Interview to Sorrows Path

Interview by Luis Landeo
Hails guys, welcome to Arsenal Del Metalero, I have to say I like the new album, is really awesome, with good riffs and changes in all the songs, and all this tracks are the perfection, so congratulations for this second release, my friends, but to start this interview how was the release of this new album? and what dificulties had the band to release the album? and what problems had sorrows path with the before label you was signed? 
Hello Luis and Arsenal Del Metalero! Nice to talk with you again! Thank you very much for your kind words about our new stuff! We are really happy and satisfied that this album is finally out! The only problem was that our ex label didn’t release the album in 2013 as they had promised, so we had to search for another label…

Actually the band is signed with the label: Iron Shield Records, but how was search a new label? and how was contact and work with this new label for the release of this album? and how many copies was released? 
We were in a search for a new label in the first months of 2014 and after having three propositions from labels abroad, we selected Iron Shield Records, because we believed that this label was the most reliable, they offered us the best deal and this was also a German label! Very important because Germany is a strong country where metal lives….The album is out in 800 physical copies but there is also a digital release in many digital platforms worldwide!

This album had the participation of great musicians like: Edgar Rivera (ex Solitude aeturnus) and the famous Snowy Shaw (ex Therion, ex Dream Evil, ex King Diamond) how was work with at distance in the recording of this recording? 
Everything went really smooth; both of them were on time in everything - we didn't have any problems at all. Of course, we have to mention that we were really moved about the fact that two musicians that inspired us so much to form the band two decades ago, were in contact with us, even by distance, recording vocals and guitar for the new Sorrows Path album!

The art of this album is very different at difference with the first cover album made by Spiros Antoniou, obviously because the cover of this second album was made by Lisa Heschl, but what represent the owl in the concept of this second work? And how born the idea of use this enigmatic bird to represent the “Doom Philosophy”? 
Spiros is a really great artist..the best in Greece and one of his kind. But we wanted to try something different in this album. We chose Lisa from a long list of new artists we really like and it was fun working with her!  The owl on the cover artwork, is a symbol of wisdom in Ancient Greece and in many eastern cultures, is linked with death as well. So here you have the connection!

By the way, why was entitled this album like "Doom Philosophy"? and what is the "Doom Philosophy" of your band Sorrows Path? 
If we speak about the lyrics, they are based on the philosophy of death…they talk about the human being that understands its mortal limits and discards any thin desires, like fame, glory and worldly goods. And there we meet with the philosophy of death that guides every human to his salvation. We had already developed the human pain in our two previous works, so the philosophy of death brings the desired salvation.

In all this time after the release of the first album, what lessons of life the band learned? and what good experiences can you tell about it? 
After the recordings of our first full length the lesson we got was getting experienced. You know how to avoid any possible mistakes and you are wiser if, of course, you keep your eyes and mind open without being prejudiced! The best thing for us came after the recordings; the album was soon sold out and the people talked about a unique band that was born!

In the song Darkness there is a dirty conversation of a man with a whore, but in what was inspired this song?
(Laughs), not really! Just some common people like you and us expressing their mortal desires while death is getting nearer and nearer…The song “Darkness” talks about communion but we don’t want to preach anything, we just want to leave the listeners feel free seeking about their own answers. We are all different people and different lives bring different needs and thoughts…

To finish this interview do you have a message to readers and fans of the band?
Thank you very much Luis for the deep conversation! Our biggest respect goes to all the friends of the band that helped us so far! The band belongs to them! Doom rules eternally…
