UK epic doom metal band DESOLATE PATHWAY are delighted to announce a guest guitarist for their upcoming album: none other than Kostas Salomidis of Greek stalwarts SORROWS PATH. The new material comes off the back of last year’s Valley Of The King, which garnered praise from both sides of the pond. Brutiful Metal Radio declared that “Desolate Pathway have done what many bands in this genre fail to do and have made an album that early Candlemass would be proud of.”
Guitarist Vince Hempstead commented: “We would like to announce with honour that Kostas Salomidis from the amazing Greek Doom band Sorrows Path has recorded 2 guest guitar solos for our 2nd album planned for early 2016. Last week, Kostas recorded the guitar solos at Fragile Studios in Athens with producer Vangelis Yalamas, and the results are amazing. A great way to connect with our Greek mythology-based new recordings.”
