West Yorkshire, England-based doom metal band My Dying Bride have filmed a music video for the title track of their new EP Macabre Cabaret. Directed by Hal Sinden, the clip can be viewed below.
Regarding the video, vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe said: “The new video from My Dying Bride offers a visual treat for lovers of gothic menace and doom-heavy art. A narrative shot in various locations is cut with scenes of the band members doing what they do best – performing their music. A provocative story is played out to sombre overtones with a climax sitting well inside the shadows of malice as the band are dramatised in silhouette shade and smoky aplomb.”
My Dying Bride issued three-song EP Macabre Cabaret on November 20th, 2020 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Speaking about each track on the EP, Aaron Stainthorpe stated: “‘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.”
Macabre Cabaret was produced, mixed and mastered by Mark Mynett at Mynetaur Productions in Manchester, England.
A second video trailer for the outing has been released and can also be viewed below. In the latest clip, Aaron Stainthorpe takes a walk through Yorkshire and shares his inspirations and favourite sights.
