Sorrow To See Re-Release Of Debut Album "Hatred And Disgust"

Metal Mind Productions has issued the following announcement about re-releasing the "Hatred and Disgust" album by Sorrow:

"Metal Mind Productions presents a re-release of the only studio album by the American death/doom metal band Sorrow. Sorrow’s history is a by-the-book example of a band who had genuine talent, but just weren’t lucky enough to survive the avalanche of metal releases in the early 90’s. Today, the group’s debut album 'Hatred and Disgust' (1992), along with the preceding EP 'Forgotten Sunrise' (1991), are considered as true metal classics, hunted by music collectors all around the world. This exclusive double reissue brings back these classics in all of their brutal, devastating glory…

"The group was originally formed in 1988, bearing the name Apparition. Back then, the five-piece (consisting of vocalist Rob Hermandez, bassist Rich Figlia, drummer Mike Hymson and guitarists Andy Marchione and Brett Clarin) played straight-forward thrash metal, much like many other bands on the New York scene. The scene itself was divided between thrash and hardcore fans. Apparition was a quite successful project, recording overall 2 demos and 1 EP – 'Eternally Forgotten/Curse The Sunrise' – released by Relapse Records. They also played numerous shows with other scene bands like Suffocation or Gorguts. The buzz around the group was getting bigger and soon they got their chance to shine.

"Sadly, the band did not stand the tight competition from other acts and eventually got signed off Roadrunner’s roster. This became the direct reason for Sorrow’s disbandment in May, 1993. Some of the musicians associated with the group went on to form new projects, others retired from music in general. There were some rumors of getting the band back together but that eventually didn’t work out. Sorrow faded away like many other talented groups before them.

"Today, we are proud to bring you back this true metal legend and their classic works. Both 'Forgotten Sunrise' and 'Hatred and Disgust' represent the sheer essence of death and doom metal. But this time the essence won’t be forgotten. The new digipak edition of the album is limited to 2000 copies. The re-issue is extended by the addition of 'Forgotten Sunrise' EP. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process, released on a golden disc. The release date is scheduled for 2nd August in Europe and 5th October in USA (via MVD)."
