Sorrows Path

Sorrows Path was formed in November of 1993, being firstly inspired by doom metal bands like Memento Mori, Solitude Aeturnus and Candlemass. They released two demos in 1995 and 1996 entitled “Sorrows Path” and “promo ’96” that made them known in the Greek underground as a band with truly personal and unique sound and influences. There’s a really long story of misfortune and bad luck about this band. At the end of 1995 the one of the two founders died because of a serious brain disease! Sorrows Path continued their way until 1998 when they decided to take a break for about 2 years due to the mandatory military service that the band members had to undergo. In the rise of the new millennium and while the band started to work again, the other founder was almost paralyzed because of a neck problem which was caused a few years ago by a devastating motorcycle accident! By the end of 2005 and when the co-founder partially recovered and his hands got stronger, the band was back in action in order to catch up with the time lost all these years. Old songs were being rehearsed once again with new songs and were put together for future release. That was the time when Sorrows Path decided to release the re-mastered version of their first demo along with their ’96 promo tape. On April 2006 Sorrows Path hit the stage after 9 whole years as the opening act for the Texan masters of Doom Metal, Solitude Aeturnus at Underworld Club, Athens, Greece. On the very next day the remasters were out from Eat Metal Records entitled “Resurrection”. From that time and then, the band was back in full action… Sorrows Path has performed many gigs all over Greece since their birth and their rebirth as well, either supporting well known metal bands like Memory Garden, Pagan Altar and Brocas Helm, or sharing the stage with some of the most popular Greek bands. At the summer of 2008, they entered Fragile Studios in Athens to record their real first album with well known Greek metal producer, musician and composer Vangelis Yalamas. By the end of the summer 2009 everything was ready! The recordings, mixing and mastering was completed! All the artwork and photography for this album has been made by the most important of his kind in Greece, Seth Siro Anton.
