IN MOURNING – “Monolith”

(Available in Jewel Case format)

25th January – Europe

16th February – USA

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.

“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
