"Garden Of Storms" is In Mourning's fifth studio album and last part of the trilogy started with "The Weight Of Oceans" (2012) and followed by "Afterglow" (2016). In 2018, the band's line-up went through a change; drummer Daniel Liljekvist (ex-Katatonia) was replaced by Joakim Strandberg Nilsson and bassist Sebastian Svalland filled in for Pierre Stam (ex-October Tide). Together with founding member, guitarist and vocalist Tobias Netzell, as well as guitarists Björn Pettersson and Tim Nedergård, they recorded "Garden Of Storms" between March and May 2019 at two different, Swedish studios - Black Lounge (drums & bass) and Beckasinen (guitars, vocals and keyboards). Jonas Kjellgren took care of mixing and mastering. "Garden Of Storms" features seven new tracks replete with artwork from Kristian Wåhlin (Bathory, At The Gates, King Diamond)…
Hailed by many as the heir to Opeth's melodeath throne, In Mourning was formed in the Swedish woods in the year 2000. Since then the band has evolved over the years, striving to refine its sound to what it is today. Musically, the group blends a broad spectrum of influences into a foundation of melodic death metal. Thrusting from doomy metal-riffs, blasting drumbeats and deep growling vocals to calm breezes of clean flowing melodies and harmonies.
"The Weight of Oceans" is their third studio album.
Casualties of Cool is a project by prolific musician/producer Devin Townsend, who handles vocals, guitars, bass, and keyboards on the album, and Ché Aimee Dorval who handles vocals, and guitars. The duo is helped out by a varity of session musicians.
With Casualties of Cool, Devin Townsend's experimentation with ambient grooves, ghostly beauty, mellow compositions, and mature instrumental performances has reached a grand new height. We heard it as a diversion on Ki, in the empty spaces on Ghost, and sprinkled through out other albums - but Casualties of Cool absolutely sends chills up the spine with elegant class. Not only is it Devin's best "quite" album, it's one of his best albums…
