Sorry... are an international band with members from Greece and Canada that plays a very depressive and suicidal form of black metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 compilation album "Years Of Depression" which consists of their 2019 and 2020 ep's "Failure Years Of Neglect Apathy" Bereavement Of Existence" and "Saudade".
Clean playing starts off the compilation and also returns on some of the later tracks while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Vocals are mostly high pitched depressive black metal screams along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken word parts.
Melodies can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing while a couple of the tracks are also long and epic in length. The second ep that is presented on the compilation that is presented also continues the musical direction of the first release along with some of the clean sections also adding in touches of depressive rock,
The riffing also starts getting more melodic on some of the later songs from the second and third ep's along with one track also adding in a brief use of growls. Most of the drumming also adds in more of a minimalist touch and most of the music sticks to a slow or mid tempo direction, on the last ep all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them, keyboards can also be heard briefly. and on the closing track a small amount of fast playing and blast beats is also utilized The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics cover pain, isolation and depression themes.
In my opinion Sorry... are a very great sounding depressive suicidal black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Apathy" "Claudia" and "As The Night Falls". 8 out of 10.
