During a recent interview with The Razor’s Edge podcast, Aaron Stainthorpe further addressed his estrangement from My Dying Bride. The vocalist, who has since been replaced by Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun) for live shows, is still hoping to resolve his issues with the group.
Stainthorpe said the following:
“Well, weirdly, when we did the last album — we always record more songs than we actually need, so we’ve got something left over for an EP. So when we did [2024’s] ‘A Mortal Binding’, again, there was a couple of songs left over for an EP. And then we had a big argument. But those songs are still somewhere, I think probably with Mark Mynett, the engineer. And so there’s two songs that no one’s ever heard — except, obviously, MY DYING BRIDE — waiting for the go-ahead. But I know there’s been turmoil at [MY DYING BRIDE’s record label] Nuclear Blast as well. All my contacts have gone, so I really don’t know what’s happening at Nuclear Blast, and I’m not entirely sure what’s happening with MY DYING BRIDE, but there are two songs floating around in limbo at the moment. Regarding brand new MY DYING BRIDE songs, well, I know they’re writing new stuff at the moment, but we haven’t got the argument out of the way yet. So until that’s sorted, I won’t be singing for them.”
He also expressed hope in resolving their issues:
“Well, I’d like to think so, because there’s 30 years of really, really good, really good work. And a band as respectful of that shouldn’t just wither and die. So we need to work on fixing that.”
