Encased In Crystalline

On their debut full-length, 'A Reminder of the Wound Unhealed', Canadian act A Mourning Star delivers a form of polished but frantic metalcore that draws from late '90s pioneers of the genre. The band combines complex, goth-infused melodies and bouncy guitar riffs with jagged screams and powerful breakdowns. Lyrically, the album serves as a visceral exploration of personal healing, grappling with themes of PTSD, regret, and the long-term process of coping with pain.
