Chilean Doom Metal project. What a find & thanks to Nuno for making it show in my feed. I am very excited & looking forward to the rest of the album! Highly recommended!
Bertrand Marchal
Out of the blue, this Chilean project comes and offers an outstanding song. It is remarkable how they manage to pack in so little time so rich a composition that looks upwards, to the brighter, vaster fields of death doom. Its glorious energy is invigorating.

about
Taken from "Smouldering Into Dust", out in Fall 2022 via Ardua Music.
Mournument started activities in 2021 after Niklas (Deveneror, ÆRA, Forestfather, Flesh Configuration) and A.P. (Sol Sistere, Concatenatus, The Ancient Doom) met and discussed the creation of a new artistic vessel, considering some musical styles that has not been well explored in their home country Chile, taking aspects of the deepest and most emotional tunes of traditional Chilean folklore, combined with a melancholic Doom Metal approach. After a few months of hard work, a full length album was created, and the experienced drummer C. Krono (Favna Abisal, The Ancient Doom) was recruited to complete the band’s line up.
Mournument will not hesitate in showing stark influences from fellow countrymen Uaral while embracing the melancholy of Agalloch together with the folk spirit of Empyrium. "On Rain and Thunder" is just a first approach for what is to come in their full length "Smouldering Into Dust".
lyrics
Arise the mountains of virtue
The eternal rest of old giants barren by centuries
Once serpents creating it all - awaiting the final damnation
On rain and thunder
My decadent soul begs for a new blossom
After the autumn’s equinox withered the inner self
By taking the heat away
By taking the heat away
Threw the stone in my heart
Unto the crystal clear water up in the almost frozen lake
The journey stripped away the shell of my existence passing through the hard path
So high and cold, striking the limits of our will
Under a glacial sleep we’ll end the lashes of dust and time
Perpetual is the patience, be calm and feel
We have deprived ourselves from the magic now lost
Lone wanderers in our own world
The sun was covered with a finger
Just before we accepted our earthly death
On rain and thunder
My decadent soul begs for a new blossom
After the autumn’s equinox withered the inner self
By taking the heat away
By taking the heat away

I like it because it bears all the familiar trademarks of the band, because I hold Saturnus in great esteem, because there are no two singers like him and because, like anyone else. they keep writing those beautiful, tranquil, colourful songs in which I let me drift in delight. Bertrand Marchal

Este para mi fue sin duda uno de los mejores lanzamientos del 2021, gran trabajo de Rise To The Sky, death doom atmosférico que desde el primer momento que lo escuchas te envuelve en ese ambiente de tristeza y dolor, melodías cargadas de emotividad que te llegan a lo mas profundo, me encanta cuando la música logra hacerte sentir lo que siente el artista, melancolía pura y perfección en cada canción.

A blackened doom concept record about the very real problem of amphibian extinction, “Croak” is a punishing, essential listen. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 23, 2022
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
