The Mourning After is the second major release by the nu metal band 40 Below Summer. The album was released on October 28, 2003 via Razor & Tie Records. Two singles were released from the album in "Self Medicate" and "Taxi Cab Confession".

During promotion of the album, 40 Below Summer appeared on Headbangers Ball, and the video for "Self Medicate" found significant airplay. This video features the group performing the song in a city park as well as various acts of indulgent "self medication" by townspeople (i.e. secretively buying pornography, gorging on food, making out). The following year, MTV2 held a fan's choice poll for the Best Metal Videos of 2004.[5] The results aired on the December 25 edition of Headbangers Ball with "Self Medicate" ranking in at #18.

The CD is Content/Copy-Protected with MediaMax Digital Rights Management Software on it.
