Fourth album, produced by Francis Caste. Red Mourning was born in Paris (France) in 2003, when pure luck brought four unlikely metalheads together. They quickly realized they saw music the same way. Whatever they played was going to be sincere, innovative, and most of all, a way to let the accumulated trauma of their lives explode on stage. Each band-member brings his own personal influences to the mix: hardcore punk, Chicago blues, grunge, old- and new-school death metal. The result is a sound that is unique in today's metal scene. Red Mourning chose Francis Caste, France's N°1 metal-expert, to handle the record's production. The sound itself is best described as "moist", and gives the tracks an oppressive and organic feel. The songs themselves combine groove with violence. The rhythmic foundation is technical without being pretentious. On top of that comes a big fat layer of aggressive and sometimes discordant riffing. Then, the distinctive vocals, with hardcore screams and vocal melodies often backed two, three, or even four times. Naturally, the Red Mourning sound wouldn't be complete without a few sharp guitar solos, and some wailing Blues harp. While very unusual in a metal context, the harmonica seems like an obvious choice here
