THE SORROW are confirmed for another festival - they will headline the Friday night of the BurnOutFestival... (>>> dates)

22.05.2010: The 3rd album (THE SORROW)

THE SORROW are finalising the studiowork on their third album!

13 brand new tracks in hand THE SORROW together with their producer Toni Meloni entered the Principal Studios (Senden/GER). After only 4 weeks the recordings for their third album are almost finisched.

The calmness and the absolute isolation of the the studios have served our metalheads from Austria obviously well. After the constant evolution from their debut "Blessings From A Blackened Sky" (2007) to "Origin Of The Storm" (2009) the - selftitled - third work of Andi, Dominik, Mätze and Tobi promises to become another musically milestone for the band.

"We ourselves are overwhelmed", says gitarist Andi Mäser. "The songs have become epic beyond belief. The album is more progressive than the first two releases. A lot of people will be surprised. 100% THE SORROW, but in a way one never has heard us before." With "Heart Of A Lion" the band has a real metal track with a brute groove on hand, but further titles will not be revealed right now.

The third album by THE SORROW will be in stores probably in late Autumn 2010.

At this point we just want to remind you of the constantly updated THE SORROW video podcast at iTunes, including among others a complete concert recorded in their homebase, Dornbin's T.E.C. Hohenems, last December.

18.05.2010: No Gods (JESUS ON EXTASY)

17.02.2010: Lisa (XANDRIA)

Original statement of XANDRIA:

"We have good and bad news for you. First the bad ones: It now appears that Kerstin Bischof unfortunately can´t be the permanent new singer of Xandria. Due to occupational and private reasons she wants to concentrate on her non-musical career in the future and cannot support Xandria the way it would be necessary. We wish her all the best for the future!

So here and now we are searching for a new singer again, details for applications follow in a few days.

We know that you are waiting for a new album, and we are very sorry for keeping you waiting even longer for the new songs, with which we actually wanted to enter the recording studio now.

The good news is that we will play the coming concerts nevertheless, cause our old singer Lisa Middelhauve has agreed to step in for them. But she will not enter the band again, so this will be an unexpected last opportunity for many fans to experience her on stage with Xandria once more!

Beside that new shows in Greece are confirmed... (>>> dates)
