There’s a site I found a few years back called MetalStorm, and every year they take user suggestions in various categories for “best of” awards, which are then voted on by the users. In the first few months of the new year, results go up, and I find lots of great new music. It’s a great system!

In Mourning is one of the bands I found there after their first album, Shrouded Divine, came up as number 11 on the top 20 for 2008. I feel like their second album, Monolith, was on a genre-related best of list, as well, but can’t seem to find it. Anyway, I liked Monolith enough to very seriously consider buying it, which is something I never do. I mean, I own three CDs.

Listening to the first song from Monolith today, I decided it was high time these guys got their own post. So here it is! The song’s called For You To Know, and the lyrics are here, although if you listen to the song you’ll probably realize I didn’t catch most of it. So don’t read too much into it! Just enjoy the sweet, sweet sound of metal.
