Such a powerful Album. An amazing emotion reached my heart while listening this magnificent piece of art! The Evolution from their previous album clearly show a growth of Maturity.
I really hope they will keep up their evolution and reach something else, something hopefully better.
My favorite piece so far is "A Vow to Conquer The Ocean".
Something within that song go deep inside me and pull out some sleeping emotion!
I do think this is a Band that deserve way more Attention than it currenlty have, Sadly in Canada Progressive metal isn't big enough/isn't known enough. On the bright side a band like this one can make it happen!
Keep Going & Thank you!

또 한번의 업그레이드를 거쳐 돌아온 In Mourning이다. 2010년대 후반부터, 북유럽 멜데스 씬에서 사실상 '프록'의 느낌을 완전히 지워내는 것은 어렵게 되었다. 아직까지는 직선적인 파워를 잃지 않고 있는 Arch Enemy를 제외한다면, 중기작부터 프록의 경계에 걸쳐있다는 평가를 받기도 했던 Dar... Read More

혹평을 받았던 전작과 달리, 분위기를 일신해서 돌아온 스웨덴 프록 멜데스의 선두주자인 In Mourning의 귀환. 그러나 Monolith, The Weight of Oceans의 멜로디와 리프를 기대했다면 오산이다. 물론, Verse-Chorus의 구성을 탈피한 프록 메탈의 악곡과 클린보컬/하쉬보컬의 교차, 포스트록을 연상시키는 ... Read More

무려 4년만에 나온 앨범이다.
결론부터 말하자면 4년만에 나온 앨범치고는 매우 실망스럽다. 특히 전작이 아주 뛰어났기에 더 그렇다.
전체적으로는 전작에 비해 몰입도가 상당히 떨어지고 테크닉적으로 별볼일이 없다.
전작같은 짜임새있는 구성은 온데간데 없고 비슷한 브레이크 다... Read More
