned. The track "Horror Biz" likewise dates to Danzig's Misfits era, as it is a new version of "Horror Business" with different musical arrangements. The album was recorded at Reel Platinum studio in Lodi, New Jersey, excluding the introduction which was recorded at Eerie Von's home on a four track cassette.

All guitar parts on the album were recorded by Andrew Craighan, following the earlier departure of Calvin Robertshaw.
