'Anti-Diluvian Chronicles' is a compilation album by My Dying Bride, which features both album tracks and new remixes. It is the fourth and most recent of four My Dying Bride compilation albums, following 1995's "Trinity" and 2000's "Meisterwerk 1" and "Meisterwerk 2".
The remix tracks were made especially for this release by My Dying Bride, and rather than just remixes of the original material, additional new parts were also recorded and incorporated into the original songs. The key differences are that "My Wine In Silence" has a completely new drum track, and the harsh vocals were removed from the middle section of the song, as Aaron Stainthorpe was not pleased with them as they were originally recorded and released, and maintains he was coerced into it by his fellow band members. "The Wreckage of My Flesh" is stripped of nearly all instrumentation other than keyboards and the lead guitar parts, and "The Raven And The Rose" features a guitar solo from Hamish Glencross not present in the original, a more distorted harsh vocal, more sound effects, and has its ending removed.
The package also contains a poster and a booklet with an extensive interview with Aaron. It is contained in a clamshell digipak like most recent My Dying Bride releases.
