My Dying Bride

I don't think so.

My Dying Bride doesn't have any songs about cowboys, do they? No.

No, they should.

I mean, they might later.

i like that just like very honest that's what we're going for now on i hate music is i honestly hate music i honestly hate

music

yeah yeah check it out it's really really cool stuff um you know years ago i mean what what was it like 90s david you sent me that one track and every now and then i still get that one track in my head i mean and it's been decades you know so that was a different vibe that was kind of like my dying bride meets sopra turnus type of type of jam.

Yeah.

and I...

I remember we were also listening to My Dying Bride.

Okay.

At about the same time as we were listening to this.

How do you guys get involved with Firebox Records?

um so back in those days there was kind of like a huge renaissance of funeral doom if you can call it that the doom metal calm forms were a huge part of it uh lots of lots of new bands uh like forming uh all taking influence from the stuff from the 90s well mostly like the finnish masters of skepticism and fairytale and then of course For us, it was also the American bands like Dusk or Australian bands like Disembowelment or UK bands like, well, the early My Dying Bride stuff or the first Cathedral demo or... stuff like that.

But yeah, in the early 2000s, the whole genre has kind of this revival, lots of bands forming.

And I think the internet had quite a lot to do with it because it connected a lot of people with similar interests.

There was a lot of excitement around this band as a as kind of a pastiche band.

Now that I think of it as kind of a more conservative version of of Pantera, My Dying Bride.

I remember lots of actually My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost Together as part of that, you know, mid 90s doom thing that was happening in England and a certain specific part of England.

But My Dying Bride even supported Dio.

And I remember that was a fond memory running the magazine when... deal came and did a, did a little bit of a meet and greet signing for staff.

And I was part of that.

Um, although I wasn't staff at the HMV in the basement and my dying bride actually did a, um, you know, Tim had them put on a little, uh, a little showcase, a little concert in the store.

Um, so that was really cool.

I think part of it, so it's very, so yeah, I said it was very sad, but it's lyrically very sad in a way that I don't think metal ever normally is.

Yeah, My Dying Bride, whatever.

There's plenty of doom around it.

Whatever, My

Dying Bride, whatever.

No,

no, I love My Dying Bride, but...

But yes, yes, they're sad songs, but they're like, it's often about like, you know, death or something dramatic or, but this is, it tends to be like relationship breakdown type things, which sounds a bit emo when you say it like that.

So there you go.

We also announced a show next Halloween in the Olympia Theater in Dublin with Towards the Sinister, the, uh, members of the original My Dying Bride doing all of the first couple of My Dying Bride, uh, numbers, and Mourning Beloveth playing the great Solan Sulcus album.

Um, and tickets are flying out.

It's absolutely outrageous.

It never got a certification, but there was a lot of excitement around this band as kind of a pastiche band, now that I think of it, as kind of a more conservative version of Pantera.

My Dying Bride, I remember lots of...

Actually, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost together as part of that mid-'90s doom thing that was happening in England, in a certain specific part of England.

But My Dying Bride even supported Dio.

And I remember that was a fond memory running the magazine when Dio came and did a little bit of a meet and greet signing for staff.

And I was part of that, although I wasn't staff at the HMV in the basement.

And My Dying Bride actually did a, you know, Tim had them put on a little showcase, a little concert in the store.

So that was really cool.

a bit of the Peaceful Three and, like, the Dark Metal kind of, like, bloodline, for sure.

Yeah, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema.

Yeah, even Anathema.

It's all there.

I'm like a proud dad over here.

Dead Venus, and My Dying Bride.

So those were some infamous goth metal bands.

Tonight, we're going to hear from maybe some more obscure bands.
