A Line of Deathless Kings is the ninth studio album by My Dying Bride. It was released on October 9, 2006.
A limited edition of the album comes in a hard clamshell case with a double sided poster and five postcards, depicting the full-time members of the band. Session drummer and ex-Prophecy member John Bennett is not included. This is the only album on which he appears, and he did not tour with the band or take part in any photo shoots. He replaced previous drummer Shaun Steels who left the band after a repeated leg injury meant he could not drum full-time for fear of worsening his condition. This echoes how Rick Miah left the band in 1997 after falling ill with Crohn's disease.
Following the release of this album, Dan Mullins joined the band as its permanent drummer, and Lena Abé replaced the departed Adrian Jackson on bass.
The album was preceded by the EP Deeper Down on 18 September 2006. The video for "Deeper Down" is featured on the CD version of the album. It was directed by Charlie Granberg, who also directed Katatonia's "My Twin" and "Deliberation" videos.
