Jonathan Owens’ intense delivery of his vocal outpouring captures the audiences attention, and once understanding the brevity behind the personal lyrics they cant help but be trapped in a vice grip of relatability as his lyrics talk about mental struggles far too many across the globe are dealing with. Also, even more heart wrenching, a larger population are dealing with such struggles in silence. Dull Mourning’s intense musical presence helps shed light on these under-represented struggles and puts them center stage.

LISTEN TO ‘UGLY FLAME’ EP

Ugly Flame recording is a unique one that lends itself to Dull Mourning’s signature sound. The mixture of both clean and unclean vocals fortifies and adds to the distortion ever present in their sound. This all culminates in the excellent presentation of the intense energy that they bring forth in each song. While already stating the personal nature of the lyrics in each of these four powerful tracks, it is noted that these issues are sadly not unique to just a few, but instead have mass appeal due to how many are dealing with these troubles in silence.
