Love how the drummer steals the Opethian 6/4 clave at segments, much like Be'lakor's drummer does as well.. Lopez seems to be rubbing of on allot of young drummers. Can only help :P
Yeah it sounds a little like Opeth, at least to me. Specially the singer's voice (not the clean vocals ) hehe but it's awesome. Opeth is my nº 1 band and it's cool to see a little bit of them in this band.
I fail to see the Opeth comparison at all. The songwriting is of two different styles. In Mourning use 3 guitars, one to achieve a bottom, and a harmonized middle and top. Their melodies revolve around these harmonies. Opeth uses a more traditional guitar style, along with their dynamic changes between loud and soft, which these guys also do not do as prevalantly.
@myhigherpie2 Listen to Opeth's early albums. I think when the chuggier/more singular parts come in, it reminds me of Deliverance-era Opeth- BUT, the guitar harmony parts are oddly similar to Opeth's mid-90's output. Opeth was all about harmony and counterpoint back then. Also, if you ever listen to Edge of Sanity's Crimson, you might hear similarities there, too. Because there's three guitars recorded in spots. A middle, a left, and a right. All playing different things at times.
@ihavetourettesxx your a douchebag opeth is waaay better than this shit maybe its because you have tourettes that you can't appreciate opeth's clean, tight and beautiful sound, douchebag.
omg stop whining its called TAKING INFLUENCE from a band im a huge opeth fan they are my favorite, and these guys do remind me of them but only sometimes because they are taking influence and not just plagiarizing. it reminds me of alot of other stuff that that most likely took influence from as well.
The production is simmilar. The riffs are very different.
saying that similar production makes one band a rip off another is as retarded as saying beathoven rips off bach cause they both write music for symphoney orchestras.
I'll admit, the beginning sounds a hell of a lot like Opeth, but I think that's just to grab your attention. After about 3 minutes you can tell this isn't Opeth at all, and something entirely different and kick ass. I hadn't heard of these dudes before today, and man have I been missing out
One of the most beautiful Progressive Melodic Death Metal band i've ever listened to. I don't care if they sound like Opeth. They still are a very, very good band.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This band has potential, but this album only sounds like if they were making an accesible version of Opeth, it's obvious that they want to be like Opeth, they could be a great band, but if they just keep being a rip-off, I doubt they could be great, and it's not bad to show your influences, but there's a difference on being influenced by, and being a total rip-off.
@Uzukazu im sorry i dont agree with you at all. these guys are just the same genre as opeth its like saying megadeth is a rip off of metallica or norther is a rip off of children of bodom. i think this band is great and i like that they sound like opeth bc opeth is amazing. but yes they do sound like opeth im not arguing with that
One thing is being from the same genre, and other is being a rip-off, Metallica and Megadeth both are the same genre, but they sound different one from another, COB and Norther, well, I find Norther being kinda a rip-off of COB, and yeah, I agree that In Mourning is good, but they could be better if they didn't try so hard to sound and be like Opeth.
To me that is where your argument fails. Norther sound nothing like COB. This band is awesome, I do see the Opeth influence, but I can't see them being a rip off of Opeth
It's impossible not to compare Im Mourning to Opeth because the bands are so similar. Everything including drums, riffs and growling vocals are very similar, only the clean vocals are the big difference (and the fact that IM uses high pitched screams sometimes). This particular song is arguably more "Opethy" than others on the album, and while not being a bad thing per se, makes the band look like a cheap rip-off, which is sad cause the band is absolutely one of the best newcomers to the genre.
I don't think it really matters. Their style sure is an adopted rip-off of Opeth, but as long as it is satisfyingly good music, I can live with it. It's not like they've covered an entire Opeth album. ^^"
i read the comments before listening and grew tired of the comparisons to the mighty opeth, but upon listening the styles are very similar. lets face it though-no band on this level is "better" than another for its all just artistic expression relative to the listeners taste. great band !
i 100% non-agree!! ..the whole "musical taste" is about what you are used to hear and it was made for children not to fight couse of music!! you recognize good music by its musicality(soul/creativy/melody/technicality .ect)
Yes it might be there are some similarities to Opeth, on the other hand I think there is no real comparison possible. The styles of music just differ too much.
i like this band better than opeth...dont gotta sit through 10 minute songs to get enjoyment.. the only thing opeth got under their belt for me to enjoy all the way through is bleak
I'd even say it's completely impossible... what might seem like the greatest bs to someone might be the revelation of music to another. I, though, consider both opeth AND in mourning superior bands in their own right. and, the drums on this song are beyond words :)
i'm tempted to agree. musically these guys are pretty good...in the ballpark with opeth at least. however, tobias simply can't compete with mikael vocally. if they ever mix up the vocals a bit then they may very well compare with the (for now) incomparable OPETH!!!
good music. this is my favorite genre.
