Sorrows/Graad "Split"

Today I bring you a split release between U.S atmospheric black metal band Sorrows and Italy's Graad. Basically each band presents us with a unique theme that make up this beautiful split. Sorrows track "Bruja",  starts with some notes throbbing slowly until, without any warning, darkness falls upon us involving ourselves completely with a voice that lacerates through a very raw and aggressive record, interlaced by some melodic instrumental sections. In the end it turns out to be a pretty good track that will delight any fan of the cascadian or any other atmospheric genre.

"Mephestora", the track of the unknown Graad, shows us a brilliant instrumental track. The riffs, clearly belonging to the black metal circle, draws us contours to a atmospheric spiral that unfolds through dramatic doom riffs with a very atmospheric appendix attached to it. A track that I especially enjoyed, due to the epic and dramatic shapes around it. Each track serves as a excellent welcome-card for those who are not familiar with both bands featured on this split release.

I must say that the choice for that artwork was very good as well, almost if it was taken from a Méliès erotic dream. Amazing.

A very good split tape you can buy here. Thanks to both bands for this amazing offer.

Sorrows "Threads" EP

It's been a while since this band released something. "Threads" is the new EP brought by the Atmospheric Black Metal act Sorrows. The EP features one track only of about 15 minutes length. I quite enjoyed this release, you can tell it's well crafted, it's raw but with the right amount of melody, that creates a cosy atmosphere. If you're into Fell Voices, Ash Borer or the "cascadian" BM scene then this is a must-listen for you. Limited to 100 Cassettes it comes with a booklet of writings and photo's. Support them here.
