(1990 – present)

My Dying Bride is a Doom metal band at the forefront of the British Doom movement in the early 90s that included such bands as the former label mates Anathema and Paradise Lost. They are known for their slow yet extremely heavy riffs and haunting lyrics. My Dying Bride have, bar one experimental album (34.788%… Complete), stuck resolutely to their raison d’etre. Relentlessly slow, thick, heavy chords allied with remarkably morose lyrics make My Dying Bride a unique proposition and certainly a challenge to the listener. Since its debut, the Halifax based band has remained steadfast in an unwavering pursuit of extreme Metal despite, ironically enjoying the rewards of an international fan base despite the noncommercial nature of its output.

The initial formation numbered vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe, guitarists Andrew Craighan and Calvin Robertshaw plus drummer Rick Miah, who founded the band in 1990. The band released the ‘Towards The Sinister’ demo, noted for its complete absence of bass, recorded over two days in late November at Revolver Studios with Tim Walker manning the production desk. They followed this with the ‘God Is Alone’ 7” single, restricted to 1000 copies, on the French Listenable label, again utilising both Tim Walker and Revolver Studios in May 1991. The band signed to budding Yorkshire label Peaceville Records to release the ‘Symphonaire Infernus Et Spera Empyrum’ EP in 1992, debuting new bassist Ade Jackson in the process.

Why is the new work rubbish ( doom in general ) and the old masterpieces? They all do the same and it aint get better. Poetically the band inspires.

which albums are most Death/Doom oriented? Listening to the latest now, can't find any "death" in it.
