Mourning Widows Biography
Following the disbanding of Extreme in 1996 and the release of his totally solo Schizophonic in 1997, Nuno Bettencourt assembled a new band with his nephew Donovan called Mourning Widows. They released their self-titled debut on Polydor Japan in 1998, followed by Furnished Souls for Rent in 2000. Both albums were re-released in the U.S. by Bruno Graffitti Records in 2004. ~ Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide
