My Shining One is a hardcore scenester's dream come true, boasting members of Nora, Fortheloveof, Ensign, Ex Number Five, and Try.Fail.Try. Incorporating influences of metal and hardcore with layered strands of indie rock, My Shining One have created a sound that blazes a new path outside of conventional hard rock cliches. Just take a listen, we dare you not to rely on their heavy riffing to carry you through your next anxiety attack. This band has only just begun to lay the groundwork for a new and influential cross pollination of heavy music. Enter Manchester's melodic powerhouse Son Of The Mourning to carry the weight of the second half of this split, and you are entering a new dimension of screamo-type hardcore. This genre may have become very popular with the breakthrough of Thursday, Boysetsfire, Funeral For a Friend, etc...but has it ever been sung with such power and conviction? Harder, darker, dirtier, and with just as much emotional impact as the aformentioned success stories, Son Of The Mourning will envelop you in their twisted yet beautiful sound.
