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 poetic 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.

    http://freedownloads.last.fm/download/579929235/Journeys%2BUpon%2BNight%2527s%2BGloom.mp3 It's not metal, but probably many of you might like it (especialy the second half of it) because I'm really inspired by doom metal in creating such songs. and please, PLEASE give me your feedback on my user page.

    But I love these guys! I'm sure not even them take themselves so seriously. I, of course, never implied something so narrow-minded. And come on, I could not have possibly come off as such a pretentious douche. But if I did, then alright. I apologise, internet.

    @ArturoStyrsky Next you might say that people who have too many plays of Cannibal Corpse should be reported to police because they might be serial killers or necrophiliacs or just plain psychos....regardless of it being a joke or not it was cynical statement...You can dislike My Dying Bride as much as you want coz you are entitled to that but being a Psychologist well you need a degree for that...cheers !
