A Map of All Our Failures is the 11th studio album by English heavy metal band My Dying Bride, released on 15 October 2012 via Peaceville Records.[1] Limited editions of the album included a bonus track and a DVD featuring a 70-minute documentary, An Evening With the Bride. The album cover artwork was by Rhett Podersoo.[2]

Musical style

Vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe described the album as being similar to the band's previous effort, For Lies I Sire, but said that the music had evolved. He described the lyrics as being about religion, passion, love and loss. Bassist Lena Abé described the album as being a "new style of writing, done in an old way", and almost having a "live sound" due to the presence of feedback and "raw and rough" elements.[3] Guitarist Andrew Craighan described the album as "a controlled demolition of all your hopes".[1]
