This
Irish doom band has got to do something about updating their
biography on their website. It only goes through 2005. Who
knows? Maybe it is updated, and Mourning Beloveth got stuck in
time, in an era where life was far simpler, where the everyday
complications of the modern man weren’t even a dream and
pastoral life was a peachy idea. Or maybe they are caught in
another dimension, in a plane where darkness reigns supreme,
dark clothing is mandatory and depression is just another season
of the year. Maybe, Mourning Beloveth are reliving the birth of
funeral doom and are recreating it through their own version of
snail paced metal. Cause shit, updating an official site can’t
be that hard. Sites like metal-archives.com are far more
informative about the band than their official site. Or maybe I
should grow the fuck up and be more responsible, I shouldn’t
lose all the promo package that usually comes attached to the
albums.
But anyway,
as I have learned from this referential site, A Disease for
the Ages is the band’s fourth full-length without
counting a split with paisanos Lunar Gate. Its five songs are
fucking heavy and fucking slow. But moving at the pace of an old
school zombie doesn’t cut it anymore, so besides the deep and
cavernous cookie monster growl of Darren Moore we occasionally
get clean singing. Sometimes it is deep and placed way in the
back, like you are hallucinating and are only thinking that you
are hearing it, which is quite the nice and thoughtful touch if
you ask me. Also, as doom has redefined the concept of an EP,
A Disease for the Ages has only five songs but don’t be a
bitch complaining about its price. It totals over fifty-five
minutes of music. That’s more doom than most can handle at one
sitting.
