CULT OF SORROW - Invocation of the Lucifer review



CULT OF SORROW - Invocation of the Lucifer

Black Doomba Records




So whenever I here a doom band who go beyond the SABBATH-ian influence and just shoot for homage I think of a Canadian band called DAYGLO ABORTIONS. Many years ago that band did a cool song called "(Acting Like) Black Sabbath". You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrNUlRutnhY



Now with that said yeah CULT OF SORROW are heavily influenced by the early days of the SAB-4. In their case it's a good thing. On this their sophomore full length, the Cincinnati, Ohio four piece display a song writing craft which is widely infectious. The grooves, riffs and vocals all invoke the doom and gloom of old. And yet even with the obvious influence it does come across as fresh as opposed to some other acts who simply run through the numbers. All in all it's an amazing release.
