In Mourning: new album 'Afterglow' out in May

Sweden's lauded melodic death/doom metallers and Agonia Records recent addition, In Mourning, have revealed details surrounding their anticipated new album. Entitled 'Afterglow', the opus will be released on May 20th, 2016.

The band commented: "The new album is called 'Afterglow' and its story takes off from where 'The Weight of Oceans' ends. It's a bit more complex than our previous albums and it has got a bit of a different sound than the older ones, a bit more alive like a band and maybe not always as studio corrected as our earlier material. However, the foundation of the music is still what we've always done and the key elements are pretty much the same but with some new additions and a few new twists and turns of course."

This will be the first album featuring new drummer, Daniel Liljekvist (ex-Katatonia).

Track listing:
1. Fire and Ocean
2. The Grinning Mist
3. Ashen Crown
4. Below Rise to the Above
5. The Lighthouse Keeper
6. The Call to Orion
7. Afterglow

Hailed by many as the heir to Opeth's melodeath throne, In Mourning was formed in the Swedish woods in the year 2000. Since then the band has evolved over the years striving to refine its sound to what it is today. April 2012 marked the release of the bands third and latest album 'The Weight of Oceans', a mythology inspired conceptual story that journeys to the sea. Musically, the group blends a broad spectrum of influences into a foundation of melodic death metal. Thrusting from doomy metal riffs, blasting drumbeats and deep growling vocals to calm breezes of clean flowing melodies and harmonies.
