We have had the pleasure of working with The Resurrection Sorrow various times within the last year, and they have always delivered great music for everyone to enjoy. The band is lead by Alex Dementia, who wears the Rock N Roll flag with pride and respect! Today they announced that they will release a digital version of their new EP dubbed "The Scorpion Savior Sessions". Here is the Official press release:
The band recorded and the tracks for the new EP over this past Winter. Once again they enlisted hometown NYC engineer Joe Hogan (Nebula, The Atomic Bitchwax), who recorded TRS' 2009 debut album, Hour Of The Wolf, and had the tracks mastered by Fred Kevorkian (Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson). The soulful and explosive tracks on the EP show THE RESURRECTION SORROW progressing in both more dynamic and aggressive directions on their latest material, while solidly showcasing the soulful, doom-influenced metallic crunch the band are popular with their fans for delivering. The release also once again bears cover art by Seldon Hunt (Nachtmystium, Neurosis, Sunn O))), Isis, etc.), who was also responsible for the art on Hour Of The Wolf.
The Scorpion Savior Sessions Track List: 1. Pale Kiss (Endless Storm) 2. Scorpion Savior 3. Burning Halo
TRS on this recording was: Alex Dementia - Vox | Alex Coelho - Bass | Louie Gasparro - Drums | Jeff Jardine - Guitar
The Scorpion Savior Sessions is a tide-me-over release for fans, while the band solidify info on their upcoming full-length follow-up featuring all-new material, being scheduled for release later in 2011. More info will follow in the coming weeks.
On Saturday May 7, 2011, history was made at The Dark Arts Music Festivus. While the day started with one of the bands dropping out from the show, we are true believers that everything happens for a reason and were not going to let a small dent take away our ultimate goal of making the event a complete success. We immediately made the decision to not bring another band in, because there simply wasn't enough time and we were very confident that the remaining bands could seamlessly take control of the show.
Upon arriving to The Trash Bar, we had a chance to enjoy a Newcastle Beer before the artistic storm arrived in Brooklyn. Once the artists arrived and started hanging up their amazing work, we immediately knew that it was going to be a very special night.
At 8 PM, we opened the doors and our founder Jo Schüftan kicked off the night by blasting some Ozzy through the PA while the crowd started packing the venue and indulging themselves with some free PBR and Well Liquor (courtesy of The Trash Bar).
Once everyone settled in had their guts filled with PBR, Alissa Shimansky from Brutal Bitches Productions took over the stage and welcomed Olum on stage. Joining the band on stage was artist Lauryn Yovino, who created a very cool piece of art. The crowd definitely liked the mix of art and music at the same time. We got to say that for being their first show ever, the Olum boys did a fantastic job. Its refreshing to see a new band take their music very seriously (they were the first band to arrive) both on and off stage. Up next was Left In Ruins, a band who brought their furious Metal and good vibe to The Dark Arts Music Festivus. They got the pit spinning out of control, while the amazing Joey Hernandez created a sick piece of art.
The Resurrection Sorrow has been making a lot of noise and its not in vain. Lead by Alex Dementia, the band was a perfect fit in between Left In Ruins and Desolate. They sounded tight and groovy as hell, and having James Groeling by their side inspiring the crowd to headbang like Cliff Burton was a perfect match. Then when the crowd thought they might get to catch their breath, Desolate stepped on stage to celebrate their 10th year anniversary.
After having to cancel their 10th anniversary show due to the closure of Ace Of Clubs a few days before the show, we immediately reached out to them in order to book them for the Dark Arts Music Festivus. Once they confirmed, we knew it was going to be a great night for the Heavy Music scene in New York City. The band kicked off their chaotic set with full force and didn't rest until their final song. During their set the debauchery was in full effect, specially when the clock hit midnight and it was Jose Rivera's (Desolate's frontman) birthday! Our founder Jo Schüftan got on stage and sang him a Metallic Happy Birthday, then the shots started pouring.
The statement that Desolate, The Resurrection Sorrow, Left In Ruins and Olum made reflects the state of the scene in New York City, in which everyone is helping each other out and putting the pedal to the Metal. We could not be any happier! Thanks to all the bands, artists, Brutal Bitches Productions, and the awesome staff at The Trash Bar! HORNS, THUMBS and BEERS up! More cowbell anyone?!
Here is what people had to say about The Dark Arts Music Festivus:
"At the beginning of the night, I had a message from my family telling me that my father was called in for a lungs transplant, due to emphysema. I was shocked and needed the energy of the crowd to give me hope and courage. Putting this show together was a lot of hard work and it didn't stop until I left the bar. It was all worth it and the energy in the room empowered me. Desolate made me very proud! I got to say that if it wasn't for The Trash Bar being a source of inspiration for anyone who enters the bar, the events we have hosted there would have not been a huge success. After the show, we made sure everything was set for the party THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!" - Jo Schüftan (founder of Horns Up Rocks).
"Desolate would like to thank ALL the peeps who came out for our 10th anniversary show Saturday night! Special thanks to Horns Up Rocks & Brutal Bitches Productions for putting on another killer show! The pit was absolutely INSANITY! Our brothers in Left In Ruins were noo joke as usual. Well, till next time... Let's give it a big one Wooooooooo!!!!!! Thank you." - DESOLATE
"AWESOME SHOW LAST NIGHT! THANK YOU Joseph Schüftan, I hope your father continues to recover successfully! And THANK YOU to The Trash Bar for providing an amazing venue for the NYC METAL scene! AND SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR ARTISTS Joey James Hernandez, James Groeling, Lauryn Yovino, Joe Janaro AND Jason Tamvakis! AND BIG UPS THANKS AND RESPECT TO THE BANDS THAT CONTINUE TO DELIVER TIME N TIME AGAIN, Left In Ruins, DESOLATE, The Resurrection Sorrow, & OLOM." - Alissa Shimansky (Brutal Bitches Productions)
"Had a BLAST at The Trash Bar, L.I.R. will definitely be returning to Brooklyn asap to tear it up again!!! Thanks to all who came out and supported, and huge props to DESOLATE for sticking around for 10 years and bringing the Metal in NYC!!!" - Left In Ruins
"I can honestly say that tonight was freaking awesome. How many people can say that they got to go to a Metal concert with some amazing bands, drink large quantities of liquor for free, meet new people and paint to live music from the headlining band... And get paid for it?! Who's got a better life than that, hell yeah...... Also a lil buzzed at the moment. :)" - James Groeling
"Signs it was a great night. My neck hurts like I got punched in it. Crumbled up money in my pockets. Being able to smell the Jameson on myself. Checking the memory card and realizing I took 500+ pics last night." BetYouIDid (Official photographer of The Dark Arts Music Festivus)
"Great show I had a wonderful time! Thank you for letting people know Heavy Metal and Hard Rock is not dead!" - Dagna (Staten Island)
Do you like music that stimulates your senses, and at the same time crushes your ear drums and soothes your soul? And do you like art that infects your vision and ignites your own creativity? Well, Horns Up Rocks and Brutal Bitches Productions have joined forces again and on May 7 they are taking over The Trash Bar in Brooklyn.
Joining us that night will be New York's own Desolate, who will be celebrating their 10th year anniversary. Returning to Brooklyn will be Long Island's Misery, who recently released a killer album called "Evil Is Crowned". Also performing that night will be The Resurrection Sorrow who at the recent Horns Up Rocks showcase, proved that they are ready for bigger and better things. Crushing your senses will be Left In Ruins and Olom, two bands that will get the event jump started with a lethal dose of adrenaline!
Wait, there's more! In addition there will be LIVE painting on stage by accomplished NYC underground Artists: Joey James Hernandez, Lauryn Yovino, and James Groeling. All this artists will also be showcasing their works alongside the dark and evocative Art displays of acclaimed NYC Macabre Artist and Photographer, KING ZOMBIE (Jason Tamvakis), and NYC Graffiti Artist, Joseph Janaro.
The event will be hosted by Alissa Shimansky of Brutal Bitches Productions and DJed by Jo Schüftan of Horns Up Rocks!
When Jose Rivera (singer/cowbell master) and Jeffrey Martinez (guitarist) first met, they immediately felt a magnetic musical force between them. After a few jam sessions, they felt the necessity of starting a fresh sounding Heavy Music band. Combining elements of Thrash Metal, Hardcore and even Latino music, Desolate possess a unique sound that has helped them survive the decline of the music industry in the last 10 years.
Apart from their unique flavor of music, they are a great crushing live band. This key element has helped them to stay relevant within the New York City Heavy Music scene, especially when a lot of real good bands have surfaced in the tri-state area. The main reason why they have persevered for 10 years is because when they started out, the scene was somewhat diluted. Therefore, their mission became to keep the underground music scene alive and well.
10 years ago they debuted at the legendary New York City club CBGB’s, which was the mecca of Hardcore and Punk. Thankfully once CBGB’s closed, The Trash Bar in Brooklyn quickly adopted the CB’s vibe and ever since then they've been keeping the scene going strong. On May 7, 2011, Desolate will make history as they celebrate their 10 year anniversary at The Dark Arts Music Festivus.
The event will take place on Saturday May 7 at The Trash Bar in Brooklyn. Joining Desolate will be Long Islands’ Misery, The Resurrection Sorrow, Olom and Left In Ruins. Additionally, we will have some tremendous artists that will be performing live while the bands are jamming. Their will also be artists displaying some badass artwork throughout the bar. Oh and get this, Alissa Shimansky from Brutal Bitches Productions will be hosting and Horns Up Rocks founder Jo Schüftan will be cranking the best Heavy Music in between bands. These two maniacs combined, are a recipe for an amazing night! So bring your cowbell and come celebrate the legacy of Desolate! \m/
After the success of the March Metal Beatdown, we have been asked to bring the mayhem back to Brooklyn's Trash Bar! On May 7, 2011 we are joining forces once again with the awesome ladies of Brutal Bitches Productions! Not only do we have 5 amazing live bands that will please your ear drums, but we will also have some amazing live art that will make your jaw drop.
Additionally, the mighty Desolate will be celebrating their 10th year anniversary that same night! Joining Desolate at "The Dark Arts Music Festivus" will be Misery, The Resurrection Sorrow, and Left In Ruins. The event will be hosted by the amazing Alissa Shimansky from Brutal Bitches Productions and DJed by Jo Schüftan of Horns Up Rocks!
Here are all the details:
Lineup: - Desolate (10 Year Anniversary show): While many bands have come and go, while some musicians have risen and fallen, while some artists have given up their careers in music and various venues have shut down. New York City's Desolate has stayed true to the game for 10 years of punishing brutality! Come celebrate their 10th year anniversary!
- Misery: At present time the Heavy Music scene in the tri-state area is going through a revitalizing process, in which we are starting to see more and more bands stepping up their game and getting away from a set formula. One of those bands is Misery, a band that after 10 years of hard work, is finally starting to get the recognition they deserve. After a successful tour with Devildriver, Misery is ready to take over Brooklyn!
- The Resurrection Sorrow: Favoring raw emotion over contrived calculation, the NYC four-piece craft songs of anthemic proportions. Using stone-heavy handed riffing, barbaric percussive destruction and brooding, occult-inspired vocals by singer Alex Dementia, TRS has trademarked a hooking catchiness not easily ignored.
- Left In Ruins: Over the course of the last five years, Left in Ruins has sought long and hard to find the most brutally talented musicians. Throw Luigi Cilento (Vocals/Guitar), Jorge Naranjo (Lead Guitar), Jaymz Delisle (Guitar), and Ben Policello (Drums), into a blender with Iron Maiden, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Slayer, Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Pantera, and you will be left ‘with a ferocious blend of groove-based death metal and thuggish hardcore.’ – Metal Hammer
OLOM: A band that can help redefine the direction of Heavy Metal. In the midst of soaring guitars, thunderous bass lines and gritty lyrics, they are tasteful and unpretentious. This is a group that is not afraid to take risks and fearless of saying the uncomfortable things. At ease with being themselves, OLOM is a psychological representation of all that is Metal. Come check this great band out!
PLUS LIVE ART on stage by accomplished NYC underground Artists: Joey James Hernandez, Lauryn Yovino, and James Groeling. All this artists will also be showcasing their works alongside the dark and evocative Art displays of acclaimed NYC Macabre Artist and Photographer, KING ZOMBIE (Jason Tamvakis), and NYC Graffiti Artist, Joseph Janaro.
Come and witness what promises to be a cornucopia of creative mediums, surely to inspire and stimulate all of your darkest Metal senses. \m/
The story of how we came across The Resurrection Sorrow is very heart- warming (and no we are not being emo). Last summer, their singer Alex Dementia contacted us about helping him promote a benefit show he was organizing for his little cousin who is suffering from cancer. Without knowing Alex personally, we decided to help him out because there is nothing more Metal than helping others. The successful event took place at Jugs-N-Strokers in Long Island and it featured live music by The Resurrection Sorrow and The Sex Slaves.
From that moment on we wanted to do a show together with The Resurrection Sorrow because their original music and humble attitude needs to be experienced by the masses. When we finally booked a show together, the band had to enter the studio to record three new songs in what they have labeled "The Scorpion Savior Sessions". The trio of songs were recorded with Joe Hogan (Nebula, The Atomic Bitchwax), and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (Iggy Pop, Willie Nelson). The three songs they recorded are titled ”Pale Kiss,” “Burning Halo” and “Scorpion Saviour". Do your ears a favor and listen to them right here!
After months of exchanging messages with the boys, we are real stoked to announce that on Monday March 28th we are presenting a FREE show featuring an exclusive live performance by The Resurrection Sorrow at Fontana's in New York City. The band will be playing their three new songs, along with some songs from their previous album titled "Hour Of The Wolf".
Here are all the details:
- Date/Time: Monday March 28 at 7:30 PM - Location: Fontana's (105 Eldridge Street) - Live performance by The Resurrection Sorrow - Hosted by Horns Up Rocks founder Jo Schüftan - Cost: FREE
As we all know breast cancer is a very serious disease and it affects millions worldwide. We believe that being part of the Rock N Roll community comes with huge responsibilities, and whenever someone reaches out for help we will step up and help out. We did it at Duff's Brooklyn for the Ronnie James Dio "Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund" fund raiser, and we are doing it again on Saturday September 4th for "The When- I Awareness Rock Show".
The event will feature live music by The Penguin Revolution, Sex Slaves and The Resurrection Sorrow. Additionally, there will plenty of food, amazing raffles, great music and t-shirts. All proceeds will go to the "When-I Organization". You are all invited and remember: YOU can make a difference.
We have had the pleasure of working with The Resurrection Sorrow various times within the last year, and they have always delivered great music for everyone to enjoy. The band is lead by Alex Dementia, who wears the Rock N Roll flag with pride and respect! Today they announced that they will release a digital version of their new EP dubbed "The Scorpion Savior Sessions". Here is the Official press release:
