Born and based in Sweden, melodic death metal/progressive metal outfit In Mourning formed in 2000. The band released a series of demos (five, to be exact) before finally landing a deal with Aftermath Music. The band -- Tobias (guitar and vocals), Bjorn (guitar), Tim (guitar), Pierre (bass), and Crille (drums) -- began performing live around 2005, and with a deal in hand, released its official debut full-length, Shrouded Divine, in 2008.
