Yellow

The Morningside are a Russian melodic doom metal band, with a touch of post-rock and progressive rock, and a noticeable black metal flavor to the vocals.

The first track had a noticeable post-rock influence. The melancholy that was brought out trough the clean instrumentals and lack of vocals was reminiscent of the style. When the very caps came in after the introduction closed, a black metal touch to the vocals stood out. Not a full on shriek, but relatively close to the style of vocals heard in BM. It surprising fits well with the constantly shifting guitar lines and sorrowful instrumentation. The track Out of the Nest presented another element to add to the album's list of tags, as the progressive rock influence can be heard through the drums on this track, and a hint of progressive metal on the guitars at some points on the cut.

Yellow takes you into an atmosphere of its own. The beautiful melodies and vocals are the perfect combination to create a melancholic feel. The album will never drift too much away from the formula as well, never catching you off guard, but not staying too focused to a certain influence or sound to lose the listener's interest. Every member of the band will do something with their instruments to add to the atmosphere, the feeling and emotions, that rush out from the record's track list. The guitars will back down when needed, the drums will kick up in intensity when the climax of the song is reached, and vocals will vary from a harsh delivery to a clean one to support changes in instrumental intensity (take the track Missing Day).
