May We Never Forget Her Face..

Good News! 

 A new album from Mourning Hours is on its way. 'May We Never Forget Her Face' will be the second album-length creation by this project and already shows signs of raising the quality bar higher than ever before. 

One of the things I like most about this project is the determination to carry on releasing lengthy releases and to push forward despite the difficulties faced by all non-mainstream artists, it should be an inspiration to all bands.

Here is the latest teaser video featuring the album track 'Fallen Leaves'..

I hope you will join me in looking forward to hearing the finished product!

Mourning Hours release date and teaser!

The new Mourning Hours full-length, self-produced album will be released on October 11th 2013!

Selfless Within is here!

The time has come! The new album by Mourning Hours has finally arrived and is available to buy right now on our bandcamp page, check it out here -

We're back .. and we're bringing a new album with us!

Once again, Three Rooks has stirred from it's death-like slumber, and once again our musicians have been very busy behind the scenes, crafting something new and intriguing.

Back in August 2012, the project known as Mourning Hours, impressed us with the debut track
'Us & Despair', followed in September by the first self-produced full length 'A Journey From Here To Nothingness' which we released digitally.

Now, Mourning Hours is on the verge of bringing us a second full-length album, entitled 'Selfless Within'.
With recording and final mixing of the album complete, we will be handling the mastering in-house, bringing you both a digital and CDR version of Mourning Hour's most ambitious musical work yet. Check out this clip of  'Hatefornication', and you will get a taste of the new direction in which this project has evolved ..

Mourning Hours, new album progress.

A new album by Mourning Hours is on the way. As it looks right now, the new release will be 7-8 tracks in length and if progress continues at the current rate, will be ready in a few months time! We are already talking about how we are going to release this work, most likely as a limited run CD, possibly a download version too. If the two songs from Tribune of Shadow are anything to go by, it will sound better than ever, with interesting synth elements and harder-hitting drums, expect doomy, heavy guitars too.

The week it all kicks off!

This week is something of a momentous occasion for our label, as we take our first steps towards releasing music as it should be released - in physical form, albeit on a fittingly underground scale ..

On Wednesday 30th January, the Three Rooks Records online shop will open. With just one item to sell so far (Miseria Visage's debut EP), we are hoping to grow the shop in the coming months with more CD releases, and possibly some other merch items such as t-shirts etc.

Fans of Miseria Visage should certainly check out this interesting and thorough review from Sorrow Eternal.

Also, Mourning Hours is currently working on a new album, so hopefully we will be doing a physical release of this too, later in 2013.
