" After five demos,Swedish new-comers In Mourning have released their debut album on aftermath music. And a sweet slice of scandanavian metal it is. In Mourning contains the same drummer - Christian Netzell of already reviewed Volturyon (search the site)A spectacular Death Metal release that is still in regular rotation on my car stereo. This record "shrouded divine" is a completely different animal all together....with the music generally following a pattern of dark, moody, death-influenced metal, interspersed with melancholy acoustic detours and instrumental sections, all infused with a general 'progressive' vibe"

" Some opethian influences do exist...especially in the vocal department as well as some Swallow The Sun melancholic passages.Thrown into the mix is some faster Dark Tranquillity type riffing and you have a quality,original release in front of you. In Mourning have managed to infuse all these influences without copying said bands...creating a release with melody, variety, cohesion and pacing all in the right place "

" So while this record may sound familiar in certain parts..the sum of it all : with strong musicianship and song writing makes for a Top Notch listen!
