Background information über 'Lamenting Of The Innocent'

Swedish doom metal legends Sorcerer deliver another crushing statement with "Lamenting Of The Innocent", an album that perfectly captures the band's ability to weave dark, atmospheric storytelling with bone-crushing riffs. The record opens with the haunting "Persecution (Intro)" before launching into the thunderous "The Hammer of Witches", setting the tone for a journey through medieval darkness and occult themes. Anders Engberg's soaring vocals cut through the dense wall of sound like a beacon in the darkness, while the rhythm section provides the perfect foundation for the band's signature blend of traditional doom and progressive elements.

The album's title track stands as a centerpiece, showcasing Sorcerer's mastery of dynamics - from whispered passages to explosive crescendos that'll leave you breathless. Tracks like "Where Spirits Die" and "Age of the Damned" demonstrate the band's evolution since their reformation, incorporating more melodic elements without sacrificing their crushing heaviness. The bonus track "Hellfire" serves as a perfect closer, leaving listeners craving more of this Swedish doom mastery.
