On a cold foggy morning of 2006's last days, Retribution came up with
the idea of making songs until he made one worth listening to on a
melancholic and ghastly beautiful morning like that, should he pass
away.
He had no experience with recording, making songs with all the metal
music instruments, no experience with singing, or with bands, save
short terms of guitar playing in 1,5 bands back 10 years ago. However
he had all the inspiration in the world, the talent and the feelings
and the knowledge of music to express them. He came up with a name that
alone spoke for his emotions; Sorrow Without Tears. Or, "Sorg Uten
Tårer".
And so he began gathering the equipment needed for his one man metal
band, and knowledge in his self-taught recording techniques. Finally,
by August 2007, his debut was recorded and named "Bladesong". Black
Panther Metal, Kaisa, and Moonsilver followed with 1 month intervals,
investing his spare time from university in unmatched creativity.
As he began paying closer attention to his studies he released 2
more chapters. Grave Songs in February and Est Sularus Oth Mithas in
July.
After a summer break where he was busy with his studies and
summer practice, necessary obligations of rotten mortal life,
Retribution comes up with a concept album inspired by one of his most
favorite books, by "today's Poe", Richard Matheson; "What Dreams May
Come".
Shadow Symphony, the 7th release of Sorg Uten Tårer, 14
months after its debut , is a 40 minute long song, pulling oblivious
listeners to the depths of despair and melancholy in a dark hell, as
once described by the original author of the inspired book.
And the
Dark Bard continues his journey to create "that song", offering the
melodies he summoned from Deneir's heart, the rhythms he borrowed from
Thor's thunder, with words from a mute poet's dreams; to those who
would sit round his camp fire and listen. And when that day comes to
pass, he may not cease to exist, but be remembered, forever, in his
songs.
