Evinta is a My Dying Bride album released in 2011. It is a development of many of My Dying Bride's older musical themes and riffs, which were re-written for a variety of classical instruments, rather than the traditional metal music instruments; these riffs were combined with new vocals and music, thus creating a release characteristic of both a studio album and a compilation.

My Dying Bride press release, April 5, 2011[1]
The idea for Evinta dates back to the mid-1990s, when Martin Powell was still in the band; however, the idea was shelved when Powell left both due to the lack of a violin in the band and also due to the possibility that a release of this kind would seem exceptionally pretentious, coming from a band who had been around for merely five years. Once a violinist returned, however, and the band had gained more experience, they began to work on Evinta with an aim of releasing in October 2010, to celebrate the band's 20th anniversary. However, this was later pushed back to "until it's ready".[2]
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.[3]
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.[4]
