Vlad Shahin speaks from beyond of the Mournful Gust’s Frankness…
The First Spring Without You …
…the experience of playing music in local acts of sympho black metal unit Vae Solis and destroyed doom / death metal group Temple Of Oblivion was preceded all of it… these groups paved the way for autumn of 1999 when in the Ukrainian city of Krivoy Rog groaning heart of Mournful Gust was arisen…
Path Of My Tears …
…by the end of 1999 the complement from doom metal hearts was framed for you to hear the first gravestone with inscription "She's My Grief". Mournful Gust has brought into this world music with such name and after half a year we entered the studio for the first time to keep eternity…
Once We Were Happy …
…the first album was published by Ukrainian label Metal Force Records on MC in the end of 2000.
"She's My Grief" includes 7 pieces of categorical doom / death metal melancholy with reflection of growl and clean vocals, variety of the maiden singing and gothic sediment of flute and viol…
Sweet Embrace Of Scarlet Twilight …
…dividing eternity and death metal melancholy concert complement of seven persons appeared before public a little less than a year before leaving Mournful Gust by one of the founders. Time stopped and it began searching of new ways for group. Wanderings in darkness during three years…
I Saw Her Sad Eyes …
…then in the end of 2001 Mournful Gust disappeared in despair and hopelessness. We lost ourselves down to 2004. In those days we’ve decided again to return under these heavens in absolutely updated line-up and we caught the contract with Russian major Metal Agen Records / SOYUZ …
As A Wingless Bird…
…the debut album "She's My Grief" was published on CD in August of 2005… the edition has design differences from MC-version five years' prescription: 12-page booklet, slip pack and the atmosphere of the beginning of 2000…
...And We Shall Die Together…
…and under a cover of hope we continued the way to frankness: it was generated the new concert complement and regular rehearsals for creation of new songs and active concert activity was renewed…
A Pain To Remember …
…our heart beats again and we burn down again inside of this earth… since 2006 we composed new songs for the album under the working name "The Frankness Eve" continuing and developing the integrity of the first album…
It’s Our Own Tragedy…
…all same heavy, melancholy, all the same charm of death metal in a gothic frame… we left the maiden singing and viol but kept a crying flute in a combination with acoustic guitars… more space for keyboards and clean voice singing, more space for tragic metal, euro folk motives and sad music…
To Your Deceits... Again …
…in August of 2006 it was written down four-track demo for all interested world with some positions from preparing album and in autumn of the same year our chapel stepped on stage again, appeared before you in a new complement, in a new appearance but in the same image as earlier…
From Illusions And Jealousy …
…the most part of 2006 was devoted to record of our second long play and to parallel searching of the publisher of our new work and our new frankness… for you. Our appearance on a stage allowed us to feel our common breath inside…
The Cold Solitude…
With Every Suffering …
…in second half of 2006 the grief dispelled on this world the eight songs with common name "The Frankness Eve". We approach those people who wait for us and we feel this support… life is so changeable, so temporary, so vulnerable…
Honey For My Wounds …
…after so long searching of publisher Mournful Gust concluded the deal with Russian label BadMoodMan Music/Solitude Productions and in April of 2008 the second CD had appeared… and now we’re here again… with you… in these sufferings… it was done… the album is supported by 24 page booklet and pit art technology in completion with an ingenious design idea of our designer…
Recover Me In Sores …
…time is not eternal… You has spent it for reading our history… and if it so we continue to create for you… and once we’ll appear in your country, in your city to wrap up you with our music, to divide with you our eternity, in Grief and Frankness…
Yours Vlad Shahin & Mournful Gust, Ukraine, 2008…

I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!
Our first album "King of the Universe " is available on Brennus website! YESSSSS! A fucking metal album ! Enjoy yourself and get on with it ! http://www.brennus-music.com/boutique
