Mourning Beloveth 'A Murderous Circus'

Album no. 3 of the death-addicted irish. Entire Singer Darren Moore and his companions burned 5 songs into the cold round (CD). 5 songs full of damnation and death. Mourning Beloveth are extreme. No matter if Death or Doom dominates. Everything is exceeded and dissected to the excess. Deep and gloomy guitarwork. Merciless drums. Extreme vocals beyond human grace. A broad part is reserved for the exceeded, occassionally acoustic, atmospheric parts. "Elemental nausea" exists in the first part of just such a part and rolls extremely heavy to the end of the song without any change of speed. You always think the next eruption comes soon. But these irish guys let you decease in this believe and get more slow instead. "The crashing wave" instead exists in the first third a cool part with mixed acoustic and electric guitars and starts banging from one moment to another - it thrashes almost with heavy guitars onto you and after all it sinks in doomy Heaviness with clear voices. I already said it: it´s extreme! The most long track "Nothing..." is compared with the other songs a bit boring. The mixed vocals in the beginning seem to be a bit indiscriminate. The middlepart is is too long-winded and to much electronic - the same goes for the end of the song. This shouldn´t be! With "yet everything" everything gets ok again. Riffs heavy like lead and deep, malignant vocals quill out of the loudspeakers. Then, as a calmness before storm, dragging acoustic guitars and a clear voice. And then Mourning Beloveth attacks for the deathblow. Alltogether i must mention besides brilliant guitarworks the amazing vocals. No matter if growls or clean voices, fine-grinded to the end. Mourning Beloveth convince me more and more, the longer i listen to this album. "A murderous circus" will be available from 29th march on on normal CD and limited double luxus edition.
