My Dying Bride
One of the three British bands acknowledged as originators in the
field of doomdeath metal (the others being
Paradise Lost and
Anathema ),
My Dying Bride have matured
into a powerful dark metal band, incorporating slight goth
influences into their distinctive somber style.
The style of the band has remained steady throughout their
career, with a partial departure being some of the mid-period
albums
(notably
34.788% ... Complete ) where a cleaner vocal style
was prevalent.
Yet the band has never stagnated, and continues to push the
boundaries of extreme doom metal, recording with regularity
every year or two, and always releasing quality material.
