"Mourning Has Broken" is not nearly as bad as some old Sabbat fans have said, but after listening to the album, I can understand why they are/were disappointed. It is an overlooked chapter in band's history, since the stylistic and vocal change was too marked after the previous two excellent albums.
After Martin Walkyier had exited, the band found replacement in Ritchie Desmond, who was significantly different from Martin's venomous voice. Desmond's soaring vocals did not fit the previous style of music, while he is not having a necessarily awful voice of his own accord, but is not a suitable replacement for Martin's aggressive, barking and burning vocals. In fact it seems a lot like Sabbat are trying to write a moody Progressive Power/Thrash Metal album, that only resembles the predecessors through some of Sneap's boxy, dark distortion.
Andy Sneap's guitar work and Simon Negus' drums drive the many tempo changes of this tune, which varies back and forth from mid-paced to fast. Andy created a whole lot of great solos throughout their songs and used a lot of progressions to make them sound different each time. But sometimes the songs sounds detached and there is no synergy. It doesn't mean, that Sneap was turned into a bad guitarist overnight. What is missing from this album is the adversarial spirit that Walkyier provided. Band was defined by the chemistry between the two of them.

대영제국의 스래쉬는 어떠한가. 그 호기심 하나로 찾아서 들었으나 컬트적인 그 무엇인가는 확실히 존재한다는 것말고는 남길것이 없었습니다. 사실 본작은 스래쉬라고 하기에는 애매한 부분이 상당히 많고, 91년작이라기에는 지나치게 구식입니다. 기승전결이 없는데도 곡이 길기만 한것은, 비단 이들 뿐만 아니라 많은 밴드들이 제대로 공부해야할 과제입니다.

Posledný album zásadne poznačila zmena speváka. Výborného Martin -a Walkyier -a nahradil Ritchie Desmond, ktorý mal úplne iný štýl spevu (melodický a výškový) oproti predošlému tvrdšiemu a priamočiaremu. Nemá zlý štýl spevu, ale k hudbe a značke Sabbat sa moc nehodí. Kapela sa taktiež posunula viac k Technickému Power/Thrash Metal -u s prvkami Heavy Metal -u.

굉장히 좋아하는 밴드인데 빛을 못 본거 같아서 아쉽다. 당시 유행하던 미국이나 독일의 스래쉬와는 확연히 다른 영국만의 독특한 스래쉬를 보여준다. 특히나 이 밴드의 특징은 Blind Guardians 처럼 대놓고 중세풍은 아니지만 묘하게 중세적인 느낌을 주는 진행이다.
