The second coming of Sorcerer has seen them embrace a cleaner and more melodic epic doom sound, with the band largely renouncing the dark and raw output of their early days. The harsh vocals that are sporadically heard on Lamenting Of The Innocent do not change that fact, and this album is more on the polished and tame side.

Since I did a review of Sorcerer's previous album, I'd figure I could do one for their 2020 release as well. Did Lamenting Of The Innocent live up to the high expectations I had set for it? For the most part, yes. Let's discuss in further detail, shall we?

If this one is going to be as good as the previous record, then it will definitely end up in the top region of my albums of the year list.

The vocalist's style gives this a bit of a power/doom metal vibe. Pretty enjoyable overall, although not particularly convinced by the harsh vocals

Best songs: Lamenting of the innocence. Stand sout, half ballad.
This is good band, complex composition , good lyrics, vocals, seems all knows what to do, how to play that meloedy sounds good and lyric are made perfectly. This is adult band , hard to get unless you're not doomster. Candlemass was easier to get in, not this, but its good band, like manowar sings all men plays on 10. Its here.

After 2 listens... I like it a lot. It doesn't reach the height of the previous album. But still This is some good stuff. The flow of the previous one was slightly better imo and it misses that absolutely brilliant track like Unbearable sorrow on the previous one. Though "The Hammer Of Witches" and "Lamenting Of The Innocent" are really great tracks.

This is the kind of doom metal that I can listen to again and again. And I will do that the next couple of weeks. Who knows maybe this one will also grow even more on me like the previous one.

Not a bad album but neither as good as previous. Seems to be more melodious.

The first two tracks (not including the instrumental one) is very very good. So is the last track. It has an epic ending. Very epic and melodious in nature. The subject matter is also very good, it deals with witch burning, atrocities against women who were suspected as witches in the past and finally the "witches" turning towards Lucifer and Satan for help.
