Soror Dolorosa
No More Heroes
Northern Silence - Beneath Grey Skies
Here we are my
friends, new year and the first review of the year and the first
review in english. I had the oportunity to see Soror Dolorosa live in Madrid a few months ago (a great live show, believe me), actually it was my last gig in Spain before moving to Finland, i met the guys personally and we shared some words
there. Soror Dolorosa has become one of those iconic bands of the
goth undergroud in Europe and defenitely somekind of French heroes
without a doubt. Soror Dolorosa is one of those bands that went very
quickly from a newbie to a classic; a really important name in the
undergroud nowadays. With No More Heroes the band stepped into a new
stage. Different songs and structures than the previous works. It's
like the band mutates with every album, doing it better and better;
like evolution of everything. Definitely the band left their "punk"
influences that they show us in their first EP far away. Compared to their debut album, No More Heroes is more easy to
listen. Every single track on this album is full of life. The most
powerful tracks are the kind of tracks you can burn on the dance
floor, and the gloomy tracks are full of great emotive atmosphere.
That makes the album complete. It's really hard to catch only a few
tracks and say "I will keep this in my pocket", because all
tracks are really brilliant.
We are in front of a more melodic Soror
Dolorosa, they have re-invented themselves, and I can tell you, this
album will surprise many people, in a good or in a bad way. Andy
Julia's singing is better than ever, showing us new faces of his
vocal work. The band enters a new universe of textures and melted
sounds, that makes this album unique, definitely one of the best
albums of this decade, and probably a big candidate to be the best
album of 2013. No More Heroes is honey for your ears, a soft warm
breeze touching your skin, and definitely this album has to be in
your collection – a must-have. Enjoy the new era of Soror Dolorosa.
It’s really hard to describe the sound of Soror Dolorosa, not too
much cold wave, not too much goth rock – they are just Soror
Dolorosa. Looking forward to seeing them live once again.
Love it or hate it
– they are back with astonishing album that will make a lot of talk....
Attention
collectors! Vinyl edition will be released later this year.
