MOURNING RISE formed in the summer of 2006 with band members of different musical tastes and styles that were driven but the idea of constant grief with a an invigorating element: a counterpoint made of black humour, critical questions and cynical irony.
Five Ways To Illuminate Silence includes 5 songs that represent the crosscurrent tastes of every musician that is involved in this project. Death Metal, Funk, acoustic Pop, Rock, Heavy Metal are some of the music genres I could distinguish from the first audition of this album. Of course I couldn't make it through a second audition because these salad of music isn't something I can stand. Maybe that is way the Five Ways To Illuminate Silence has only 24 minutes playtime and includes an awesome CD booklet, well designed with clever humoristic lyrics.
Honestly I can't make a review about a band that is undecided about its music style. On the other hand, if you like the all-music-styles-in-one packages give in to MOURNING RISE. They can give you what you need.
