The first primarily Doom-focused release since "The Last Noel."
There has been some experimentation and flirtations with Doom Metal (and other styles) on many Rotting Serpent albums even going back to the very first recording Seduced by the Ghosts of Rotting Serpents (see track "The Midnight Blood Dripping from the Moon" clocking in at 17min. give or take). This being primarily due to my earliest extreme metal roots being in the Death/Doom style.
It was because of this experimentation with Doom-Metal that I did not finally release these albums under a different project name, as was my first thought. I figured that, since Rotting Serpent wasn't new to Doom territory, and with the added benefit of having released The Last Noel anyway last Christmas, it just made sense to shift the project in that direction. It wouldn't hurt anything at all.
Breathless Mourning wasn't first conceptualized to be the "part one" of any series of albums, and it's only by noteworthy coincidence that it's predecessor Christian Funeral seems to be it's obvious companion. In fact, I only realized just how similar they were, and how well they fit together, after listening to them both back-to-back. All this is to say that, this wasn't intended as any "double-album" in two separate releases, but that's how it turned out and I'm cool with it.

Unofficially, the companion to the album Breathless Mourning.
The song "Suffer Inside A Shallow Grave" was written back in 2005, after which it became a favorite practice piece for An Hero and afterwards for the extremely short-lived (but entirely awesome) Mourning Woods. In all that time it was only recorded thricely (no u), and until now only once by myself (very badly).
I like to think this version sounds better, although it has been done in a Doom version (which I guess doesn't mean much except that there is no screaming this time around).
Includes a demo track ("Dreams of Dead Snakes") from the Breathless Mourning sessions, another reason why they fit together so well I guess.
Enjoy them both, all, or none. I don't care.
Jesus is alive, well, and soon to return, that's all that really matters.
Everything else is just details.

PRESENTO ESTA BANDA DE UNBLACK METAL CANADIENSE QUE SURGIO EN 2003 Y HE AQUI ESTAN PARTE DE 4 EP LANZADOS
""" Rotting Serpent was created in 2003 as an "Unblack Metal" project by Michael Mosher under the pseudonym "Bloodbath." They define their music as "Suicidal" Unblack Metal, citing the scripture from Collossians 3:5, which calls for believers to "mortify" their carnal impulses with regards to their spiritual journey. The band uses a parody of the Rotting Christ logo (a band which Michael openly admires), as being reminiscent of 'old-school' Christian 'Black' Metal bands such as Horde, whose logo is said to be a parody of Darkthrone.
