SORROW - Death Of Sorrow CD
A foolproof solution to unfinished business. — Sorrow‘ve smartly stuck to the script so to speak, presenting ‘Death of Sorrow‘ with every bit of the right ‘old school’ tradition behind it from the folks who’d generated that tradition themselves. By not relying upon stand-ins and session musicians they completely avoid the usual ‘comeback’ irritations one would expect to arise from music left for dead in the past. Utilizing the knowledge and wisdom gained over the last few decades while having a clear vision for this recording from the outset has paid off for me, the longtime fan with a death metal record that sounds as if it were a remaster of an old classic. The re-recording of “Hidden Fear” is solid but a bit of an interruption at the end of the album, I’d just as well have cut right to the outro provided by “Funeral March”. Otherwise I couldn’t be more stoked on this record delivering upon a “What if…?” that is nearly as old as I am. A very high recommendation.
