Bradford, West Yorkshire, England (1990 – present)

My Dying Bride is a 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.

    I would have to say an ode to woe is currently my favorite album at the moment. It rules, simple. One of the better live albums of any artist i have heard recently.

    @abbyscks Hey kid, don't use foul language here. This is an MDB shoutbox, not some random nu-metal band's. Show some wit and pay respect to the doom gods.

    That's the most stupidest thing I've heard, if you judge your liking of a band on popularity it's most likely a good thing you don't listen to them. My Dying Bride are actually not as popular as they used to be and compared to other big name doom acts they're not as popular. Keeping Doom underground is also the reason that My Dying Bride could never tour properly until recently.....

    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.
