THE RESURRECTION SORROW: Digital EP Now Available

The new digital release from New York City-based doom/rock outfit THE RESURRECTION SORROW, the meager yet massive three-songThe Scorpion Savior Sessions, is now available via iTunes.

While The Scorpion Savior Sessions is only a taste of what the band are working on these days -- as the band write and build up to their next full-length album, set for release later this year -- the EP stands on its own merit as well, reaping great reviews from media outlets and zines internationally over recent weeks. Recent footage of THE RESURRECTION SORROW performing one of the new tracks, "Scorpion Savior," at a hometown NYC show in June at this location.

Review copies of The Scorpion Savior Sessions as well as interviews with the members of THE RESURRECTION SORROW are available via email and phone. Summon an Earsplit ninja to carry out all coverage requests, and stay tuned for more updates on the forthcoming album over the weeks ahead.

"...it’s immediately obvious that this is a band who aren’t comfortable staying in the same ballpark as before and are looking to expand their sonic palette. 4/5" - Onemetal

"...a band that clearly has a grip on the sound they want to play, and they execute it to near perfection. The songs are addicting and often hypnotizing or abrasive, and just show off a great deal of promise from the group. 9/10" - Apoch's Metal Review

"As a hybrid of classic proto-metal, doom  and  thrash the band is both heavy and catchy all at once with cool melodic elements at play." - Metal Army America

"...thick and heavy grooves, a heaviness that summons the Heavy Metal spirit that our beloved genre was built upon." - Metal Odyssey

"It has been two years since their debut The Hour of the Wolf and if these samples are anything to go by, The Resurrection Sorrow can look forward to spreading their repertoire and fan base wider." - Alternative Matter

THE RESURRECTION SORROW Working On New Material; Band Members Needed

New York City doomsters THE RESURRECTION SORROW are currently hard at work on their next release. The band are again working with NYC-based producer Joe Hogan (Nebula, The Atomic Bitchwax) as on their debut album, 2009's thunderous Hour Of The Wolf. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.

But the band have also hit a snag, as the lineup shifted and two members recently fled the unit. They now seek a new full-time lead guitarist and drummer to fill out the band lineup once again, complete the new recordings, and get back on the road. Here are some more details/requirements for the positions available:

"The Resurrection Sorrow is seeking a drummer and a lead guitarist to round out the line up and join them for their upcoming ventures. The band is currently fleshing out details for Summer/Fall touring, and are recording their follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut Hour of the Wolf. The ideal candidates have pro-level chops, live and studio experience and the flexibility to tour when the opportunities present themselves. If this seems like a gig you're well-suited for, please contact us. If you could send us an MP3 of something you've played on, that would be a huge plus. Dark, vibed-out, powerful and HEAVY is the theme!"

For more info, contact THE RESURRECTION SORROW directly at:resurrectionsorrow@gmail.com

Stay tuned for more updates on the band over the coming weeks.

"Raised on swampy boogie rock, influenced by the plodding insanity of early Soundgarden, yet adoring the incendiary thrust of the NOLA heavy music scene, New York's Resurrection Sorrow have a ballsy fury going on Hour Of The Wolf. " - Exclaim Magazine

"This absolutely stays in rotation for me after this review is complete. This one makes good on the promise so many bands reneged on back in the 80’s and 90’s." - HellrideMusic.com

"Lots of thick crunchy grooves, teamed up with an incredible rhythm section, and almost hypnotic vocals really show off the musicianship of The Resurrection Sorrow." - TheNewReview.net

"The Resurrection Sorrow draws heavy on that dark swagger while maintaining an edge and an earthy grit and also bring a level of heaviness that easily exceeds that of it influences and makes this a band well worth checking out..."

- Hellride Music (Read More)

"Trimming away the excesses that can pad out these types of albums, The Resurrection Sorrow have delivered an exciting and, quite simply, brilliant debut that shows great promise for the future."

- Album of the Year Rock Midgets: Chris Ward

Favorite Album: The Resurrection Sorrow - Hour of the Wolf

(Read More)

"The band is out not to re-invent the wheel, but ‘Hour Of The Wolf’ is a strong reinforcement. A more than good business card with song busters like the title song, the instrumental ‘Shadow Of A Vampire’ and opener ‘Resurrect The Sorrow’."

- Lords Of Metal (Read More)

"...if you are a fan of Heave/Stoner Metal, you will surely not be disappointed with this album. 8/10"

- Infernal Masquerade (Read More)

"In a word: Ballsy... This is testosterone driven doom rock that stands out like a high five across the table at a fancy restaurant. Think COC, BLS, Crowbar, some Borgo Pass-style sludge..."

- TheObelisk.net (Read More)

"Hour of the Wolf bolsters the future of Metal."

- Steven Blush (author/filmmaker, American Hardcore)

"Raw, heavy, anthemic and played with obvious passion, this is a great album from a bunch of musicians with enough of a playing history to know how to craft each song so it never outstays its welcome." 5/5

- RockMidgets.com (Read More)

"Going into the history of heavy metal, many forget about the rock roots, but these guys are trying their best to add power, heft and heaviness to their rock sound." 4/5

- waytooloud.com (Read More)

"It takes about four seconds of opening track ‘Resurrect the Sorrow’ to showcase what the band are all about, and from then on in it’s a masterclass in heaviosity as the band’s inspirations all come together to make a solid ball of metal that will take your head clean off with one punch." 10/10
