SORROWS PATH is a Doom Metal band, formed in Greece in 1993.  Following the release of a Promo Tape in 1996, personal and medical issues forced the band into hiatus and line-up changes, which persisted through 2006.  "Doom Philosophy" is the band's third full-length album, and the first on their new record label.  The album contains eleven tracks.  Following a lead-in instrumental, the first track with vocals is called "Tragedy."  It has an old-school melancholy feel to it.  Vocally, Angelos works with a deep vibrato that gives me the feeling that it is being sung by a vampire or other undead creature.  I love the swift meter change in the chorus as well.

"A Dance With the Dead" is the next track, and I am reminded of the early 1990's band FIGHT.  Some haunting vocal chants really give it an eerie quality overall.  "Brother of Life" is a bit more on the dark and heavy side of the spectrum, with a sludgy progress.  It definitely has a mood building quality.  Some other songs I want to highlight include the acoustic hope heard in "A King With a Crown of Thorns," which I thought was nicely balanced between despondence and a more uplifting experience at times.  I also like the more staccato approach in "The Venus and the Moon," as well as the riff passage that connects verse to chorus.  They stretch out a bit in "Epoasis," which l appreciate as well, focusing at times on building an evil sort of feeling, with more hushed vocals, and a suspense building rhythm.  But it settles a bit too quickly into the similar slow paced mood.  "Clouds Inside Me" is also an interesting piece, with a  little more crunch to the sound, and a fitting guitar solo that connects with the mood well.  The final track is also the longest, and it's an instrumental.  It is a solid fit to the close the album.  Here we can hear many different riff and time changes, incorporating many of the elements heard on the tracks that came before.

Overall, this is very pure Doom Rock/Metal, but the sound is uniquely theirs.  Instrumentation is keep fairly minimal, and the more still or single note held passages give it that grey atmosphere you come to expect in this genre.  Still, some of the tracks blended together for me, and there wasn't a lot of diversity on the album as a whole.
