Sorrowsight
Sorrowsight Biography Location: Odesa, UkraineGenre: Doom Metal/Gothic MetalWebsite: https://linktr.ee/sorrowsight Sorrowsight is a gothic death/doom metal band from Odesa, Ukraine. Theband’s name means “glance of sadness.” Sorrowsight was founded in 2019 by guitarist Pavlo (Paul) Korovchuk andvocalist Mariia (Mary) Diachenko. Pavlo found drummer VolodymyrOstapenko, who then invited bassist Artur Pholax to join the newly formed band. The initial lineup was typical: guitar, bass, drums, and vocals. Later, Volodymyr wanted to add a second guitarist for a denser sound. Mariiasuggested her acquaintance Lianna Kaushanskaya, who played both guitar and violin. Lianna proposed using the violin instead of the guitar and created the first violin parts for the songs. Pavlo, who wanted to add a symphonic element to the band’s sound, found this option intriguing. The other members also appreciated the lyrical sound of the violin, which helped define the band’sunique style. The contrast between melodious violin and powerful, explosiveelements (female extreme vocals, smashing drums, dense riffs, and piercingguitar solos), along with harmonious groove bass, makes their music appealing to both metalheads and connoisseurs of sublime classics. The band’s main influences include Ne Obliviscaris, Paradise Lost, Tiamat,MyDying Bride, Cradle of Filth, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Sins of Thy Beloved, Draconian. These bands inspire Sorrowsight to create their distinctive music. In 2021, during the release of their first two singles, “Cruel World” and“Enlightenment,” the band’s lineup changed. Georgy Kokkin was invited as thedrummer, Mykola Skvortsov as the bassist, and Natali Bakhtina as the violinist. This lineup began working on the songs for “Essence of Existence” and performed dozens of concerts. After Georgy left the band, activity paused for about half a year. Mykyta Pushkin then joined as the new drummer, and the band continued working on the album. Former bassist Artur Pholax also contributed to its creation.

Sunsinger
Sunsinger Biography Location: Dartmouth, MAGenre: Progressive MetalWebsite: facebook.com/praisethesunsinger Sunsinger is a progressive metal band established in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 2017. Their sound is a contemporary blend of progressive and melodic elements combined with in-your-face riffs and breakdowns tucked neatly under vocalist Carrie Brum’s range of operatic high notes down to guttural screams. Guitarists James Frost and Chris Prendergast alternate from building pillars of sound through distinctive rhythm and lead pairings to quick and impactful harmonies. Bassist Dvstin Black brings the heavy with slamming bass power, bringing chunky rhythm stabs and chaotic tapping passages into the mix. Drummer EJ Gellar is an absolute monster, keeping the constant speed up with fast drum rolls mixed into the mathy time signature switchups.

Sharone
Sharone Biography Location: Denver, COGenre: Dark RockWebsite: sharone-music.com harone erupted onto the Denver music scene as a solo artist in 2014 playing local DIY venues; since then she has gone on to play venues such as Marquis Theater, Bluebird Theater, and Gothic Theater, playing festivals, and opening for bands such as One-Eyed-Doll, The Birthday Massacre, Fuel, Saving Abel, Davey Suicide, Tantric, Hell’s Belles, Stitched Up Heart, and Puddle Of Mudd. The atmospheric and melodramatic music of Evanescence and the psychedelic blues of Black Sabbath inspired Sharone to start performing her music live with a full rock band backing her. Despite sustaining a dark and melancholy tone on recordings, the gothic artist’s live shows are nothing short of energetic, full of heavy piano riffs, pulsing rhythms, and enthralling theatrics. From emerging from a coffin to jumping off of monitors and captivating contortions, Sharone captures the interest of each audience member through her piercing stage chemistry with her live musicians, and her ever-growing theatrics. In the spring of 2017, the singer left her mark on the Denver music scene with the release of her first rock album ‘Storm’. Following the release, dove deeper into her writing, and came back stronger than ever with the reincarnation of her dark sound: ‘Enchiridion of Nightmares’ (2018). “Like a series of dark fairy tales, Enchiridion of Nightmares the new album from dark [rocker] Sharone, captivates, seduces, and haunts. Each of its notes, let alone songs, comes with a shadow to [her] beauty, melancholy to [her] light, and intimacy to [her] grandeur with it all colluding in an adventure which just steals the imagination from everyday reality. There is a rich cinematic and theatre-esque feel to Enchiridion of Nightmares which equally adds to its captivation; indeed its songs entwine an influence of horror movies, vintage and modern, into their personal nightmares. With just as richly layered and dramatic sounds to its exploration, the album is a persistent unveiling of new twists and shadows listen by listen. On our first meeting intrigue soaked the pleasure, through a couple more captivation, each subsequent listen leading to the inescapable bewitchment these words spring from.” -The Ringmaster Review Sharone followed up the release with three exhilarating summer and fall tours, reaching audiences across the western, central, and eastern United States, and spent the remainder of 2019 recording her third studio album ‘Reflection’, which was released December 7th, 2019. ”[Sharone] showed that she was adept at harnessing the chaos on her previous couple of albums and she’s really turning the gothic-art-pop-rock up on her latest long-player. It’s packed with dark fairytales and swooping riffs as well as more theatrical invention that you’d find at the Royal Shakespeare Company.” – The Crack Magazine “In summary absolute female power, which reminds of Evanescence and Tarja Turunen. This talented singer makes you curious about her live performances!” – Stormbringer.at “Sharone really pushes out the emotions and passion she has for music with this album. It is full of fantastic piano chords and guitar riffs that really show off her band’s talent as a whole. I am excited to see what she releases in the future and will keep an eye out for it.” In the Spring of 2020, Sharone signed with Devil Inside Records, and began working on her fourth studio album. The first single “Can We Pretend” was released July 24th, and has been the young rocker’s most successful release to date. This unique rock artist is destined for success in the metal and goth rock realm. Look out for more new music from Sharone coming very soon.
