Taken from "Smouldering Into Dust", out in Fall 2022 via Ardua Music.
Mournument started activities in 2021 after Niklas (Deveneror, ÆRA, Forestfather, Flesh Configuration) and A.P. (Sol Sistere, Concatenatus, The Ancient Doom) met and discussed the creation of a new artistic vessel, considering some musical styles that has not been well explored in their home country Chile, taking aspects of the deepest and most emotional tunes of traditional Chilean folklore, combined with a melancholic Doom Metal approach. After a few months of hard work, a full length album was created, and the experienced drummer C. Krono (Favna Abisal, The Ancient Doom) was recruited to complete the band’s line up.
Mournument will not hesitate in showing stark influences from fellow countrymen Uaral while embracing the melancholy of Agalloch together with the folk spirit of Empyrium. "On Rain and Thunder" is just a first approach for what is to come in their full length "Smouldering Into Dust".

LYRICS
Arise the mountains of virtue
The eternal rest of old giants barren by centuries
Once serpents creating it all - awaiting the final damnation
On rain and thunder
My decadent soul begs for a new blossom
After the autumn’s equinox withered the inner self
By taking the heat away
By taking the heat away
Threw the stone in my heart
Unto the crystal clear water up in the almost frozen lake
The journey stripped away the shell of my existence passing through the hard path
So high and cold, striking the limits of our will
Under a glacial sleep we’ll end the lashes of dust and time
Perpetual is the patience, be calm and feel
We have deprived ourselves from the magic now lost
Lone wanderers in our own world
The sun was covered with a finger
Just before we accepted our earthly death
On rain and thunder
My decadent soul begs for a new blossom
After the autumn’s equinox withered the inner self
By taking the heat away
By taking the heat away
