Soror Dolorosa - Mond - VINYL LP

Creatures of the night probably miss the 80s of the last century badly. Post-punk and New Wave reached glorious heights and their epic explorations of mixing hard guitars and driving electronics dominated alternative dance floors. Names like SISTERS OF MERCY, FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM, DEPECHE MODE, JOY DIVISION, THE HUMAN LEAGUE, ULTRAVOX and others still have a magic ring to them. Luckily, all that subtle eroticism, the electric excitement, and dark musical pleasure is not gone for good Soror Dolorosa come flying to the rescue on black wings. Their fourth album InchMondInch (German for InchMoonInch) has musical fangs that draw delicious sonic blood on the first listening experience. The classic dark post-punk and wave elements are all there, and so is the overwhelming enticement to let your feet move in an ecstatic dance under the eponymous moon. Yet Soror Dolorosa are no peddlers of stale snake oil nostalgia. The French band has updated the classic feel with a massive sound fitting for the new millennium. Mix and mastering of InchMondInch have been successfully entrusted to PERTURBATOR mastermind James Kent, who has polished this epic album with a rich vibrant power and ethereal coldness. Lyrically, Soror Dolorosa remain firmly on the path they have wandered from the start, when the band was originally founded in Toulouse in 2001 and finally emerged with the InchSeveranceInch EP in 2009. Their inspiration has again come in part from poets and writers such as William Blake and Edgar Alan Poe. The romantic and cathartic emotional landscapes are still at the heart of the band. With InchMondInch, Soror Dolorosa are reaching far out of the solar sphere and into deep outer space where the musical past and future become entwined to create an exciting new chapter in the band's evolution.

Shovels & Rope - Johnny 99 / Bad As Me [7-INCH SINGLE] date 04/02/2013

Deluxe four disc artbook edition includes Apollo CD plus the live Rive Gauche on two CDs and DVD. 2017 . Paris-based Soror Dolorosa creates raw and hungry gothic rock inspired by post-punk, death rock and cold wave. French for 'Sister Pain', Soror Dolorosa was formed in 2001 by vocalist Andy Julia. Taking it's name from the novel Bruges-la-morte by Flemish symbolist writer Georges Rodenbach, Soror Dolorosa channels it's inspiration's strong undercurrents of passion, nostalgia and mourning, transferring those powerful emotional states into it's music and live performances. These signature elements of the group's sonic formula are heard in it's muscular songs, jangling guitars, overdriven bass lines, driving rhythms and Julia's distinctive, dramatic vocal style. Four years in the making, InchApolloInch is Soror Dolorosa's crowning achievement; a bombastic dystopian world view encapsulated in dark popcraft. Melodic and memorable, the album shines a light on both stunning beauty and haunting sadness with Julia's foreboding, prophet of doom baritone soaring on down a long and lonesome highway full of baroque, exquisite anguish. The four sides of the CD/double LP are presented like the passing of the four seasons, creating an audio life cycle. With Soror Dolorosa, everything starts and ends within this ancestral conception. For the band, Apollo isn't just an album, it's a spiritual quest. Album Tracks 1. Apollo 2. Locksley Hall 3. That Run 4. Everyway 5. Night Is Our Hollow 6. Another Life 7. Breezed & Blue 8. Yata 9.
