Stainthorpe Returns With Classic Doom | Music News

Aaron Stainthorpe, the legendary voice of My Dying Bride for 35 years, is back with a new project called Towards the Sinister — a faithful reunion of the band’s early doom metal sound. Joined by original members Calvin Robertshaw, Ade Jackson, and Rick Miah, they’re exclusively performing material from the band’s first four albums, including classics like “As The Flower Withers” and “Turn Loose The Swans.” This nostalgic return comes after Stainthorpe was ousted from My Dying Bride in 2025, following the band’s decision to bring in Mikko Kotamäki for live vocals. The response has been electric — fans are thrilled to hear the original lineup deliver that signature dark, heavy tone live again. With warm-up gigs already booked and European festival dates set for next summer, Towards the Sinister isn’t just a comeback — it’s a full-throated celebration of My Dying Bride’s most revered era.
