SORROWS PATH – Doom Philosophy
Iron Shield Records
Doom metal is in my
opinion the darkest genre of heavy metal music. Since the days of CANDLEMASS it
has introduced us to such subjects like loss, solitude and death. I know that
these kinds of subjects are not easily accepted by any person, but the fact is
that artists have always been inspired by them and most of the times manage to
create something that we can talk about. SORROWS PATH in their sophomore album
are inspired by such themes and I think that they do fit to their sound. In
their second release SORROWS PATH continue to play their unique doom metal
sound and also have evolved it by introducing new elements like gothic touches
to some songs and sometimes they even flirt with progressive metal structures.
They also manage to create an atmosphere that is dark, epic and sometimes full
of despair. I can’t say that they have reminded me of any specific band as
these guys have quite a unique sound, but we can say that they move somewhere
between the epic path of CANDLEMASS and SOLITUDE AETURNUS and the melancholic darkness
of MY DYING BRIDE. “Doom Philosophy” is a demanding release that you have to
listen to very carefully, but believe me it will pay you back. Finally, let me
tell you that in this album there are guest appearances of such musicians like
Snowy Saw and Edgar Rivera. The fans of doom metal have to check them out…
