  • My Dying Bride Officially Part Ways With Singer Aaron Stainthorpe

    My Dying Bride have officially parted ways with singer Aaron Stainthorpe. This news comes as the band have been touring with Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun) on vocals.

    The group said the following:

    “My Dying Bride have decided to part ways with vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe.

    Please understand that this decision does not come lightly, hence our initial and painful silence while we gathered our thoughts and carefully considered our response to the disengaged, eerily abandoned state we suddenly found ourselves in.

    Our collective decision to move forward without him is not something we thought we would ever be forced to say, but to ensure a continued legacy for what we hold dear to our hearts, we simply have to move past this. Whilst change can be difficult, we are doing our best to bring this new chapter forward with powerful positivity.

    My Dying Bride are not on hiatus, we were never on hiatus. However, we do genuinely wish Aaron all the luck in the world in his new solo endeavours.”

    Astronoid have premiered a new video for their new song “Third Shot.” This track is from the band’s new album “Stargod,” which will be released on November 7.

    Brett Boland commented:

    “We knew as soon as ‘Third Shot’ was written it would be the first single on the record. It was the song that solidified the direction of the album. The song is about how much we love what we do, and the lives we have built around our love of music. Each band member has experienced losses while building our lives. The song embodies the beauty of embracing your dreams while simultaneously traversing the loss. We are grateful for all the beautiful moments in our lives and hope that this song can bring beauty into other lives as well.”

    He also added:

    “It was a tumultuous season. A lot of fans asked, ‘Where did Astronoid go?’ Well, we were dealing with life. ‘Stargod is about our love for music. I can’t believe it’s taken us to where we are, and I wish the people who we’ve lost were here to see what we’ve done.”
