Sweden's MOURNING SIGN has made a notable return with their newest release titled "Contra Mundum". This band defies genre limitations while upholding the essential principles that define authentic metal. The album is melodically rich in concept and exhibits technical precision in its execution, delivering a powerful impact. Although categorized as progressive metal, the sound leans more towards doom/death with progressive nuances. The guitar riffs blend elements of power and doom, infused with a distinctly death metal ethos.
