2008 - The Frankness Eve
True Metal
(may 2008)
Mournful Gust is a doom metal band, existing since 1999. "The Frankness Eve" is the second album from the band which was released in CD format. The very first record "She's My Grief" was available only in MC format in 2000. Before that some of the band members were part of the well known russian sympho-black band Vae Solis, but after leaving this project Mournful Gust was born following much more melodic, slower and doom-like metal style.Musicians' choise to join doom metal was surely the right decision because it is worth to listen to their creations - this music is beautiful in all means. Perfectly made depressing atmosphere, different kinds of riffs, which are tied together with acustic changes, stressed solos, supplying keyboards - this wonderful composition is what Mournful Gust new album gives. One can find some elements of folk, which makes the whole thing even more unique. I suggest this album to everyone who likes melancholy and endless melodic suites. It is worth to hang on to this atmosphere.
