To be able to fully concentrate on his ambitious work, McCoy retreated into total isolation, writing the album in a relatively short time. Based on the typical Nephilim sound, he worked on an evolution of his tried-and-tested stylistic devices and arrived at new artistic horizons. "Mourning Sun is a progression of the previous Nephilim albums, from Dawnrazor through Elizium to Zoon", he points out, "no comparison, only progression". He expresses himself in a total of seven epic numbers that live off their breathtaking density and haunting atmospheres. Tracks such as Shroud (Exordium), Requiem XIII-33 (Le Veilleur Silencieux), or the title track Mourning Sun (clocking in at over ten minutes) all stand in their own right, while at the same time complementing each other, blending into a complex whole. McCoy: "Every track has to be listened to in the context of the album".
