Drummer of MY DYING BRIDEShaun Steels has injured his ankle in a canoeing accident before Christmas. At first it was thought to be not very serious, but at the recent filming of The Blue Lotus video it turned out that the drumming has caused the injury to reappear. John from THE PROPHECY has agreed to stand in until Shaun has recovered. The band is now actively writing new stuff, rehearsing for and organising gigs.
Yorkshire's best bitter men are holed up in Academy Studio's recording the follow up to 2001's massive The Dreadful Hours album. No title as yet, but as the band recently celebrated their 13th anniversary the working title is The Thirteenth Chapter. We've lurked around the studio a couple of times for a sneak preview & can report back that it's sounding very dark & very twisted. The session ends in August with the album set for release on October 20th. A one off UK show at The Astoria on Halloween will celebrate the release.
The band also take a couple of breaks from recording in July to play the 'With Full Force Festival' (Germany) on the 6th. 'The Skeleton Bash Festival' (Austria) on the 26th July & 'Sziget Festival' (Hungary) on the 31st.
