Sorrows, the brilliant debut album from Scottish Gothic Doomgazers, sold out pretty quickly on release, and its blend of Goth, Doom, Post Punk and Metal certainly gained the plaudits that followed.

‘Sorrows is a deeply powerful album, full of spectral beauty’ – Metal Hammer

‘Rage-filled, hypnotic and eternally dark’ – Decibel Magazine

‘a debut to die for full of velvety darkness and spellbinding Sorrows’ – Kerrang!

‘an esoteric concoction of goth rock, doom metal, and post-punk’ – The Needle Drop

Intricate vocal arrangements, heavy and harsh guitars, a mix of atmosphere and heft, it undoubtedly punches above its weight for a debut. Make no mistake, with ‘Sorrows’ Cwfen are already one of the names to watch in 2025. A mix of metallic doomgaze, epic gothic soundscapes and post punk attitude. Loud and crushing, yet sharp enough to stick in your head for days.

There are two kinds of heavy bands: the ones that make a lot of noise and the ones that drag you somewhere you didn’t know you needed to go. Cwfen (pronounced ‘Coven’) are the latter, and Sorrows is a record that doesn’t just crush – it haunts long after the final note.
