<\/div>\n

About halfway through \u201cYour Broken Shore,\u201d the first new song by doom-metal firebrands My Dying Bride<\/a> in five years, the band seems to experience a near breakdown. The only instrument left is Andrew Craighan\u2019s guitar, sounding out like a trumpet until the drums kick back in. The moment is beautiful and a little hopeful but also heartbreaking all at once. It\u2019s the true essence of My Dying Bride, a group that could rightfully claim to be metal\u2019s most sorrowful band.<\/p>\n

Judging from \u201cYour Broken Shore,\u201d which comes off the group\u2019s upcoming The Ghost of Orion <\/em>LP, the group has made it a point to return to that original spark, even though Craighan and vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe are the only original members. The song\u2019s morose, stacked guitar riff and Stainthorpe\u2019s mixture of gothic moans and death-metal growls recall My Dying Bride\u2019s early high-water marks like 1993\u2019s Turn Loose the Swans<\/em> and 1995\u2019s The Angel and the Dark River<\/em>. On those early releases, the group combined the gloom of Black Sabbath with the duskiness of Christian Death to make doom metal that was as emotional as it was sad and angry \u2014 a combo some of their peers never quite got right.<\/p>\n

Stainthorpe\u2019s Bram Stoker garb onstage and the group\u2019s consistent use of violin may be a bit too fey for some headbangers, but it\u2019s the band\u2019s sense of drama that makes them able to sell moods like the one on \u201cYour Broken Shore.\u201d When Stainthorpe sings about being a \u201cbroken liar\u201d or a line like \u201cthe doom of your broken shore, it washes over me,\u201d you feel<\/em> his words as much as you hear them, because of the way he becomes the character in the song. And when he growls, you feel his rage. But it\u2019s the way that Craighan\u2019s guitar seems to pull at those feelings and tease them out \u2014 the way they work together \u2014 that makes the song so compelling and moving.<\/p>\n
