TMCLS

The Mourning Comes Like Smoke (TMCLS) is a US-German based trio born out of silence, frustration, and a post-lockdown haze of lost time. Their name "The Mourning Comes Like Smoke" (TMCLS), captures the spirit of what they’ve survived and what they’ve chosen to release: a slow, creeping grief that morphs into fire when turned into sound. TMCLS is the sound of implosion, an emotional exhale from the three united souls: Vee, Odin & Rycko.

Music is written and recorded in home studios and self-produced in Antwerp (Belgium), this debut is the direct result of isolation, anxiety, and clarity found at the edge of breaking. It’s where electronic pulses collide with distorted riffs, where silence becomes scream, and where the mourning burns.

The first real explosion comes with the release of their lead single, "Breaking My Own Mind" - a relentless, high-voltage spiral that marked TMCLS as a force of emotional and sonic unrest. The track blends industrial synth textures, Vee and Odin’s dual-vocal delivery, and Rycko’s crushing beats into a self-destructive anthem that’s impossible to ignore.

NOTE - As a studio band, we’ve made a conscious choice. We don’t need social media platforms run by billionaires to validate our existence or feed algorithms that bury art in favor of ads. Our music lives on real music platforms and on www.tmcls.band
And that’s where you’ll find us.

- Vee, Odin & Rycko
