Paris-based Soror Dolorosa creates raw and hungry gothic rock inspired by post-punk, death rock and cold wave. French for ‘Sister Pain’, Soror Dolorosa was formed in 2001 by vocalist Andy Julia. Taking its name from the novel Bruges-la-morte” by Flemish symbolist writer Georges Rodenbach, Soror Dolorosa channels its inspiration’s strong undercurrents of passion, nostalgia and mourning, transferring those powerful emotional states into its music and live performances. These signature elements of the group’s sonic formula are heard in its muscular songs, jangling guitars, overdriven bass lines, driving rhythms and Julia’s distinctive, dramatic vocal style. Four years in the making, “Apollo” is Soror Dolorosa’s crowning achievement; a bombastic dystopian world view encapsulated in dark popcraft. Melodic and memorable, the album shines a light on both stunning beauty and haunting sadness with Julia’s foreboding, prophet of doom baritone soaring on down a long and lonesome highway full of baroque, exquisite anguish. The four sides of the double LP are presented like the passing of the four seasons, creating an audio life cycle. With Soror Dolorosa, everything starts and ends within this ancestral conception. Long associated with acts such as Alcest, Les Discrets and Lantlos, it makes perfect sense for Prophecy to welcome Julia and Soror Dolorosa to its family of artists. Long compared to standard-bearers such as Fields of the Nephilim, The Sisters of Mercy, Joy Division and Bauhaus, it too makes sense that Soror Dolorosa continues to grow its sound and vision; and with “Apollo”, they have taken that very next step. For the band, “Apollo” isn’t just a new album, it’s a spiritual quest. “Apollo” will be released as a digipak CD, gatefold 2xLP (on 180g vinyl, including special vinyl mastering) and as a deluxe 3xCD/DVD artbook (measuring 28×28 cm, including 72 pages) including the “Rive Gauche” live album on 2xCD and DVD featuring 110 minutes of concert footage. In tandem with “Apollo”, Prophecy will also reissue Soror Dolorosa’s entire back catalog which includes “Severance” (2009, with unreleased bonus track), “Blind Scenes” (2011) and “No More Heroes” (2013).
