Swedish heavy/doom metal solo project Mourning Scars releases a brand new single »Beyond Mortal Control«

Gothenburg, Sweden based heavy/doom metal solo project Mourning Scars by Richard Wilson has just released a brand new single »Beyond Mortal Control«. This is already the 9th track from the upcoming album.

Listen to »Beyond Mortal Control« on Spotify, Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms!

Richard Wilson comments: Hey bangers! I am leaving you with one last song before summer kicks in for real! When I started this endeavor in January this year, I didn’t expect much of anything would happen. I only had one song. Here I am in June with 9 finished songs, thousands of streams, many new awesome friends and I am about to put out an album in the fall! I will take the summer to write more songs and redo stuff and remix the old songs.

I won’t be too long winded but the last song »Beyond Mortal Control« is on one level about a »Kthulu Monster« taking over the world but it can also be about the state of the world today, inner turmoil in your head, or whatever floats your boat! I’m very happy about it and per usual Steven Briscotte dishes out some awesome solo work!

I know I will probably miss someone and I’m sorry, but I really want to thank the following people for being totally awesome: My dad Leif Wilson, Stefan Nordmark (my personal Friedman/Mustaine), Anger Overdose, Melishah, Death Pigeon, Creepboåt, Shovel Monster, Embers Ignite, godiam, Eisige Venen, Chris Brandon, Lenax, MelanyNyx, Monster Shop Metal, Monster Shop Radio, Isaac Banks, The Fourth Watch, Classy Heavy Metal Radio Show, Lelahel Metal, Greyfox Agenda, Rick Whitehead, everyone who added my songs to your playlists, bought a t-shirt, vox + stix, JamSteak, Hascjis Metal Corner, Doomed Nation, Team Brutal, NÆŔOK, AGBAT, Brazen Forgery, Hellbound Metal Alliance.”

Mourning Scars have a strong foundation in heavy metal and doom metal. The founder Richard Wilson have a background in Swedish bands Floodhorse and Master Massive.

Born in Skövde, Sweden Richard played in various local heavy metal bands both as a drummer and a singer. He played the drums in the the late 1980’s for bands such as Master Massive, Rebel Kiss and the cover band Alice In Soundgarden.

In 1991 he decided to quit playing drums and focus on vocals and guitar. He started the band Floodhorse with fellow local musician Fredrik Björnstigen. Floodhorse was a grunge/metal band heavily influenced by Soundgarden, Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam, but also bands like Helmet, Mindfunk and Black Sabbath.

In the mid 90’s Richard did a few shows as a singer for the band Master Massive as well as recording some demos with the band. In the 2000’s Richard focused on the more mellow and acoustic americana/singer-songwriter band Racingpaperplanes. He did two tours in the USA as well as Germany and Spain. American indie label Tract Records released four of the bands records as well as several EP’s and compilation albums.

Now it’s 2023 and Richard is going back to the roots and that means heavy metal/doom metal!
