My Dying Bride

My Dying Bride是一支相当著名的Gothic-Metal乐队，最初的成员包括主唱Aaron Stainthorpe、吉他手Calvin Robertshaw、贝司手Andy和鼓手Rick Miah，1990年6月在英国成立。当时这支才华横溢的年轻乐队仅用了6个月的时间就制作了他们的第一张demo “Towards the Sinister”，这张作品非常成功，紧接着乐队在一家法国小公司发行了他们的首张单曲'God Is Alone'，作品发行后迅速的被销售一空，而乐队在这时更得到了Peaceville公司的青睐，也就是说这个年轻乐队才成立仅仅一年就得到了一家实力雄厚的唱片公司的支持！
The European goth metal band My Dying Bride formed in June 1990. The four-piece first recorded the demo tape Towards the Sinister, and after the release of a 7" single for the French Listenable label, the group signed to Peaceville Records in 1991. My Dying Bride's first release was a 1991 EP, Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium. Debut album As the Flower Withers appeared the following year, and after touring Great Britain and Europe, the band released another EP, The Thrash of Naked Limbs. Third album Turn Loose the Swans coincided with another European tour, after which the band disappeared for a year.
In the meantime, Peaceville issued a box set titled The Stories as well as the three-EP compilation Trinity. My Dying Bride returned later in 1995 with The Angel and the Dark River, also available in a double pack with a live EP. The band's fourth album, Like Gods of the Sun, appeared in late 1996; 34.7888% Complete followed two years later, and My Dying Bride was issued in early 2001, along with The Dreadful Hours. After Songs of Darkness, Words of Light in 2004 and just prior to the release of A Line of Deathless Kings in 2006, drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels departed the group due to health concerns. He was followed by bassist Adrian Jackson in 2007, as well as session drummer John Bennett. My Dying Bride rounded out the group with Lena Abé (bass) and Dan Mullins (drums). They released An Ode to Woe in 2008.
