My Dying Bride has excellent guitar work and very few solos. They purposely pace their rhythms down to a funeral dirge, with sporadic lapses into frenetic passages. Often, the drums are the lead instrument, especially in the older stuff, dominated by Rick Miah.
Hamish, one of the co-guitarists, has degrees in music and says, "knowing the rules helps me know how to break them".
Most people consider them a Doom band, but NOBODY does Death vocals better than Aaron, especially in the early stuff.
