Mournument | A Funeral Poem (Official Lyric Video) | Doom Metal

Подробнее о видео

Taken from "Smouldering Into Dust", out November 4th 2022 via Ardua Music on CD/Digital.





As a second single from their debut album, Mournument presents "A Funeral Poem" which, by its words conveys the feeling of wanting to abandon everything when hope is over. This feeling of detachment from life itself forms part of those who live in melancholy and loneliness. This is reflected in the lyrics and is something which those who live in such agony will be able to identify with.

Mournument´s music is melancholy with elegantly adorned melodies which lulls the listener into a feeling of catharsis together with the funeral speech that the band presents to us.

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.

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 or Estatic Fear.

* A.P.: Vocals, lyrics

LYRICS

In the open fields I’m lost
The grass is wet on the tears all mourners wept
Melancholy transforms in regret
Beneath these somber figures that stare

Is that the light of dying star
Leading me out
To merge again with the firmament
Or just a memory

Like a black velvet the darkness enshrouded me
While shapeless shadows took my breath away
No scream can be heard
In hopelessness I drown
The fear overcomes my strength
In solitude I feel immersed
Pain surrounds me
As a hunter lies in wait

Is that the light of a dying star
Leading me out
To merge again with the firmament
Or just a memory

Saw no glimpse of joy
Was it my fate to live in eternal misfortune?
A prisoner jaded in the black tapestry
Of endless decaying emotions…
