French blackened doom band Mourning Dawn has announced its sixth full-length, The Foam Of Despair, will come out on 12 January 2024 via Aesthetic Death (Digi CD and gatefold vinyl, the latter co-released with Tragedy Productions). The band has shared the first single/video, "Blue Pain", which awaits you in the player below.
This new album has all the benchmark qualities of Mourning Dawn - the blackened doom pacing, the anguished vocals and the captivating songwriting - but with any great album, there needs to be a creative alchemy, the "je ne sais quoi" that brings everything together. The Foam Of Despair certainly has that, with this new material elevated beyond that heard before from this now-established line-up.
The Foam Of Despair takes its blackened depressive doomed music to new levels - with the freedom to explore new territories and industrial overtones - and solidifies its position as one of the most important bands of the genre.
Most of all, The Foam Of Despair feels like a whole - there's a new confidence and comfort in its creativity - reflecting on its journey, really being at one with despair and evolution. Link
