Sorrow Plagues (UK): “Homecoming”

​Sorrow Plagues is an atmospheric black metal solo project launched by British David Lovejoy in 2014. After a series of singles and EP's David released in 2016the first album Sorrow Plagues, a typical album atmospheric black metal album, mawkish, and in the manner of Lustre and other similar bands. The sophomore album Homecoming is essentially very similar to its predecessor: cloying but less mannerist, with a slightly broader soundscape and more variation, such as a rock guitar solo in “Irreversible”. Honest and well done album, although not memorable for originality, but if you love bands like Lustre, this album is highly recommended.
