I'm still listening to it... (an ongoing review)

First impressions... it seems less "generic" than previous efforts. I mean, I've always thought they were good, if somewhat generic. (The first thought I had when I first heard them was, "I've heard this before," but the reason I kept listening is because they really rock it. It's very high quality, aggressive, catchy metal. I look forward to it when it's coming up on my rotation.) This time around I feel a bit more creativity on their part, maybe branching out a bit. I would definitely like to see these guys in concert! Also, I'm really surprised these guys aren't more well-known.

Luring Me Back...

Back in 2001, a co-worker of mine burnt me a CD with nothing but metalcore songs on it. He didn’t provide me with an artist or track list, so I had to do a lot of research on my own. By doing this, I found a daunting sea of metalcore bands and truth be told, I thought a lot of them sucked. After many months of trial and error, I was able to hone in and pick up on bands like Killswitch Engage, God Forbid, In Flames and All that Remains. After a few years of it, I had lost interest; however, I have kept tabs on the aforementioned bands, but I have not been seeking any new bands or experiences with it. Unfortunately by doing so, I have missed out on bands like Austria’s the Sorrow.
Not being familiar with the Sorrow’s previous albums, I was unsure of what to expect. To my surprise, the band’s fourth album, Misery Escapes, is a well-played, well-produced and overall well-crafted album that immediately connected with me on all of the levels and reasons as to why I enjoyed the genre so many years ago. The Sorrow reminds me of some type of KsE/In Flames/All that Remains hybrid that take no prisoners in effort to enslave the masses with their melody and brutality. When it comes to songs like “Burial Bridge” and “My Oblivion,” the band show their greatest song writing strengths through incredibly melodic, yet intense and emotional performances. The album closer “Follow the Lights” is another highlight of the album as it is somewhat of a ballad, going back and forth between sweet intensity and slow-to-mid-tempo breakdowns and choruses.
For those who are ravenous fans of the genre, the Sorrow is a band that should be undoubtedly gracing your album collection. If you were a fan of it or are on the fence, check out Misery Escape as soon as possible. I guarantee that it’ll be worth your time.

The Sorrow is one of those bands that has the fire inside and you can really feel it in their music. On the back of their t-shirt it says. "Never Give Up All Your Hopes and Dreams" As you listen to this new album you can really tell this is a band that has fought for every inch and are relentless!! This band is really growing on me. One thing I noticed about this band too is that all the players fit very well together. The album is mixed perfectly so no one is drowning out the other. This is how metal deserves to be heard! Congrats on a monolithic effort guys. This will be blaring from my truck in the U.S for years to come. Never give up guys! True fan!
Update 12/10 - The bonus track Hold on Hope is probably the most moving piece of metal I have ever heard. There is a part in there that is pretty intense. Goosebumps. Incredible! If I could hear this live I know the audience would be going nuts and be deeply moved!
