The Story of Mourner’s Lantern
Mourner’s Lantern is the first of a two-album requiem, a sonic elegy set in a world where grief walks beside the living and every candle burns with memory. Conceived in velvet shadows and forged with metal’s fire, the album follows the footsteps of a lone mourner—her lantern aglow—as she crosses forgotten lands haunted by loss, memory, and unfinished love.
With soaring violins, doom-laden guitars, harpsichords, and layered voices—both weeping and howling—it explores sorrow in all its forms. The songs move from delicate lamentations to thunderous climaxes, mirroring the journey of the heart through ruin and ritual.
“Each song is a grave, each lyric a flower, each note a ghost.”
What Comes Next: Thorns Upon the Crown
The companion album, Thorns Upon the Crown, will rise in 2025. It is the answer to the lament—a reckoning. Where Mourner’s Lantern mourns what was lost, Thorns confronts what remains. It brings fire to sorrow and crown to suffering.
Heavier. Louder. But no less poetic.
It will tell of the crown worn by those who survive grief—not in pride, but in defiance. A symbol of enduring love, blood-forged memory, and the thorns we carry when healing becomes resistance.
Together, the Two Are One Story
Mourner’s Lantern is the descent. Thorns Upon the Crown is the rising scream. Played together, they tell a complete tale—a symphony of love surviving ruin. A gothic metal requiem split across two lanterns: one for the dead, one for the defiant.
This is only the beginning.
