As Adelaide, South Australia-based
Funeral doom masters,
Mournful Congregation, prepare to make their
Return to the United States for their first-ever East Coast performances in support of their two-song Concrescence Of The
Sophia 12" release, today the entire record is now playing via Stereogum.
Set for official release next Tuesday,
June 24th via 20 Buck Spin -- the label also responsible for the band's most recent LP, The Book Of Kings, and subsequent reissues of their back-catalog -- Concrescence Of The
Sophia leaves an impressive, lasting first impression, with nearly a half hour of brand new material which expands upon Mournful Congregation's massive foundation of sound. The article accompanying the
Stream of this new opus commends the
Power of the new material, stating, "At
Two songs and roughly 30 minutes, Concrescence Of The
Sophia is a decidedly brief work for
Mournful Congregation (by contrast, The Book Of Kings is four songs, nearly 77 minutes long). But it's impossible not to be awed by the
Power and dexterity displayed throughout the EP, especially on the 21:42 title track, which is as still and dark as
The Ocean Floor - and as magisterial and mysterious, too."

Serenade of Concrescence Of The
Sophia at Stereogum
RIGHT HERE.
Directly in conjunction with the release of Concrescence Of The
Sophia Mournful Congregation will
Return to American
