There are many musicians out there. Some who have been in one project, some who have gone from project to project, then there is Cornelius Althammer, who has decided he wants to be in allllll the projects, AT THE SAME TIME! I met Corny through my interview with him for AHAB, a doom metal band from Germany. Hammer gave me a surprise when I realized he was in four bands, one called In Mourning, which is the band we decided to discuss this recent interview, since they just released an album titled The Immortal.
In Mourning is a melodic death metal band from Sweden with members: Tobias Netzell (vocals, guitar), Bjorn Petterson (guitar), Tim Nedergard (guitar), and Cornelius Althammer (drums). The album The Immortal is a beautiful representation of melodeath and will take you on a journey that feels cerebral and emotional. It goes from the traditional melodic death like tracks “Silver Crescent” and “As Long as the Twilight Stays” to a softer side like the songs “Moonless Sky” and “North Star”. The breathtaking transitions are effortless and soulful. This album gives me all the feels and is very much worth checking out. Plus the artwork is stunning!
Corny was kind enough to sit down with Metal Nation once again and discuss In Mourning, The Immortal, and what all he has going on. (If you are viewing from your phone, please scroll to the bottom and click “View Desktop Version” to gain interview and video access).
