Sørgelig prepare to release Φθορά
September 13, 2024
After three years of silence there is a stirring in the darkness…Sørgelig have awoken and once more the night becomes a place of danger. Having signed with the renowned label, Tragedy Productions – home to the likes of Rise To The Sky, Voidmilker and Winds Of Tragedy – the Greek purveyors of malice and malfeasance have returned with their third full length album, a tapestry of tragic tales and blackest magic, Φθορά. The harrowing vocal cries of Odious tear you from your mundane reality as Φθορά bursts into life with the shocking act of violence that is ‘Breed Of Waste’. You try desperately to catch your breath as you speed through the howling shadows, but respite is an eternity away. Time loses all shape and meaning, as it is warped and distorted in the talons of ‘Libation Of Blood’ – a truly stunning display of the black metal art. Sweeping waves of bleak melody and an array of riffs that embed themselves in your brain like barbed and rusted hooks, wild vocals that seem from a creature possessed, a legion of voices from a single throat and songs constructed with exquisite cruelty and sprinkled with bone dust and arcane magic…all of these elements make Φθορά an unforgettable album. From the agonised lament of ‘…Of Wrath And Pyre’, a hymn to death and fire, to the overwhelming, all consuming underworld odyssey of ‘Dreamscapes Of Lethe’ that paints the final symbols of binding across your heart…this album is a labyrinth which a part of your soul will never leave. Tragedy Productions will draw back the shroud that covers the mysteries of Φθορά on October 4th and its black wings will unfold. Presented in a 6 panel digi-pack with sixteen page booklet Φθορά is a work to be treasured and feared in equal measure, to be clasped tight even as the heart quails in its presence. Sørgelig are here and your journey into the depths soon begins…whether you will it or not. Track Listing:
