kingdom of sorrow - behind the blackest tears

finally i found me a copy of the second kingdom of sorow album. after i had the self-titled debut for years, i snagged this grey marble vinyl sucker off ebay eventually. record is superb just as suspected. wouldn't it be great if kirk windstein and jamey jasta were to team up again? it's been eleven years now, so i doubt it... but who knows... relapse records and 1.000 copies pressed. 2010.

kirk windstein - dream in motion

what kirk windstein touches becomes at least solid and even more often plain brilliant. that guy has such a creative output that i always stand in awe when i see the list of albums, he was involved in. because i consider myself a fan of the riffmaster, it was a no-brainer to me to pick up his solo work.

i expected material in the vein of crowbar, especially after i listened to the single "dream in motion". the whole album is a bit quiter and a bit more experimental than that song and i really enjoy it, although i prefer the stuff from his main band. cool cover art (with the lettering in type o negative fashion) and lovely ultra clear with orange/blue/grey splatter double vinyl with etched d-side round out the package. e one. 2020.
