More about 'The Weight Of Oceans'

"The Weight of Oceans" marks In Mourning's mythology-inspired conceptual story that journeys to the sea. Musically, the Swedish band blends a broad spectrum of influences into a foundation of melodic death metal, thrusting from doomy metal-riffs, blasting drumbeats and deep growling vocals to calm breezes of clean flowing melodies and harmonies. Originally released in 2012, this groundbreaking third album showcases the band's ability to craft epic compositions that seamlessly weave together crushing heaviness with breathtaking melodic passages. From the opening thunderous assault of "Colossus" to the haunting atmospheric journey of "Voyage of a Wandering Mind", each track serves as a chapter in an oceanic odyssey that explores themes of solitude, nature's power, and existential contemplation.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, Swedish deathmetallers In Mourning have slowly but surely created a wide fanbase across the world, delivering 6 top notch studio albums with over 10,000 sold copies. The remastered sound on this 2025 reissue brings new life to tracks like "A Vow to Conquer the Ocean" and "Celestial Tear", revealing layers of intricate guitar work and dynamic shifts that make this album an essential piece of modern melodic death metal. The band's progressive tendencies shine through in longer compositions, while maintaining the emotional weight that has become their signature.

Opeth, Katatonia, Be'lakor, Dark Tranquillity, and Insomnium
