Kingdom of Sorrow

Boasting a line up that includes members of such influential metal bands as Hatebreed, Down, Crowbar, and more, Kingdom Of Sorrow has arrived to stake its claim as the band that lives up to its super group status. The seeds of Kingdom Of Sorrow were sown over a decade ago when a 16 year old Hatebreed front man (and avid Crowbar fan) Jamey Jasta introduced himself to Down/Crowbar guitarist Kirk Windstein at a show at Pearl Street in Northampton, Massachusetts.
