Rooted in the glooming territories of human expression, SorrowfulAngels is a Greek/Polish band that manages to put out a combination of influences which form the solid foundation of their Dark Heavy Rock power.
Originally formed in 1999, SorrowfulAngels gathered as friends sharing the same need for emotional expression and soon started to land gigs in the greek underground club scene presenting their initial atmospheric material and gradually making a name for themselves.
During these years the band gigs sporadically, while in 2002 they manage to land some more high-profile gigs, like the one in the Chania Festival in Crete where they shared the stage with acts like Anathema, UDO, Crossover and Deviser.
Unfortunately, though, internal problems started occurring and the band was put into hiatus by the founder of the band, Dariusz Sipiora, until everything was settled. After that, the sound of silence plagued the SorrowfulAngels realm…
7 years later, after a long hiatus and numerous lineup changes the band is finally back fresh and strong. With a steady lineup now on which conststs of:
Dariusz Sipiora (Guitar)
Kostas Katikos (Vocals)
Dion Christodoulatos (Guitar)
George Mundaneas (Bass)
Jim Stamatis (Drums)
In 2009 they sign a record deal with Sleaszy Rider Records, , enter the studio and finally record some brand new material making a very dynamic debut and signaling a new start as well as evolutionary changes in the composition.
Their first full album called "Ship In Your Trip", which is due for release by Sleaszy Rider Records, contains 10 darkly brooding melancholic songs which showcase how much the band has evolved throughout these painful years.
Most notable mentions - Mike Galiatsos (Snowblind,Nightfall), as a special guest in "How To Lose A Star" and Natalie Shau (Lacuna Coil, Poisonblack, W.E.B etc) for her beautiful artwork.
Along with the recordings , a videoclip of the song “Denial” directed by Bob Katsionis (Firewind), was made for the promotion of the upcoming album receiving very positive reviews.
During this same year the band continues to gig extensively throughout Greece, filling the gaps of the previous years. They support Gothic Rock Icons, Star Industry , make appearances in the national TV stations, while at the same time are handpicked by legendary Claus Meine (Scorpions), himself to enter the final round of the Scorpions contest held in Greece. It was the first time ever in the country that a Gothic Rock/Metal band ever achieved such an honor.
