Guest review by
VIG December 01, 2017
...and it was actually very good! The band is known as Mournspire, here with Liminals Of Profound Loss. The music is excellently produced. I don't listen to a lot of death doom with this kind of production, but I really liked it. This being a death/doom project, the vocals feature both longing cleans and deep growling. Their sound reminds me of that of Draconian quite a bit. I would assume they were a very big influence on the band. In fact, sometimes I feels like I am listening to Draconian when I am listening to songs like "Infamy Of Blackened Crowns".
If you know me, you will know that doom and death are some of my favorite genres, so I knew I would enjoy this to some extent no matter what when I heard about it from a member of the band here on Metal Storm. I expected it to be decent at best, but, I was sort of blown away by how well it was executed and made. There are some keyboards, which can drive some people insane, but I am sort of indifferent towards them. In this case, I must say I didn't really like them. But they have become a big part of a lot of doom bands, so I get why they were used.
Their Bandcamp states "Mournspire was sought as an environment to write, perform, and grow upon our favorite aspects of doom metal.", and I think they accomplished this. I can tell they put a lot of work into this, and they do deserve some recognition for it. This came out great, and I see myself re-visiting it time and time again. Hopefully they will be able to release more good music in the future.
Stream "The Truest of Lamentations" over here.
(P.S. Big thanks to ScreamingSteelUS for making this happen and congratulations to Carrion Misery on the new album!)

Thanks for the review, man. I'm glad you like the album. We wrote it in a way so that you'll hear something new every time you listen \m/ We'll definitely pump more albums out. And we'll be sure to add extra keyboard next time haha

VIG, for the next album, I'm going to write the intro completely only with keys, in your honor.  But no, seriously, thanks for taking the time to review our album. I hope you hear new things every time. There are several parts that surprised me after everything was finished. I'd timestamp them but that takes the fun out of it. I just hope people enjoy it.  Like Drew (Carrion) said, there is plenty more to come. Thanks again and thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen. Feedback is always welcome and we hope you find something in the music that means something to you.

Account deleted Written by nikarg on 04.12.2017 at 23:44 I wouldn't even call 41 old honestly. 50 is probably where I'd say old starts, but everyone feels old, and that's just me who thinks that way. [On-topic] Carrion gave me some tips for my next review, so I hope they put out another album soon so I can tackle that one next, although I think I'm going to finally review #SpectralVoice [/On-topic]

I enjoyed it and I also like the keys Keep up the good work guys!2) I'm very interested to hear what you have to say about #SpectralVoice. After all, it was your persistent spamming  that made Mr Doctor add them to the database  [/On-topic]
