Monolith sounds a good metal name, doesn't it? Well, I'm here to tell you that the album Monolith by In Mourning, a Swedish band pretty new to me, is as good a metal album as I have heard since...the last really good metal album I raved about.
If you like Opeth, and what right-thinking person would not, then you will love In Mourning. Its both brutal and beautiful, melodic and monstrous, and epic, without just being Opeth.
What is it about Swedish bands? Opeth, Meshuggah, Soilwork, Amon Amarth et al. And now In Mourning must be added to the list.
Go out and buy...okay, stay in and click a couple of buttons on Amazon...and buy Monolith immediately. Then, like me, you'll have to try and get a copy of their first album Shrouded Divine, which I listened to on we7 and it sounds equally magnificent.
Then all we have to do is convince the band to come and play in the UK.
