Mourning Sun, released in November 2005, is the fifth studio album (although it is fourth 'official' studio album) by Fields of the Nephilim. Vocalist Carl McCoy is the only original band member to be featured on this album. McCoy along with Carter (original Nefilim collaborator) spent eighteen months recording new demos in McCoy's mobile recording studio, dubbed "The Ice Cage" which took them to various places, including Norway. According to McCoy, Ice Cage sessions generated enough material for a double album, yet it was ultimately decided to narrow the track listing down to one disc. While McCoy has acknowledged that additional musicians were recruited for the writing and recording process, he has not disclosed their identities nor admitted whether they are included in the band's touring lineup; the only identified persons involved in the recording process to date are John "Capachino" Carter (a bass player who also worked with McCoy on Zoon demos in the beginning of 1990's.) and McCoy's daughters Scarlett and Eden on backing vocals for the title track. McCoy has admitted to having applied preprogrammed drums on some of the tracks, stressing at the same time that most of the drum parts "were created by a real human being - Carter."

Famous quotes containing the words mourning and/or sun:
“I’m in mourning for my life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“The primitive wood is always and everywhere damp and mossy, so that I traveled constantly with the impression that I was in a swamp; and only when it was remarked that this or that tract, judging from the quality of the timber on it, would make a profitable clearing, was I reminded, that if the sun were let in it would make a dry field, like the few I had seen, at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
