Mourning Beloveth enter the studio on December 7 and 8 to record a new track for the split 7" with fellow dark metallers Lunar Gate. The track is as yet untitled but will be part 1 and there will be more to come in the Spring next year.
The Sullen Sulcus will be out in December through Aftermath Music and a list of distributors and licence deals will appear on the site as soon as it is released. Below is the front cover of the new album designed by Paul McCarroll.
Some advance copies of the album have been sent to magazines throughout Europe. Hammer Mag (Ger) gave TSS 6/7 with an interview to follow. This was the highest mark for a new band in the upcoming issue.
Scream Magazine (Nor) said
"Aftermath knows the art of selecting solid and special doom metal. Here the company is on its way with another classic, close to Runemagicks two brilliant albums. Mourning Beloveth is like the Swedes in the doom/death genre, this time from Ireland, and "The Sullen Sulcus" is a album that have blown me away recently, if you can say that of music so heavy and depressive as this. Everything is done correct here. The production, courtesy of Mags in The Academy, is cleaner than newly fallen snow. The music is heavier than a pregnant elephant. The vocals more death than the end of life. The songs so slow like a week old snot. (ED: If that is the word for what's inside your nose ? Err...Don`t know the English word for that, sorry!). This is doom with death vocals we haven`t heard since the early nineties, and I am looking for comparisons. Think about My Dying Bride with extra heaviness and power and you are getting closer. There are also clean vocals here, and the guy doing this could have sung in any power metal band. Enough said, this is the album for everyone with a sense for heaviness should own! Tell me you are a doom fan and you don`t like this one, and I will give you speed metal for the rest of your life!"
