“Divine Sorrow” is a progressive hard rock band from St. Louis, MO comprised of four talented musicians, Bryan Chappell (lead vocals and bass guitar), Matt Depew (lead guitar), Mike Sikorski (guitar) and Lee Skyles (drums).
In July of 2011 Divine Sorrow started playing live gigs in St. Louis, MO and surroundings pleasing the crowds with powerful heavy rock music and meaningful lyrics.
Lead singer and bass player Bryan Chappell is the band’s gifted lyricist. Chappell is well known for his dark and tuneful writing style mostly described as an open journey to deep thinking.
On May 18th, 2012 Divine Sorrow released the first full-length CD “Tales Of Descension”. It’s an eight tracks album recorded at “Saw Horse Studios” in St. Louis, MO and engineered by Jason McEntire. “Tales Of Descension” was musically produced by Divine Sorrow and Jason McEntire.
This album is without a doubt the result of hard work and wise songwriting. “Tales Of Descension” offers the kind of tunes that invite the listener to sing along right from the start especially on tracks like “Judas”, “Everything” and “Asunder”.
These four talented rockers certainly know what playing rock music means. They know what they do and are by far clever at the time of reaching the highest point in songs like “Creeping/Shadows & Sorrow”.
