My Dying Bride Sign with Nuclear Blast Records; Playing Turn Loose the Swans at Roadburn

Granted, I’m not sure how likely this scenario would be in the first place, but if you were to have come up to me on the street and ask me if I ever thought My Dying Bride would release an album not on Peaceville Records again, my answer would have been, “Uh… probably not?” The long-running UK depressives were the quintessential Peaceville band, and while it’s true their fellow Brit-doom pioneers in Paradise Lost and Anathema have moved on — Paradise Lost to Century Media, Anathema to prog-minded Peaceville sub-label KscopeMy Dying Bride‘s 2015 full-length, Feel the Misery (review here), seemed to be right at home where it was. So yeah, to hear they’ll offer up their next one through Nuclear Blast is a genuine surprise.

The feeling I get from vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe‘s comment below is that it’ll be a while before their next album actually surfaces, so at least I’ve got some time to wrap my head around the notion. In the interim, they’ll be at Roadburn next month playing their pivotal second LP, 1993’s Turn Loose the Swans, in its entirety (info here), and if that’s not comfort food, nothing is.

Crazy days in which we live. The PR wire takes it from here:

MY DYING BRIDE sign to Nuclear Blast

For 27 years, MY DYING BRIDE from West Yorkshire have been the voice of the hopeless and broken, combining haunting sounds with crushing misery and melancholy. With their signature sound they’ve shaped the doom metal scene more than any other act, and integrated both soft violin melodies and violent death metal growls into their music, whilst always staying strictly loyal to themselves. Since the early nineties, the band’s masterminds and founding members Andrew Craighan and Aaron Stainthorpe forged beautiful grief into twelve studio albums with songs of epic length.

However for their 13th release, the band is now bound for new horizons and proudly announces their signing to Nuclear Blast Records!

Singer and lyricist Aaron Stainthorpe comments:
“It is with great pleasure that MY DYING BRIDE can announce they will be joining forces with the formidable Nuclear Blast Records in early 2017 and have already begun working on material for the next LP and singles. It is no secret that Nuclear Blast have continued to expand greatly over the years, signing epic bands from all corners of the world and giving them the chance they deserve to make something of themselves in the ever expanding metal scene. And it’s time that MY DYING BRIDE came along for the ride. We are hoping that this wedding between a very solid label and a well established act will bear fruit of mighty proportions in the exciting years to come. Cheers!”

Since MY DYING BRIDE rarely leave their damp catacombs to perform live rituals, each show is a highlight in itself and on April 22nd, the Brits will expose their legendary album Turn Loose The Swans in its entire length at Roadburn Festival. Together with Shaun ‘Winter’ Taylor-Steels on drums and a special backdrop lighting, the band will haunt the Dutch stage and deliver a truly unique experience.
