[[My Dying Bride]] is a [[Doom Metal]] band from England, formed in 1990. Initially playing what was essentially [[Death Metal]] with [[Epic Rocking|longer-than-average songs]], interspersed with slow, melodic passages featuring keyboard and violin, the band gradually progressed more towards [[Gothic Metal]] and [[Doom Metal]], dropping the death metal vocals entirely for several albums before returning to a heavier sound around the turn of the century. They are considered a [[Trope Maker]] for both [[Gothic Metal]] and Death/Doom, along with [[Anathema]] and [[Paradise Lost (band)|Paradise Lost]], the three bands being known together as the "Peaceville Three" after their record label.

* ''34.788%...Complete'' (Full-length, 1998) - the band's [[New Sound Album]], with heavy trip-hop influences and lots of [[Wangst|Wangsty]] lyrics, bringing with it an enormously [[Broken Base]]; reaction has generally become more positive over time and a couple of songs are still regularly played live
