My Dying Bride Parts Ways With Aaron Stainthorpe
Thirty five years on from their formation, British doom metal legends My Dying Bride has parted ways with vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe. A statement from the band reads as follows:
"My Dying Bride has decided to part ways with vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe.
"Please understand that this decision does not come lightly, hence our initial and painful silence while we gathered our thoughts and carefully considered our response to the disengaged, eerily abandoned state we suddenly found ourselves in.
"Our collective decision to move forward without him is not something we thought we would ever be forced to say, but to ensure a continued legacy for what we hold dear to our hearts, we simply have to move past this. Whilst change can be difficult, we are doing our best to bring this new chapter forward with powerful positivity.
"My Dying Bride are not on hiatus. We were never on hiatus. However, we do genuinely wish Aaron all the luck in the world in his new solo endeavours."
Along with lead guitarist Andrew Craighan, Aaron Stainthorpe was one of the two remaining original members of the band until today. Two weeks before the release of their latest album, "A Mortal Binding," My Dying Bride cancelled all scheduled tour dates, citing internal tensions. Stainthorpe has said that he feared pushing forward in their state would cause relationships to become worse and felt that a break would be good for everyone. While the singer focused his energy on the band High Parasite, releasing their debut album, "Forever We Burn" in September of last year, My Dying Bride recruited Swallow The Sun vocalist Mikko Kotamäki to fill in and have just completed an Asian tour. There is currently no word on whether Kotamäki will become a full time member of the group, while High Parasite will be supporting fellow Yorkshiremen Paradise Lost on their upcoming UK tour dates.

70,000 Tons Of Metal 2024 (Day Four)
The last day of any music festival is always bittersweet. In the back of your mind, you know it’s inevitable, but you do your best to distract yourself. Today was our last chance to see as many bands as possible and enjoy every moment like it was our last. Death by 70,000 Tons of Metal was our objective and we were going to meet it at any cost to our bodies.
The final day on 70,000 Tons Of Metal has always been by tradition a mini-Halloween of sorts. Survivors will dress in costumes of all types ranging from funny to crude to basically nude. I noticed some costumes being worn during every day of the festival, but the majority still garbed up on the last day.
There were some great getups this year. One of my favorites was a stormtrooper from the Star Wars movies. We saw him meandering the boat on several occasions but once I saw him checking out the merch selection, I had to tell him/her that I hoped their aim of picking out the correct shirt was better than their marksmanship with their laser gun. They turned towards me and just stared me down. They obviously were not amused by my snarky comment.

Stormtrooper Is Not Amused
The first band on the list today was Einherjer. Einherjer has been part of a few 70k line-ups, but I’ve never actually stopped and watched them. That changed today. I can honestly say that they were very good for the style they played, old school Viking metal. It’s really not my thing, but at least I could finally check that box of finally seeing them.
_-_02-01-2024/Einherjer/Einherjer_6.jpg)
Einherjer
One of the festival’s most looked forward to attractions is the belly flop contest. By the time we arrived at the Solarium Pool, there wasn’t any open spots on the top deck to watch, we had to squeeze in from below. All shapes, sexes and sizes participate in this immensely popular and traditional event. The judges are always members of the bands and it’s a fun time for everyone involved. We were able to watch a few flops before grabbing lunch. It should come as no surprise that the person with the most body mass ended up with the highest score and winning the contest.

Sunblocked!
Another one of the highlights of the cruise is the Jamming In International Waters All Star Jam. It’s basically members of different bands getting together to cover classic metal songs. Many of the members have never played with each other before so there are some glitches here and there, but it’s worthwhile going to at least once if you’re a 70k newbie.
My Dying Bride was next on the day’s list and this would be our first time seeing this historic English doom band. As the crowd waited for them to take to stage, the fog machines were putting in some overtime. From my vantage point in the photo pit, I couldn’t even make out faces a couple rows behind me because there was so much fog. This is the ambience that great doom metal bands strive for and it worked out beautifully for My Dying Bride. Their gothic style of doom still holds up to this day and vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe is in a class all by himself not only in the classic doom genre, but for all heavy metal itself. More...
My Dying Bride Debuts New Music Video
British death-doom legends, My Dying Bride, recently announced their 15th studio album, "A Mortal Binding," which is set to be released on 19th April. Today, the Yorkshire based sextet have revealed the second single from the record. The solemn, mournful track titled "The 2nd Of Three Bells" comes accompanied by a richly Gothic video directed by Daniel Gray.
My Dying Bride's Andrew Craighan commented:
"The 2nd of three Bells see the band in a more musical performance role juxtaposed with artistic metaphor of the struggles between the deathknell itself and the lust for life’s brief joys." More...
My Dying Bride To Release New Album In April
British death-doom legends, My Dying Bride, are proud to announce their 15th studio album, "A Mortal Binding," set to be released on 19th April via Nuclear Blast Records. Today's news is accompanied by the release of tempestuous, heart-wrenching new single "Thornwyck Hymn." The track comes with a stunning video directed by Daniel Gray, depicting a maritime story of unfolding desire and tragedy.
My Dying Bride's Aaron Stainthorpe commented:
"Set upon the rugged coast of Yorkshire, Thornwyck village has spent an eternity being haunted by the chill waters that wash it’s shore – and the hidden folk who dwell in the salty depths.
"Woe betide anyone who fares into the briny sea, or even steels to close to it’s edge for they may never set foot back on mother earth."
"A Mortal Binding," the much-anticipated follow-up to "The Ghost Of Orion" (2020) finds the Yorkshire-based quintet delighting in anxiety, loss, and toil to resplendent effect. From the raw distress of "Her Dominion" and twisted horror of "Thornwyck Hymn" to the funerary violins of the 11-minute monolith "The Apocalyptist" and the classic-feeling "The 2nd of Three Bells," "A Mortal Binding" is pinnacle My Dying Bride. If "Songs of Darkness, Words of Light" (2004) elevated the band to new heights and "A Map Of All Our Failures" (2012) expanded upon the group’s mid-tens grandeur, then "A Mortal Binding" stages My Dying Bride’s next exultant phase of elegiac misery.
My Dying Bride hired "The Ghost Of Orion" studio wizard Mark Mynett to produce, mix, and master "A Mortal Binding." The group holed up at Mynett’s Mynetaur Productions (Paradise Lost, Rotting Christ) in Manchester, UK, where they tracked the album consecutively from July to September 2023. More...

My Dying Bride Shares New Music Video
Today, the kindred of Yorkshire raise the curtains: Their new MLP "Macabre Cabaret", following the band's highly acclaimed album "The Ghost Of Orion" (March 6th) is out today!
Singer Aaron Stainthorpe states:
"The latest offering from Yorkshire's finest merchants of misery features new music composed in the style the band have made their own over three decades which continues their relevance within the scene today. Macabre Cabaret is as menacing and brooding as it is beautiful and melancholic with crushing guitar riffs sailing side by side with emotive piano pieces and vocals to suit all flavours. The stunning artwork captures the image of the band perfectly offering a visual interpretation of the aural devastation that is My Dying Bride."
To celebrate the news, the band unveils a video for the titletrack today, which can be viewed below, as long with a new interview Aaron Stainthorpe did with Metal Underground.
Aaron Stainthorpe adds:
"The new video from My Dying Bride offers a visual treat for lovers of gothic menace and doom-heavy art. A narrative shot in various locations is cut with scenes of the band members doing what they do best – performing their music. A provocative story is played out to sombre overtones with a climax sitting well inside the shadows of malice as the band are dramatised in silhouette shade and smoky aplomb." More...
