U.K. doom metallersMy Dying Bridehave inked a deal withNuclear Blastfor their thirteenth studio album.
For 27 years,My Dying Bridefrom West Yorkshire has 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 like barely any other act and integrated both soft violin melodies and violent death metal growls into their music, while always staying strictly loyal to themselves. And since the early nineties, the band's masterminds and founding membersAndrew CraighanandAaron Stainthorpeforged beautiful grief into twelve studio albums with songs of epic length.
Stainthorpecomments: "It is with great pleasure thatMy Dying Bridecan announce they will be joining forces with the formidableNuclear Blast Recordsin early 2017 and have already begun working on material for the next LP and singles.
"It is no secret thatNuclear Blasthave 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 thatMy Dying Bridecame 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."
Since MyDying Briderarely leaves its damp catacombs to perform live rituals, each show is a highlight in itself and on April 22, the Brits will expose their legendary album"Turn Loose The Swans"in its entire length atRoadburnfestival. Together withShaun "Winter" Taylor-Steelson drums and a special backdrop lighting, the band will haunt the Dutch stage and deliver a truly unique experience.
