THE SORROW: Four Songs From Upcoming Debut Posted Online

July 14, 2007

Austrian metallers THE SORROW have posted four songs from their upcoming debut album, "Blessings from a Blackened Sky", on their MySpace page. The CD is scheduled for release on July 27 via Drakkar Records.

According to the band's official bio, THE SORROW's sound is characterized by "intricate riffs, raw, high-velocity attacks, powerful rhythms, melodic counterpoints and breakdowns that loosen every neck muscle. That's what marks this debut, that's what earned THE SORROW the 'Demo of the Month' award in the February issue of Metal Hammer magazine — as well as comparisons with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE."

Commented THE SORROW vocalist/guitarist Mätze: "KILLSWITCH ENGAGE are definitely a band that we all respect and like. Our real influences are musicians such as PANTERA, MACHINE HEAD, IN FLAMES, AT THE GATES, as well as IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, MÖTLEY CRÜE and SKID ROW. We're all over 25 and our preferences go back far into the timeless history of heavy metal."

"Blessings from a Blackened Sky" was recorded at Principal Studio near Münster, Germany with producer Toni Meloni, who has previously worked with such acts as ESTATE and CALIBAN. The album's lyrics reflect the whole range of the media apocalypse. "These days it's considered normal to be confronted with apocalyptic scenarios on a daily basis," explained guitarist Andi, who wanted to present thematic counterpoints to these kinds of subjects. "Our debut is full of distinctive metal slogans, like JUDAS PRIEST's 'Painkiller'," he laughed.
