[[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 (
Current lineup:
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* Dan Mullins, drums
{{discography}}
* ''Towards the Sinister'' (Demo, 1990)
* ''Symphonaire Infernus et Spera Empyrium'' (EP, 1991)
Line 35:
* ''For Darkest Eyes'' (Video, 1997) - includes a live performance and the band's early music videos; re-released on DVD in 2002 with additional live footage
* ''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
* ''The Light at the End of the World'' (Full-length, 1999) - a return to the band's [[Gothic Metal]] sound; harsh vocals are back again, but opinions ranged from mostly positive to [[
* ''Meisterwerk 1'' (Compilation, 2000)
* ''Meisterwerk 2'' (Compilation, 2001)
Line 50:

* [[Abusive Parents]]: "The Dreadful Hours" is about a child who is beaten by his father and dies.
* [[Altum Videtur]]: The lyrics of "Sear Me" (which are both grammatically incorrect and horribly mispronounced). Some other songs to a lesser extent, e.g. "Vast Choirs".
Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* [[Epic Rocking]]: Many songs are upwards of six, seven, or even ten minutes. The emphasis is generally on the "Epic" rather than the "Rocking" though.
* [[Harsh Vocals]]
* [[Intercourse
* [[Keep Circulating the Tapes]]: Most of the band's rare recordings are readily available on reissues or compilation albums, but the original versions of "God is Alone" and "De Sade Soliloquay" have not appeared anywhere except the ''God is Alone'' vinyl EP, now long out of print.
* [[Kiss of the Vampire]]: "A Kiss to Remember".
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]]: Mostly 8-9, with some (mostly early) songs hitting 10. ''34.788%...Complete'' takes it down a couple of notches. Completely non-metal songs like "Sear Me MCMXCIII", "Black God", and "For My Fallen Angel" are a 1 (though being non-metal, one could argue that it's pointless putting them on the scale at all).
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: "The Whore, the Cook and the Mother" seems to be a loving [[Intercourse
* [[Obligatory Bondage Song]]: "Your Shameful Heaven".
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: "The Blue Lotus", "Santuario Di Sangue".
