In Mourning: Monolith

Swedish melancholic Metallers IN MOURNING have far transcended above their predecessors with this intoxicating brand new full-length effort entitled “Monolith”.

Picking up right from where they left off with the highly successful debut “Shrouded Divine”, “Monolith” continues with the same approach but this is an entirely different beast, with far more accomplished musicianship and songwriting. The compelling performance on “Monolith” is way beyond words can describe; the throbbing sorrow and darkness have finally eclipsed!

Recorded, mixed and mastered at Black Lounge Studio, Sweden (Carnal Forge, Scar Symmetry, Steel Attack, etc) with Scar Symmetry axe-man Jonas Kjellgren, and with the perfectly fitting style of introspect artist Travis Smith (Nevermore, Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, King Diamond, etc), “Monolith” is sonically and aesthetically lamenting, and will without a doubt be one of the pinnacle albums in 2010.


MARKETING AND PROMOTION / SELLING POINTS:

• IN MOURNING garnered a lot of positive attention and rave reviews worldwide with their debut album “Shrouded Divine”.

• Formed in 2000 and although a relatively young band, IN MOURNING had already released 5 self-financed demos and thus developed a unique style of melancholic yet catchy songwriting throughout the formative years.

• “Monolith” is the logical follow-up album from the debut “Shrouded Divine”, but with a far more mature and progressive songwriting style, clocking over 55 minutes in running time.

• “Monolith” is once again recorded at the Black Lounge Studio, Sweden, together with engineer / producer / Scar Symmetry guitarist Jonas Kjellgren. Black Lounge Studio is a recording haven to many established and legendary acts such as Carnal Forge, Steel Attack, Scar Symmetry, etc.

• The artwork and layout for “Monolith” was designed and supervised by world-renowned introspect artist Travis Smith (Nevermore, Opeth, Strapping Young Lad, King Diamond, Katatonia, etc).

• For fans of Opeth, Katatonia, Swallow The Sun, etc!
