My Dying Bride hits the studio with Mikko Kotamäki for new album

British doom metal veterans My Dying Bride are back in the studio, hard at work on the follow-up to their 2024 release “A Mortal Binding”. And this time, there’s a new voice behind the mic.

Swallow the Sun frontman Mikko Kotamäki officially joined the band at the end of last year, stepping in for longtime vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe. Stainthorpe departed to focus on his new project High Parasite, where he’s now writing fresh material.

In a recent social media update, the band shared that they spent the weekend demoing new material and recording a live set for reference at Vibration Studios in Huddersfield. They also hinted that video footage from the session will be released soon.
