HATEBREED, DOWN, CROWBAR, and more, KINGDOM OF SORROW has
arrived to stake its claim as the band that lives up to its super group status.
The seeds of KINGDOM OF SORROW were sown over a decade ago when a
16 year old HATEBREED front man (and avid CROWBAR fan) Jamey Jasta
introduced himself to DOWN/CROWBAR guitarist Kirk Windstein at a show at
Pearl Street in Northampton, Massachusetts.
A short time later Jasta, who actively booked shows throughout New England
in the early nineties, put up the cash for an NAPALM DEATH/CROWBAR show
in order that HATEBREED could play with one of his favorite bands. Ever
since, the two have remained in close contact and become the best of friends
over the subsequent decade.
Jasta and HATEBREED invited CROWBAR out for a UK run of dates in March
2005. It was there that the two friends decided to combine forces on a band
based on their mutual affinity for the hallmarks of the genre (BLACK
SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, PANTERA) and their history of writing some of the
heaviest hitting metal of the past fifteen years.
The duo holed-up in Silver Bullet Studios in Connecticut in May 2005 and once
again when Kirk relocated post-Katrina to write and assemble what would
become the very first KINGDOM OF SORROW album.
The first taste of the untitled project surfaced in the form of the epic track
“Buried in Black” on Roadrunner Records,’MTV2 Headbangers Ball: The
Revenge’ compilation (released April 2006).
“Buried in Black” combined two of metal’s most recognizable styles into one
crushing, morose display of metal brilliance. The lead-heavy riffs captured by
Zeuss (HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL, MUNICIPAL WASTE) that closed the
compilation cleared the deck of the bands before it, and were a call to arms
of what is sure to be one of the genre’s most celebrated new bands. It
wasn’t long before “Buried in Black” appeared on metal radio shows the world
over and became a staple on Sirius’ “Hard Attack”.
While the writing flowed fast, progress was slow due to the pair’s
commitments to their main bands that wrote, released, and toured
extensively, on new records through 2006 and 2007. Songs were
deconstructed, reconstructed, written and recorded again in Planet Z Studios
(HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, etc.) with Zeuss until
the duo was completely satisfied with the outcome. Jasta commented on the
writing process, “It really was probably the best time I've ever had in the
studio. As far as creatively...it was such a liberating thing. We felt like, "It's a
new band. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks." We're just doing it
because we want to do it. So it was a totally genuine and pure creative
process."
KINGDOM OF SORROW inked a deal with Relapse Records in fall 2007 and
began plans to unveil the record they’d spent the better part of two years
creating.
On their long-awaited debut album KINGDOM OF SORROW (due February 19
in North America, February 25th internationally) lays down an 11 track
barrage of some of the heaviest and most muscular metal in years. Tracks
such as "Lead into Demise", "Demon Eyes (Demonized)", "Lead the Ghosts
Astray" are as memorable as they are heavy, while the haunting "Screaming
At the Sky" and “Free the Fallen” show a new side to these often-copied, yet
never duplicated metal luminaries. KINGDOM OF SORROW is the incredible
next step in the illustrious careers of two of metal’s most-celebrated
heavyweights.
In early 2008, Jasta and Windstein assembled the first full lineup for the
bands upcoming live debut. In addition to Jasta (Vocals) and Windstein
(Guitar, Vocals), KINGDOM OF SORROW is completed by former BLACK LABEL
SOCIETY guitarist Steve Gibb, SEEMLESS drummer Derek Kerswell, and
bassist Matthew Brunson. The quintet will step out on its first dates on a
short Northeast US Tour in March, before announcing world tour plans for the
coming months.
KINGDOM OF SORROW is:
Jamey Jasta (HATEBREED, ICEPICK) – Vocals and principal songwriter
Kirk Windstein (DOWN, CROWBAR) – Guitar, Vocals and principal songwriter
