MyChildren MyBride is an American metalcore band from Madison, Alabama. The group originally signed with Solid State Records after extensive constant touring, including various dates in European countries.[1] After spending seven years and releasing three full-length albums with Solid State, MyChildren MyBride signed with eOne/Good Fight Music.

History

Their first full-length album Unbreakable was released on Solid State Records on February 26, 2008.[2][3]

A video for the song "On Wings of Integrity" was released on February 16, 2010 by the band in conjunction with Mitchell Davis with over 60,000+ hits within 18 hours.[4]

MyChildren MyBride

[edit]

In April 2011 guitarist Dan Alvarado decided that it was time for him to leave the band. He posted a message as a note on Facebook citing God's leading for him to go a different direction. There are no hard feelings between him and the rest of the band.[6] He was replaced by Hunter Walls.

In October 2011, Mychildren Mybride entered the studio with Zeuss at Planet Z Recordings in Hadley Massachusetts to record their third Solid State Records release entitled MyChildren MyBride, set to be released on March 13, 2012.[7]

The band toured in support for For Today on the Fight the Silence Tour in March and April 2012.[8] In mid-2012, the band toured on the Scream the Prayer Tour.[9] 6 Bassist Joe Lengson left the band in March 2012[10] to be replaced by Nelson Flores of The Great Commission and Sovereign Strength.
