Stockholm, Sweden-based doom metal band Sorcerer issued third full-length studio album Lamenting Of The Innocent<\/em> on May 29th, 2020 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

The band commented: \u201cThis time out we wanted our sound to grow in every direction and not be limited in what we do. We wanted to capture the same vibe as on The Crowning of The Fire King<\/em> (2017) but to also bring something new into it, so this time around, for example, we have some growling parts, and we think we have a pretty diverse album in many different aspects. Some parts are heavier and faster compared to what we\u2019ve done before while some other parts are softer and more mellow. We wanted our sound to expand in every direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t really think about writing music to sound like Sorcerer, we just make music that we like, but for us it\u2019s important to have great melodies, an ambient, big sound, heavy, badass riffs and a big epic chorus; that\u2019s a Sorcerer song in a nutshell, at least at this point in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The track \u2018Deliverance\u2019 features guest contributions from Candlemass vocalist Johan L\u00e4ngquist and renowned Swedish cellist Svante Henryson. Sorcerer stated: \u201cThey truly brought another dimension to that song and now it\u2019s impossible to imagine it without their contributions, which is the way it should be when you bring guests in to perform; they are there to provide something you couldn\u2019t do on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lamenting Of The Innocent<\/em> was mixed and mastered by Ronnie Bj\u00f6rnstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n
