The Immortal - CD

Swedish melodic death metal masters In Mourning deliver their most emotionally profound statement yet with The Immortal, a haunting seventh album that weaves two decades of melodic mastery with deep philosophical contemplation. The Dalecarlian quartet channels its signature blend of crushing heaviness and melancholic beauty through nine atmospheric metal tracks that explore the complex landscape of mortality, drawing on themes of existential reflection through seasonal metaphors and the eternal cycles of nature. This is melodic death metal at its most emotionally resonant and atmospherically rich.

Meticulously engineered at the renowned Fascination Street Studios, 'The Immortal' boasts stunning sonic depth while preserving the raw emotional intensity that defines the band's sound. The compelling interplay between Björn Pettersson's powerful growls and Tobias Netzell's soaring clean vocals creates a dynamic emotional journey that amplifies the melancholic core of the album. Tim Nedergård's intricate guitar work weaves complex melodic tapestries through layers of atmospheric density, while Corny Althammer's precise rhythmic foundation, courtesy of his work with Ahab, drives each composition through contemplative territories. The band describes the atmosphere as 'a cold wind blowing throughout the whole record with a slight touch of black metal' – a chilling sonic landscape that perfectly encapsulates the album's themes of mortality and transcendence. The evocative artwork embodies the essence of seasonal transformation and eternal cycles, serving as a visual gateway into the album's philosophical depths and melancholic majesty.
