About The Brides
Hailing from the industrial heartlands of the UK, The Brides have carved out a formidable reputation since their formation in the late 2010s. Comprising the enigmatic vocals of Elias Thorne, the searing guitar work of Silas Black, the thundering basslines of Rowan Grey, and the relentless drumming of Iris Thorne, this quartet delivers a sound that is both ferociously heavy and surprisingly melodic. Their early EPs, “Ritual” and “Sacrifice,” quickly garnered underground attention, showcasing their unique blend of post-punk grit, alternative rock sensibility, and a healthy dose of pure, unadulterated hard rock.
Their breakthrough arrived with the critically acclaimed album “Veiled Truths,” featuring the anthemic singles “Crimson Vows” and “Shattered Glass,” which became staples on rock radio and propelled them onto larger stages. The Brides are celebrated for their intricate songwriting, often exploring themes of societal decay, personal struggle, and defiant hope, all wrapped in a sonic package that demands attention. Their live shows are legendary for their intensity; Elias Thorne’s captivating stage presence, combined with the band’s tight, high-octane delivery, creates an immersive experience that leaves audiences both exhilarated and exhausted. They are not merely performing; they are commanding, connecting with every single soul in the room.
