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 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.

@Rennsteigripper: better try Like Gods of the Sun - as well as other suggestions may work well... if you're able to stand death metal vocals

"I'm really into Type O Negative - now whats the best to begin with My Dying Bride?" There's a pretty big gap between the bands. I'd recommend starting with 'Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light' or 'The Dreadful Hours.'

you cannot really compare both bands, but if you want something massively outstanding, go for 'songs of darkness, words of light'

Never changed their direction? Sorry, but that's why I love MDB. Too many bands in this genre just rip off the same song... MDB changes and still keeps producing great music and it rarely sounds too odd (34.788%... Complete being an exception, but it is still great).

Unholy trinity - My Dying Bride Katatonia and Anathema. I think this band is the best in death doom genre.At least they never change their direction.
