The monad of creation is an absolutely introverted album for self-absorbed loners. I can listen to this material endlessly.

помню, не каждый фунераломан их осиливал. дичайше заебывали своим однообразием, которое обретало чудовищные формы вкупе с их хронометражным занудством (медленные полчаса однообразнх грузных риффов в одном треке - это развод), не дававшим оценить сонграйтинг. что-то более-менее внятное по мелодике изображала их соло-гитара, - ах, обладай они лаконичностью colosseum, было бы даже цепляюще.

Corona isolation made me appreciate this band more and more. I don't know what it is, but this band just completely clicked with me in these past months. Their melodies and riffs are so good, it's insane. Seriously. Their songs almost always end up in these ear-wormish parts that will just stay with you for days after listening. Can't wait for a new record.

i've made simlar experiences. it's not limited to this band in particular for me, though. whole genre clicked a little more. i find i enjoy listening to loss, oak, atramentus, bell witch, convocation and jupiterian a lot these days than i remember doing a while ago. i know not all of those are exactly funeral doom, but still.

Yes, I agree. Funeral Doom really has the time to shine right now. Love the bands you mentioned, especially Bell Witch and Loss. Oak and Atramentus are great bands, too. But I always feel like Mournful Congregation is "more" than than the other bands, it's hard to describe. Also I can recommend the latest Lone Wanderer record, which has some Mournful vibes in it.

Cheers for the tip, thanks to you I'm now checking out Lone Wanderer for the first time and there's a very strong resemblance to MC. Cheers!

One of the very few metal bands truly able to encapsulate the beauty and the mystic that underlies melancholy and depression. I feel that their later albums, after The June Frost, do not have the same level of magic in them though. Maybe I should give them more time and listens. If you get the opportunity to attend one of their gig, don't miss it, you're in for a treat.

The Incubus of Karma LP is great. Very lucky to have seen one of their rare (their only??) UK shows - top top band live. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I feel different now though. After a few more listens, I have to say they've been growing on me a lot.

How do they do it? They are just gods, real musical gods. I literally fly into space!

Однозначно, лучшая группа в фьюнерале и самая талантливая по написанию сложных, многослойных произведений. Где-то за 9 лет серьёзного прослушивания дума лучше команды так и не нашел.

The Monad of Creation is an incredible album, one of my favorites. Deeply majestic and contemplative.

They still haven't topped it, for me at least, as far as composition goes. There's a distinct sense of narrative and a unique atmosphere of entering a dead, timelocked world where structures are majestic and solemn but overgrown with vines and moss on TMoC. The riffs are reflective yet with a clear direction and progression. Later albums are a little too wallowing, fragmented or meandering without a purpose in some cases - and less restrained in the use of the vocals. Still enjoy all their work, but The Monad of Creation is their crown jewel.

Indeed, their later works never managed to bring me to such heights as The Monad of Creation does. As far as I'm concerned, everything you wrote is true

New Mournful Congregation EPs "Concrescence Of The Sophia" - great work with beauty and atmospheric guitar work like early The 3rd and the mortal. It's my favorit doom metal bands and albums, 3 guitar lines is a good idea for nature atmosphere and aparty sound. Mournful Congregation fucking best band in funeral doom metal

The new EP sounds like a cross between The Book of Kings and The Monad of Creation. That, of course, means it is fucking stellar. [2]

Tears From a Grieving Heart is where it's at. Can't believe it has the least listeners out of all their full-lengths. Definitely their best if you ask me, The Monad of Creation comes pretty damn close but just not quite.
