Genre : Melodic Doom Death

Country : Russia

This is the second album from 'The Morningside'. They play Doom Death with melodic Riffs, awesome melodies, acoustic passages, great atmosphere, and semi-screamed vocals. Not confuse this album with the Demo released in March 2009, many of these songs have different playing time.
