Mourning was formed in June of 2004 with members of
past bands coming together with the same vision; artists
wanting their passion and love for music to be shared
on a universal scale. Brought to the label’s
attention by legendary producers Tom and Jim Morris,
who have worked with everyone from Marilyn Manson
to Puff Daddy to Sepultura to Ozzy Osbourne to Public
Enemy, PHOENIX MOURNING’s thirteen-song debut
oozes with track after track of spot on metal/screamo
arena worthy anthems of youthful angst and personal
discovery. Rarely does a debut album showcase the
characteristics usually associated with seasoned recording
and touring acts. PHOENIX MOURNING’s Metal Blade
Records debut, “When Excuses Become Antiques”
is the exception to that rule. Creating music that
thrives on the emotions that ultimately speak as a
novel to their lives, the members of PHOENIX MOURNING
have been blessed with the ability to share their
personal stories through well crafted and expertly
performed songs. Album standouts include “A
New Décor”, “From Afar” and
“Waiting for the King”. Destined to be
one of the breakthrough releases of 2006, PHOENIX
MOURNING has already become a “friends”
favorite on MYSPACE and PURVOLUME, where, in a very
short amount of time, the band continues to cultivate
supporters at an alarming rate!
With
touring in the near future, PHOENIX MOURNING looks
forward to coming to each and every city and meeting
new people on the road daily. The band absolutely
thrives on an intense live show that promises fans
to be something to always remember. "Nothing
else compares to the feeling of taking the stage and
bringing this ‘story’ you have written
for people in the form of music, directly into their
lives. When you have connected with a crowd and have
had an amazing show, its pretty much an unbeatable
feeling” states lead man Jeremiah Ruff.
