The Morningside - The Wind, The Trees And The Shadows Of The Past

I hope in time this will receive more attention and acclaim since this is becoming one of my favorite melodic death doom records out there.. I can't stress enough, if you are a fan of the genre you need to listen to this, period.

Songs #3 The Trees and #4 The Shadows Of The Past are the highlights of the album, The Intro and Outro are as good as Intros and Outros can get and track #2 The Wind is very good but in my opinion not on par with the other two songs.

This sounds a lot like Death Doom metal era Katatonia, which is great in my opinion, sadly, their next albums are not as good as this one.

Classic doom, I know since beginning of times Russia has good doom bands(hate, football, politics, wp and so on make enemies) music is one of rare things in the world what unites people from different nations, cultures, places,
Good band, really 4 good tunes, classic doom riffs and more growly , vocals. Many will say Rus doom is overated (mayve Solitude productions plays some role ) but I disagree, great band and that country offers us good doom

Thumbs up, Bad English! Really politics is a pile of crap. What we're really here for is to enjoy the music and share our experiences.

As for the album, it's my favourite of The Morningside. I know that it has a lot of Katatonia's Brave Murder Day era vibes, but still, I believe, it has that little something that makes it both memorable and enjoyable. Their later records are more on a progressive side of things, which is also good as I'm a big prog music admirer.

Atmospheric and varied. I enjoyed this album a lot!
