Autumn 2007 saw a young metal band from Austria’s idyllic Vorarlberg region turn the world of metal upside down with their debut recording. Having been voted Album of the Month by Metal Hammer and awarded 10 x Dynamite by Rock Hard, “Blessings From A Blackened Sky” literally hit the bullseye. Positioned somewhere between typical metalcore and melodic death, these twelve songs fascinated with razor-sharp riffs, brilliant arrangements and great melodies. Playing with tempos – to this day one of the band’s trademarks – had already been developed to perfection on their debut release, and EMP magazine’s comment “The future definitely belongs to THE SORROW” was proved right.

The band soon took international stages by storm. THE SORROW earned themselves a constantly and rapidly growing fan base, performed all over Europe and became Austria’s most successful metal act. Performances at the Wacken, Tuska, Nova Rock, Metal Camp and Rock Hard festivals (see the “Origin of the Storm Limited Edition” bonus CD) and alongside Children Of Bodom, Heaven Shall Burn, Devildriver, Killswitch Engage and Chimaira came next. 14 months after the release of their debut, THE SORROW returned to the Principal Studios near Münster with producer Toni Meloni (Caliban, Die Toten Hosen) to start recording their second album.

“Origin of the Storm” was released in February 2009, the band having perfected their contemporary metal in their familiar brutal and extremely fresh style. Harmonically self-contained, the album featured a wide range of contemporary hard sounds. Polished riffs, well thought-out arrangements and great anthemnic chorus parts summarised the essence of their musical products. Before the release of their album, the band supported Sepultura on their European tour, followed by the “Anchorless” tour in October 2009 with 18 headlining gigs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. THE SORROW have proven their live qualities at countless shows, among them great festivals such as the Nova Rock, Masters of Rock and the warm-up party of the Swiss Sonisphere festival. 2009 saw THE SORROW win the Amadeus Austrian Music Award in the Hard & Heavy category.
