Black Metal Chronicles: THE CHOIR OF AGONY RELEASES “THE FOREVER PEOPLE II” FEATURING AARON STAINTHORPE, EDUARDO P. AND DANIEL FAUAZE

Turkish gothic death/doom metal act The Choir of Agony has unveiled the official video for its new single “The Forever People II”, featuring legendary My Dying Bride vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe alongside Eduardo P. "Harbinger of Doom" Mota (The Cross) and Daniel Fauaze (The Cross).

Turkish Death/Gothic Doom Metal band The Choir of Agony has officially released its new international collaborative single and video, “The Forever People II”, now available on YouTube and digital streaming platforms.

Bringing together musicians from Türkiye, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, the release further strengthens the band's growing international presence within the gothic and death doom metal scene while continuing its collaborative artistic vision.

The song features legendary guest vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe, widely known as the iconic voice of My Dying Bride and current frontman of High Parasite. As one of the most influential figures in gothic doom metal history, Stainthorpe's unmistakable vocal style and lyrical legacy have helped shape the genre for more than three decades. His participation marks one of the most significant collaborations in The Choir of Agony's career to date.

Joining him is Eduardo P. of Brazilian gothic doom metal band The Cross. Known for his dark, melancholic approach and powerful vocal presence, Eduardo adds another layer of emotional depth to the composition. The track also includes contributions from Daniel Fauaze, further emphasizing the project's international character.

Founded in İzmir, Türkiye, The Choir of Agony has steadily gained attention through its combination of death doom heaviness, gothic atmosphere, and ritualistic songwriting. The band's music is characterized by cinematic arrangements, oppressive emotional weight, and an evolving network of collaborations with respected musicians from across the global doom metal community.

At the center of the band's identity stands vocalist Senem Semiz, whose deep and commanding extreme vocals have become one of The Choir of Agony's defining trademarks. Her performance on “The Forever People II” creates a powerful contrast against the song's melancholic atmosphere, reinforcing the band's distinctive interpretation of gothic doom metal.

Accompanied by an official video, “The Forever People II” presents a dark and emotionally charged meeting between established figures of the classic doom metal scene and a new generation of international gothic death doom musicians. The result is a work that bridges the heritage of traditional doom metal with The Choir of Agony's contemporary and collaborative vision.
