Band Information
Extreme doom comes from this painfully and deliberately obscure Adelaide band whose origins go back to 1993. Membership has shifted between three members and one at various times. Good (of StarGazer) is the founder and principal songwriter, with other contributors at various times having some from Fury guitarist Darren McLennan and Boddasian of Chalice and Esoteric.
The group’s current membership now includes ex-Chalice members Bickle and Hartwig.
While their recorded output has been minimal and mainly restricted to a limited number of demo recordings, Mournful Congregation has received good press worldwide for their sombre, dismal symphonies.
The 2002 full length album is a double CD release featuring remastered demo material and spans over two hours of music. A third album is currently being completed for a late 2007 release.
