Release Information

Conception and Production

:''"Evinta. A project almost 15 years in the making. An idea that has sat smoldering and never really had a reason to burn alive until now. 9 albums worth of darkness recreated anew to mark 20 years of MDB. Music arranged to the soundscapes of sorrows past. Finally the 20th anniversary allows us to release this music in a form it has been desperately, woefully waiting for. Enjoy the Darkness."'' ''My Dying Bride press release, 5 April 2011''

Format

Evinta was released in three separate formats - jewel case, limited edition and deluxe edition. The jewel case and limited editions both contained disks one and two, with the limited edition coming in digipak format with a 24-page booklet and being shipped to independent retailers only, compared with the jewel case being for general retail. The deluxe edition came with a 64-page, 12-inch hardback book and the third disk. Music from the third disk, however, is intended to be released separately in due course. The book and booklet both contained pictures from My Dying Bride's history, with a brief paragraph for every major release, as well as lyrics. However, the booklet missed out certain lyrics, and the deluxe edition removed the paragraph for the album '' The Light at the End of the World''.
