Release Date: 25th January 2010 (Europe), 16th February 2010 (U.S.A.)
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.

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.
BIOGRAPHY
In Mourning was formed in the year of 2000.
After the release of some demos, they released their debut album, “Shrouded Divine” on Aftermath Music in January 2008. The album got really great reviews from various magazines and webzines all over the world.
In the summer of 2009, In Mourning entered a new chapter by signing a 2-record deal with Pulverised Records. Their new album, “Monolith” will be the first release on Pulverised Records and is planned for an early 2010 release.
In Mourning - The Smoke
Smoke Lyrics
In the alley at night time, when the mist covers the ground The restless on their promenades are staring at your misery The smile of the beggar, as you try to hide from his greasy eyes The nights are long when you are scared and alone
So you take one more deep breath to numb the pain Why should you care when you are lost out in the rain
The girl in the mirror is bleeding, you have to live with her scars The smoke is in your eyes, it hides the obvious for a while
So you take one more deep breath to numb the pain Why should you care when you are lost out in the rain So you do it once again to ease your sorrow Why should you bother, the pain will not be gone tomorrow
When you are lost in your own escape You wish upon another star and the tear starts falling So you do it once again to ease your sorrow Why do you bother, the pain will not be gone tomorrow
So comes another dawn with no hope in sight It is much clearer now in the light You stumble and fall back to the ground One last breath in before you go back home This is not a new day This day it will be the same way
So you take one more deep breath to numb the pain Why should you care when you are lost out in the rain So you do it once again to ease your sorrow Why should you bother, the pain will not be gone tomorrow
So comes another dawn with no hope in sight It is much clearer now in the light You stumble and fall back to the ground One last breath in before you go back home This is not a new day This day it will be the same way

“Sweden have a new contender in the melancholic death metal ring! 'Monolith' is an evolution from the band’s previous release formulating the best elements of Katatonia, Amon Amarth and Hypocrisy to create a musical landscape that is as upsetting as it is uplifting.” – Metal Hammer UK
“A good mix of growls and clean vocals, some delicate acoustic arrangements ingrained with Scandinavian folk music, and a portion of well-dosed epic-ness.” – Terrorizer Magazine UK
