Mothermound are a band from Slovenia that plays a progressive form of doom/death metal and this is a review of their 2013 album "The Burden Of Tomorrow" which was released by Hollow Earth Records.
"Aurora Awaken" which is also the first song on the album opens up with soft acoustic guitar playing along with a brief use of flutes a few seconds later which also leads up to heavy guitar riffs and drums as well as the guitar riffing utilizing some melody and a minute later doom/death metal growls kick in as well as the music getting more progressive and as time goes on by melodic clean singing vocals are added into the song as well as some melodic guitar solos and leads a couple of minutes later and the song closes with acoustic guitars.
"Come The Moonlight, Come The Rain" begins with heavy and melodic guitar and bass riffs along with some drums and a few seconds alter melodic vocals find their way into the song along with some growls shortly after that while also keeping around the melodic vocals and halfway through the song the music goes into a softer direction along with some acoustic guitars before getting heavy again along with some guitar leads.

Song lyrics cover Occultism, while the production has a very strong, powerful, heavy and professional sound where you can hear all of the musical instruments that are present on this recording along with some of the songs being very long and epic in length.
