"Crossing Jordan", the new Bernd Levay-directed video from THE SORROW, can be viewed below.
According to a press release, "The band have learned from the creative process of 'Origin Of The Storm', which was marked by tight schedules and high expectations. They have become totally independent in artistic terms, having embarked on a search to find themselves. The result? Their most impressive recording to date. 'The Sorrow' — the album — is unusual, courageous and oozes a musical atmosphere from the first to the last note which is unequalled in today's metal world.
"THE SORROW have redefined themselves, remaining faithful to themselves at the same time. Their classic recipes have given way to an irrepressible urge to explore new terrain. The product of their labours consists of 13 unique songs which combine everything that makes metal great.
"The new album by THE SORROW not only sees the band break new ground — it also takes its listeners onto musical virgin soil."
"Origin Of The Storm" entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 56 back in March 2009.
The band's debut album, "Blessings from a Blackened Sky", was released in July 2007 via Drakkar Records.
"Origin Of The Storm" and "Blessings from a Blackened Sky" will be released in North America on November 9 via Artoffact Records.
