Bradford, West Yorkshire, England (1990 – present)
My Dying Bride is a doom metal band that was at the forefront of the English Doom movement in the early 90s that included such bands as the former label mates Anathema and Paradise Lost. Formed in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England, they are known for their slow yet extremely heavy riffs and haunting lyrics. 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.

Fans of My Dying Bride, I really recommend you this song, from the french atmospheric doom metal band Angellore. You will probably like it... Please, give it a try! Angellore - I Am The Agony. We would love to get your opinion over it. Thanks a lot for your attention...

According to Andrew they have 8 or 9 songs in various stages of "unfinished-ness" and they're going to "concentrating fully on the new l.p. once we come back from Mexico and the 70'000 tons of Metal Shows".

moberg13, Gravetemplar makes sense, disregard the dumb comment. I didn't know that when I started listening, so it was really a nice surprise. The classical and ambient sounds in Evinta are refreshing.

Oh, and p0ltergei5t> isn't that the whole point of Evinta? as far as i know, all the songs on that album are based on their older works.

Damn, ´Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium from the voice of the wretched is beyond amazing. I wish they could do something like that again.

I'm actually considering buying Evinta. I must be out of my mind, purchasing a (triple) CD in 2012.

I like how their new album features parts of their older songs. Take Your Dark Pavilion for example, it has A Kiss To Remember in it :)
