About ten years ago Son Of The Mourning -the melodic
metal-core/screamo influenced kings of Manchester (UK) recorded and released
the ‘Forest Bank’ CD to great acclaim in the UK HC scene, and then soon after
came the split CD with My Shining One (from NJ, USA). The band quickly became
pretty busy sharing stages with Converge, Beecher,
Eden Maine,
Number One Son, Aconite Thrill, Shaped By Fate and many others. Then they
started to record a full album for us but unfortunately, and as sometimes
happens, the band broke up.
Now, a decade later, and mainly thanks to Gav Brady
(Guitar/Vocals) those tracks have been finished and re-mixed. The resulting
hard riffing 7 track metal-core rifferama is aptly titled ‘Eulogy’ and will be
released on UK/US label Engineer Records on 10th May 2019.
These seven tracks just never let you catch your breath and
the fierce and uncompromising mixes will go down very well with SOTM’s original
fans and anyone akin to bands such Alexis On Fire, Black Dahlia Murder,
Cave-In, Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Darkest Hour, Boy Sets Fire, Poison the
Well, Killswitch Engage, Hopesfall, Skycamefalling and labelmates Eden Maine
and Nine Days to No One.
