Another lost little gem of female-fronted witchy doom, Mourn can be seen as a forerunner to the style that Jex Thoth, Blood Ceremony, Windhand, and The Devil's Blood are toiling over their cauldrons for today. Lately I just can't get enough of this stuff and this early example, circa 1995, is like a beacon out of time. It is unfortunate that this ensemble called it quits immediately after this release, as they clearly were bursting with ideas and energy - a few more albums and they maybe could've been as important and influential as your Sleeps or your Electric Wizards. Still, we have this to entrance and seduce us.Forever more.
The weather hasn't changed since I grabbed Runemagick from the swamp yesterday,so I need more DOOM...blasting westerly winds and showers of rain,hail and sleet that would hammer you into the ground...it's midsummer in a month!We've got a 2-day music festival on at the moment on a large green under the Lewis Castle by the harbour...an awesome location...I've got my tickets but last night was so shit weather wise,I just went to bed...and it's only a mile from my house...I'll probably put big boots on and trudge along tonight...THANKS FOR THE DOOM!
