My Dying Bride announce new EP ‘Macabre Cabaret’

MY DYING BRIDE have announced a new EP!

Titled Macabre Cabaret, the upcoming EP from the British melancholic experts follow on from the release of their latest album, Ghost of Orion (which was released in March), and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Speaking about the three songs that appear on the release, vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe says,Macabre Cabaret delves into the shadow empire of dark love and the consequences of unchecked sexuality. The deep passion of physical desire and its all-conquering rage over pure love is written bleakly here. A destructive essence within the soul can’t help but rear its ugly head.

A Secret Kiss is the final and lasting mark on the soul any human will feel when the lights have dulled and nothing meaningful remains for them. All religion features a shadow creature who arrives at the point of extinction and the release of the human soul, to either guide them to majesty or allow them do fall eternally into the ether.

A Purse of Gold and Stars is where we keep our hopes and desires and affection, perhaps in a dreamlike state, unattainable yet we still reach out for them. The trinkets and shiny baubles we call happiness and love are what we try so hard to keep close and protect. But it is never quite like that in real life and is often a struggle tainted with sadness but still, we hold the purse close and in tight cold hands.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the first song from the upcoming EP; A Secret Kiss.
