SORCERER – Lamenting of the Innocent (Slipcase CD)

Since they first started Sorcerer have been labeled ‘epic doom’ – a tag that fits but does not define them, and this has never been more evident than on their third full-length Lamenting of The Innocent. “This time out we wanted our sound to grow in every direction and not be limited in what we do,” they assert. “We wanted to capture the same vibe as on The Crowning of The Fire King (2017) but to also bring something new into it, so this time around, for example, we have some growling parts, and we think we have a pretty diverse album in many different aspects. Some parts are heavier and faster compared to what we’ve done before while some other parts are softer and more mellow. We wanted our sound to expand in every direction. We don’t really think about writing music to sound like Sorcerer, we just make music that we like, but for us it’s important to have great melodies, an ambient, big sound, heavy, badass riffs and a big epic chorus; that’s a Sorcerer song in a nutshell, at least at this point in time.”
