Swedish heavy/doom metal solo project Mourning Scars unveil two new singles, »Noctifer« and »Dead Crows«!

Gothenburg, Sweden based heavy/doom metal solo project Mourning Scars has just unveiled two new singles, »Noctifer« and »Dead Crows«.

Both were released on March 3rd, 2023 and are available now on all major digital platforms.

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!
