MY DYING BRIDE guitarist addresses concert cancelations: “we have some live problems which we're massaging”
19-02-2024
In a new interview with Lindsay C of This Day In Metal, Andrew Craighan, the guitarist of English doom metal pioneers MY DYING BRIDE, addressed the recent announcement that he and his bandmates were canceling all of their previously announced 2024 tour dates, including an appearance at this year’s Maryland Deathfest. He said: “Well, Maryland Deathfest, firstly, shouldn’t have said that, and they know that and have since apologized — well, privately apologized.
“We have some live problems, which we’re — how best to say it? — massaging, I would say. They’re not insurmountable. I don’t have all the facts just yet, which means I don’t wanna blab too much. But we’re in talks with everybody who has the facts, and we will be putting out a statement, basically, that either will explain or at least calm people down as to what’s going on.
“It’s all a bit weird right now, so it’s difficult to talk about — mainly because I don’t wanna say anything out of turn and then everything you say will be used in evidence against you and all that,” he added.

MY DYING BRIDE release their 15th studio album, “A Mortal Binding” today, on April 19 via Nuclear Blast Records. The release of the last single “Thornwyck Hymn” was announced earlier. The track comes with a video directed by Daniel Gray, depicting a maritime story of unfolding desire and tragedy.

Singer Aaron Stainthorpe states:
“The latest offering from Yorkshires finest merchants of misery features new music composed in the style the band have made their own over three decades which continues their relevance within the scene today. Macabre Cabaret is as menacing and brooding as it is beautiful and melancholic with crushing guitar riffs sailing side by side with emotive piano pieces and vocals to suit all flavours. The stunning artwork captures the image of the band perfectly offering a visual interpretation of the aural devastation that is My Dying Bride.”
