# MOURNER

The long awaited debut demo by the Danish band MOURNER is out! I was looking very forward to hear it and it didn't disappoint me at all. The sound is unbelievable good (thanx to Morten). If I didn't know it was a demo tape I would've thought it was a record! The drumsound is what you call unfuckingleivable and so are the guitar and vocals and I could go on. They comes from the same city as DESEXULT but luckily they don't seem to be influenced by DESEXULT. The line-up is: Andreas-bass, Dimse-drums, Palle-guitar and the singer from DESEXULT called Steen-vocals. The demo is called 'Welcome To My House' and it contains 4 very special and unique thrash-jazz-blues-rock-death-crossover-classical tracks! Confused ?? You won't be after buying their demo.
The first track is a quite speedy one. Palle is doing a great classical intro and they are of course very tight. The track continues in a very strange style: Sometimes fast, sometimes jazzy etc.
The intro on the next track is the theme from the famous MUPPET SHOW!!? It isn't as fast as the first track but it's still very weird. Don't get me wrong their style is new and unique! No other band is playing like MOURNER. The two final trax are great but not as weird as the two first. My favorite of the four songs must be the third because it's the fastest but the other has a lot more musicianship to offer.

Rumours says that Steen is out of MOURNER. I can't say if it's true but we can only hope the best for them. When you're going to hear this demo you can have it for 35, 8,10 DM or 40 dkr. Yeah, we know it's cheap but we can assure you that it is worth it!

Debut Demo Release: Welcome to My House by MOURNER

# MOURNER

It seems like Denmark comes up with new Hardcore/Thrash bands every day. Not all are shit, like this... Nah. Just kidding, Mourner is a new hope from the dark-Denmark, Jylland. They always called themselves Mourner, and the line-up is also the same, as it was in the start. I talked to their singer Steen, and got this little interview. By the way the line-up is:

- Steen - vocals
- Andreas - bass
- Dimse - drums
- Palle - guitar

Well why don't we just jump into it.

When did you start?
- We started playing about 2 years ago. But then we had a lot of problems, with a broken finger, and things like that, which kept us away from rehearsing.

Who started the band?
- It was Palle, Andreas, and me who started the band, then we got hold of Dimse a few months later.

What do your lyrics deal with?
- Shit that's tuff, I think, well things like pictures, most of it.

No, we don't deal with shit like that, I don't think we even have a single word about him in our lyrics.

How many times have you played live?
- Only 2 times. We would have played 2 other times but it got delayed all the time.

What's your inspirations?
- Tuff one again. We are influenced by a lot of things. It goes from Slayer, to Malmsteen.

How much do you rehearse?
- 2 times a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.

What is your main aim?
- Well, if we look at it short, then we would very much go for a studio, in the near future, and record a proper demo. Then cause we would like a first demo which that is very difficult with the first demo, you know. Then we would also like to come out and play live, and not just in Denmark.

Any last words/something to add.
- Well I don't know, Andreas, and myself are playing in DesExult now, and we don't have any plans leaving one of the bands that must be the new thing. Then, off cause good buy out your mags, and buy our demo when it is released. Yeah, the last time we got a rehearsal spec you can get for only 20 Dkr. That's cheap. Yeah, that is cheap, so then you write to this right now on this address:

Mourner:

Look out for more Mourner in next issue. Until we meet again. Stay thrash
