Killsorrow is a Polish melodic death metal band (however, it is very approximate definition) that was formed in 2008. Yet their debut album ‘Little Something For You To Choke’ due to certain circumstances was released only in November 2016 by Art of the Nights Productions record label.
The band’s line-up is: Michał Sokół (guitars, music), Paweł Sokołowski (guitars), Marcin Parandyk (vocals), Agnieszka Sokołowska (vocals), Marcin Szczurek (bass) and Kamil Kułaj (drums). All of them are experienced musicians, that played more than one hundred gigs and supported such bands like Vader, Electric Light Orchestra, Focus, Paradise Lost, Hate, Hunter, Kat, Acid Drinkers, TSA etc.
But let’s get back to the band’s debut album. ‘Little Something For You To Choke’ got many rapturous reviews with lots of positive feedbacks, and quite deservedly. The point here in its two distinctive features: melody and catchiness.
Melody here is a foundation stone, around which the band building everything. Music can vary from heavy to quite Scandinavian death metal (that’s why I said that “melodic death metal” is quite approximate definition), but it will be melodic.
Catchiness is another feature, which border much with stickiness. But, hey, I don’t say that it’s bad, not at all! There are no fillers in ‘Little Something For You To Choke’ – each song has its own flavor. And if sometime critics said about Mercyful Fate that “there are more riffs in one their song, than in whole Black Sabbath‘s album”, the sentence “Killsorrow has more catchy riffs and passages in an album, than some bands in their whole discography” will be correct in relation to this band. I definitely understand that it sounds disgustingly pathetic, but try to listen to this album yourself. And if you’ll surprisingly find that you’re listening to it for the ten times repeatedly, it’s not my fault!
In the end I want to remind one more time that ‘Little Something For You To Choke’ is a great debut album, that got critics’ high marks fully deservedly. And I really want to hope that next album will be at least at the same level (and not in eight years). But I’m sure that the musicians will cope with this difficult task.
