Their catalog spans four releases — from the debut Unbroken Solemnity (2008) through We All Be Given (2017), released on Hammerheart Records, to A Grey Farewell (2024) — a nearly 65-minute album of crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and atmospheric synths.
Santa Rosa, California's Mournful Cries marry the crushing tempos of doom with the melodic vocabulary of traditional heavy metal, crafting songs that carry a brooding emotional weight alongside genuine riff craftsmanship.
Salt Lake City's Mournful Incarnation specialize in funeral doom of the bleakest kind — cavernous, nearly motionless compositions that stretch grief into something vast and suffocating, born from the silence of the Utah desert.
