The compilation Caverns of Grief/Funeral Oath brings together two early EPs from Sorrowstorm, delivering a heavy dose of depressive Unblack Metal atmosphere. The songs are slow, melodic, and haunting, layering symphonic elements over bleak guitar riffs and low, raspy vocals. Lyrically, the music explores deep sorrow, loss, and spiritual mourning. The production keeps things raw and emotional, letting the keyboards and somber riffs pull listeners into a dark, immersive experience that eventually finds light through catharsis.
Sorrowstorm is an Unblack metal project that originally emerged from Panama City, Panama. Formed in 2000 by Ogrus Storm (Phil Diez), the same creative force behind the Brutal Death Metal act Encryptor, the band has become a unique and respected name in the underground Extreme Metal scene. This release captures the early spirit of Sorrowstorm’s work and shows how Atmospheric Unblack Metal can express both grief and hope.
