Mourning Beloveth 'The Sullen Sulcus'
(AFTERMATH MUSIC)

Having found a reliable label in the shape and form of Aftermath, these Irish warriors of epic, mournful Doom strike back for the second time. And it seems they've started to receive the recognition they've deserved with this uncompromising music. Of course they didn't abandon the path they've chosen back in '92. No fuckin' way, they keep writing and playing slow, sad
> yet bewitching songs. And for this second album, they've managed to come up with even better tracks still capturing the essence of this genre. The album has six tracks in 65 minutes so you can easliy calculate the average length of the songs. There are no fast themes here just slow, sorrowfilled, tortorous guitar parts like at a funeral procession. Cool they use some
> spoken parts here and there, it enhances the desolation I guess. This voice, > by the way, quite similar to that of Nemtheanga (PRIMORDIAL) but it isn't mentioned in the info-sheeet Alan did any guest vocals on the album so it must have been a coincidence... They've again used studio Academy with Mags so the perfect sound is guaranteed as well as the quality music.
