Don't get your hopes up if you're looking for some kind of experimental progressive metal group that only plays in time signatures divisible by 32nd notes- you're getting approximately zero percent of that with Mourn. Instead, think more along the lines of Pantera and Black Label Society. Hell, the band even acknowledges the fact that they're just grooving on some fat-ass grooves for the sake of grooving on some fat-ass grooves because they love it. Quoth their Soundcloud…
"In late 2013, MOURN decided to bring nothing new. Since everything already had been done before, and everything else wouldn’t be worth making, these brave young men decided to do something entirely different: to acknowledge their total lack of cutting edge. Trying not to copy other bands, this band makes a mixture of Metal, Rock and Blues like a lot of other bands before them. Bands you of course have heard of, going from Pantera and Down to Black Sabbath and Black Label Society."
So yeah, chunky grooves for days. The group consists of bassist Robin Zielhorst (ex-Cynic, Exivious), drummer Thomas Frankhuijzen (March), guitarist Kas Kluitman and vocalist Pieter Verpaalen (ex-Textures). Let's get on with the music!
