Debut album, “Sakura”, out on May 23rd!
Sakura’s new album is ripping through the metal scene like a wrecking ball! This is a full-blown assault on the genre, leaving no survivors!
The wait is over. Athens-based metal juggernaut Bent by Sorrow is set to detonate the global metal scene with their long-anticipated debut album, Sakura. Dropping under Brutal Records, this release is a masterclass in dark and groove metal, packing an unrelenting sonic punch that will leave listeners breathless.
Blending the raw intensity of Deftones, Soilwork, and Disturbed, Bent by Sorrow has crafted a sound that’s both crushing and deeply emotive. Recorded and produced by the renowned Fotis Benardo at Devasoundz Studios, Sakura is a testament to their evolution—a ten-track onslaught of groove-infused fury that pushes the boundaries of modern metal.
Bent by Sorrow is on a meteoric rise, with recent singles amassing an 8600% surge in listeners. The blistering Never Fail, featuring two-time world boxing champion Medusa, and the crushing The Machine have already turned heads, proving the band’s ability to seamlessly merge pulverizing riffs with thought-provoking lyricism.
Dominating the Stage Renowned for their ferocious live performances, Bent by Sorrow has conquered stages alongside Harakiri for the Sky, Nile, and Crowbar, as well as headlining major shows across Greece. Their intense energy, bone-rattling sound, and commanding presence solidify them as one of the most electrifying acts in the modern metal landscape.
With Sakura primed to shake the foundations of the metal world, Bent by Sorrow is ready to claim their throne. If you crave heavy, emotive, and groove-laden metal, this is the album that will define 2025.
