The two guys were inspired by their favorite bands: Memento Mori, Solitude Aeturnus and Candlemass. After several changes of the band’s line-up, Angelos Ioannidis (vocals) and Kostas Farmakis (drums) joined Sorrows Path. On January 1995 the band released their debut demo ‘Sorrows Path’. During 1994 and 1995 Sorrows Path performed live for several times in Athens (2 lives at An Club, etc).In the autumn of 1995 Kostas Farmakis (drums) decided to leave the band and Sorrows Path were in search of a new drummer. On November 1995 fate struck the band. The band’s founder Takis Drakopoulos died because of a serious brain disease. Angelos and Kostas decided to continue and at the end of 1995 Stavros Giannakos (bass) and Gregory Vlachos (drums) joined Sorrows Path. On May 1996 Sorrows Path released ‘promo ’96’, a promo tape for record labels. During 1996 and 1997 Sorrows Path were in touch with record labels to record a full album and performed live again for several times in Athens (Qualisound Festival, Rainbow Club, etc). In 1997 they also made a handy recording of some new songs, but they never released it. From 1998 and then all the members of the band had military engagements, so they decided to stop all activities for 2 years. In the new millennium fate struck again. The other band’s founder Kostas Salomidis was almost completely paralyzed because of a neck problem which was caused in the past after a serious motorcycle accident... After 5 (!) years of courage, effort, medical help, and the help of God or fate, of course, Kostas managed to regain some of the power of his hands, so he was able to make some noise on his guitar again. The members of the band were enthusiastic about the idea to jam again after 7 (!!!) years, and they did on May 2005. At the end of 2005, the band started to work on their old songs, trying to refresh their memory and they have in view to work on some new songs. They also release this CD, where they digitally remastered their debut demo ‘Sorrows Path’ and their promo tape ‘promo ’96’. “The rampant fantasy in a time of mind elevation cannot lead there, the most depressing feeling after a terrifying experience cannot show you the way, only the thought of our beginning and our destination in this journey called life can show you the way to the sorrow’s path” Website: www.geocities.com/sorrowspathmusic e-mail: sorrowspathmusic@yahoo.gr SORROWS PATH Angelos Ioannidis Zagorion 11 104 45 Kato Patisia Athens GREECE This article comes from Holy Sword http://www.truemetal.org/holysword/ The URL for this story is: http://www.truemetal.org/holysword/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=118
