The Sorrowing

- The Sorrowing

Many years back, Sean and Pete used to jam out on our electric guitars (before Leafblade was conceived), as Pete was interested in a lot of Sean’s earlier metal-ish pieces. one day they recorded the guitar parts for “The Sorrowing” on an old Tascam 4 Track, just for fun.

For quite a few years Pete mentioned to Sean that he should put down the vocals on the track (so at least he knew what they were meant to sound like), but they never quite got round to it until about 2006 or so.

Sean recorded a 1 track vocal line for me, and allowed Pete to experiment (for fun) on his track to see what he came up with. Pete’s influences came in to play here, drawing ideas from the likes of Devin Townsend, Queen, Alice in Chains, and a few other bands he respects a lot for their vocal work.
