Reviews list for In Mourning - The Weight of Oceans (2012)

This release was a very pleasant surprise as it is a major step up in quality. In Mourning have expanded on the progressive influences they hinted at previously & have disposed of the generic melodic death metal sound to leave us with a very professional & interesting progressive death metal album. The vocals have improved a fair bit & the production & musicianship is very good. The songwriting has advanced quite a long way. Clean track "Celestial Tear" is particularly well done. I think they are probably only an album away from something really special so I'll need to check out their more recent material. Give this release a few listens though as it took a little while to grab me but that may well have been due to my previous prejudices having found their previous album to be very flat.
