September 2003 Newsletter

We are back from the USA with a lot of stories. Morgion could not join us on tour due to an accident following the first gig in LA so we headlined the tour that was a daunting, yet exciting prospect as we set out. We drove 17000miles in 5 weeks covering the length and breadth of America, from LA to NY to Texas and all the way to Portland Oregeon. From vans breaking down, to the Orodruin guitarist Nick quitting after two shows, shows being cancelled due to venues being shut down by health authorities and even being in NY during the blackout, you could say it was interesting We met some great people along the way who shared there homes with us and we would like to thank them all but it would take a few pages so we will just add it to the tour report which should be here soon along with pictures from all angles of life on the road. The crowds varied from 5 in LA and Reno to 150 at the SHOD festival in Portland but the general attendance was about 40-50 people per show, which wasn’t bad for a self financed DOOM tour. We learned a lot and lived a lot in those five weeks and they will not be forgotten quickly.<

As some of you may know Tim, our founding member, will not be joining us on the Doomination of America due to personal commitments. Long time friend, and excellent drummer, Anto, will replace him. It is a big blow to us that Tim cannot come on the trip of a lifetime and it will be the first Mourning Beloveth gigs without him but he is the one whom told us to continue.

We are finally back to the land of reality following two weeks travelling with Morgion and The Prophecy throughout Europe. The highlight of the two weeks had to be the gig in Evora, Portugal with a crowd of 350 people and an amazing atmosphere. The tour, overall was a success playing to the aforementioned 350 in Portugal with crowds ranging from 80 to 150 in Spain, France, Belgium and Holland. All three bands got along well and so much so that a Doomination of America is now in the planning stage. With 24 dates and two extra bands ( Evoken and Unearthly Trance) it should be an amazing month of Doom to hit the shores of America. The tour will begin on August 1st in LA and travel the coast and venturing for four dates in Canada. Keep an eye to the gig section here for more news. March 29th will see us venture up north again to Belfast with support from the Swarm and local act Devilmakesthree ti should be a diverse evening to say the least.
