The second long-awaited album from the leading Russian funeral doom metal band Comatose Vigil!
During more than five years since their EP “Narcosis” the band’s line-up several times have changed for various gigs, but finally they returned to the original one, in which was recorded the debut album, made the band famous: A.K. iEzor – vocals, drums; ViG’iLL – guitars, bass; ZiGR – keyboards. It’s in this classical line-up they have recorded their brand new album «Fuimus, Non Sumus…».
The recording was performed at Primordial Studio (Russia), also famous for work with Revelations of Rain, Who Dies In Siberian Slush, engineered by Hater & Stellarghost (from Abstract Spirit, Twilight Is Mine). Mixing & mastering was done by Greg Chandler (from Esoteric) at Priory Recording Studios (UK).
The CD contains three absolutely new compositions with total length of 75’35”! Comatose Vigil music became more mature, balanced and rich, certainly, continuing its cold, dark monumental tradition. Sounding noticeably transformed, in adding power, depth, and transparency, while a feeling for fine details become more well-marked, crowning a breathtaking material. This work can deservedly be considered one of the best examples of funeral doom metal in the world!
The album is issued as a noble limited edition digipack containing a booklet, and a hand-numbered inlay with band photo and musicians original signatures!

Tracklist:

1. Fuimus, Non Sumus…
2. Autophobia

New extraordinary work from a famous melancholic metal band from Moscow, The Morningside. As we were told by band members the idea of this release appeared quite a long time ago as the story behind “The Trees” song was longer than the song and now it has its final. TreeLogia was step by step gaining its present form and finally appeared as a tale. The listener could make a decision himself if this is a story of a man lost among the trees and permanently became one of them or a stort of man fleeing from something, perhaps, his past, who found the harmony or loneliness or… gone insane. Or is it a very different story? One of band member considers The Trees Part Three as a chronologic beginning of the story, not a final.
The second album title “The Album As It Is Not” also has some idea behind it as there is actually only one song at the album, despite of its diversity. Thus, The Morningside are ready to present their first CD-single which lasts for more that 50 minutes!
The CD is issued as a limited digipack including an inlay with band photo, individual copy number, and original signatures of band members.

Tracklist:

1. The Trees Part One
2. The Trees Part Two
3. The Trees Part Three – TreeLogia
