Bent by Sorrow’s "Sakura": A Metal Earthquake You Didn’t See Coming
Athens’ Finest Are About to Drop the Album of the Decade – And Your Speakers Aren’t Ready
Ever had your eardrums punched by pure sonic fury? Buckle up, folks. Athens’ metallic tsunami Bent by Sorrow is gearing up to unleash Sakura – a debut album that’s less a collection of songs and more a declaration of war on mediocrity. To be released on May 23, 2025, via Brutal Records, this ain’t just music; it’s a vibe, a mood, a straight-up exorcism for anyone still clinging to boring riffs.
Let’s cut the fluff: Sakura is shaping up to be the lovechild of a mosh pit and a poetry slam. Imagine Deftones’ brooding intensity marrying Soilwork’s razor-sharp precision, with Disturbed’s swagger crashing the reception. Produced by Fotis Benardo (the audio alchemist behind Devasoundz Studios), this 10-track beast promises to swing between bone-crushing aggression and eerie, almost romantic darkness. From the dystopian stomp of The Machine to the boxing-ring brutality of Never Fail, every track threatens to hit like an uppercut to the soul.
Tracklist? More Like a Treasure Map to Chaos:
The Machine
Never Fail
Need for Faith
A Life Without an F
Through the Blacklight
Trapped
Rain
Demoncracy
Order Chaos
Interlude - La Reina Muerte
For the Victory of Light
These Greeks aren’t just studio wizards – they’re stage terrorists. Having shared bills with legends like Nile and Crowbar, Bent by Sorrow doesn’t just play live; they detonate. Frontman Pantelis Saroglou howls like a man possessed, while the twin-guitar attack of Dimi and Lenis could slice steel.
Discography Deep Cut:
Their 2020 EP Dementia was already a cult classic (Truth Behind the Lies slaps harder than a disgruntled parent), but Sakura? This is poised to be their "Appetite for Destruction" moment. And if Through the Blacklight doesn’t make your neck muscles ache, check your pulse – you might be a hologram.
Look, I’ve seen bands come and go like questionable fashion trends. But Sakura? This ain’t just an album – it’s gonna be a cultural reset button. Bent by Sorrow isn’t just pushing boundaries; they’re strapping C4 to ’em. Whether you’re a diehard headbanger or that guy who still thinks metal is “just noise,” this record will grab you by the collar and scream, “FEEL SOMETHING, DAMMIT.”
Mark May 23 in blood-red Sharpie. Cancel plans. Stock up on Advil. And when your neighbors bang on the wall? Blast Demoncracy louder. The revolution’s coming – and it’s wearing a Greek flag.
