Description

German melodic death metal. Mourning Caress play a unique brand of metal that at times remind me of Down or Frozen-era Sentenced. Mourning Caress is predominantly heavier than Sentenced though. They seem to have an almost similar death/doom feel to their songs, but unlike Sentenced, Mourning Caress uses more melody, and they have some fantastic harsh raspy growling vocals, rather than clean vocals. For this first album the band re-recorded 4 songs from the Perspectives EP with some beefed up sound. Mourning Caress pours out heaps of catchy leads and riff after riff after riff of melodic death metal bliss. The drums are usually medium paced, but sometimes they speed up to do the whole double bass drum thing. The songs themselves never get too fast, staying around the mid paced mark. When the guitars slow down (with or without distortion), is sometimes when the drumming will get fast, creating a nice feel to keep things interesting. This is a great album that should not be overlooked; Mourning Caress produces zero minutes and zero seconds of boringness on this album. You need to hear this album whether or not you enjoy melodic death/doom.
