My Dying Bride release a music video for 'Feel the Misery'

English doom metal merchants My Dying Bride are about to release their new, 12th, full-length studio album 'Feel the Misery' (on September 18th). The music video has been made for the title track, and can be seen here:

Vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe offers some insight here to the thoughts behind it:

"Using "The Raft of Medusa" by French romantic painter Théodore Géricault as visual inspiration as well as taking cue's from the bands own bleak and foreboding music, My Dying Bride's latest video is a harrowing tale of tragedy and loss.

Filmed on the Pembroke coast of South Wales and in particular, St. Govans Chapel, the scenes were set to play out the narrative as vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe takes the role of a lone musician and poet who stumbles upon a fallen maiden while combing the seascape for curiosities.

Clearly the victim of a recent shipwreck, she is gathered up and removed to a suitable, sombre resting place, all the while the mournful 'Feel the Misery' plays alongside, marrying the rich visuals with the melancholic song."
