The Morningside are four guys from Russia, started in 2006 with The Morningside. In 2007 their debut album is released named "The Wind, The Trees And The Shadows Of The Past" a conceptual album about all shades of autumn, filled by light grief and a melancholy.
The album has it roots in melancholic doom metal with a dark atmosphere. The Morningside also adds influence from black metal in the desperate and demonic vocals. Mostly it is instrumental with great atmosphere in long duration songs. But the length of the songs are no problem as the emotion in the songs is well balanced and gently flows like a peaceful river.

The band refers to bands like Katatonia and Opeth and in this corner you have to put them. Nice debut album for a long and lonely evening.
