Metempsychosis [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

It sounds like METEMPSYCHOSIS, which later became MOURNFUL, had quite an interesting journey and evolution as a band. Starting in Tyresö outside of Stockholm in 1992, the band was a collaboration between Toni Kocmut, Dennis Ekdahl, and the brothers Marco and Joy Deb. Their early work, including the demo recorded at Sheep Valley Studios, set the stage for their evolving sound and identity. After the transition to the name MOURNFUL and the release of another demo, the band eventually split, leading the members to pursue different paths in the music industry. Dennis Ekdahl and Toni Kocmut moved on to join SINS OF OMISSION, while the Deb brothers shifted focus to music production and songwriting. This led to varied and successful careers for the members, particularly Joy Deb, who went on to co-write the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest-winning song "Heroes." The re-recording of METEMPSYCHOSIS tracks as a surprise for Dennis' bachelor party is a touching tribute to their beginnings, capturing the essence of their early work and their passion for metal. The decision to release these recordings as a homage to new and struggling metal bands worldwide is a meaningful way to honor their roots and give back to the community that supported them. This release not only commemorates the band's history but also serves as an inspiration for upcoming musicians, showing how the journey from a small band to influential careers in the music industry can unfold.
