If I only got three words to describe Kingdom of Sorrow, the project from Crowbar/Down riffmaster Kirk Windstein and Hatebreed vocalist/MTV VJ Jamey Jasta it would be : HARD AS F. And you know what, I think I will just use those three words. Because I don’t really know what else to say. If you even sort of like Down, Hatebreed, Crowbar, etc al, Kingdom of Sorrow will, to quote Synthesis sales guru Cayle Hunter, “make you jerk off using your own tears as lube.”

Their self-titled debut record drops February 19th on Relapse, and the band will be heading out on tour, rounding out their line-up with Steve Gibb from Crowbar on guitar ( who is, strangely enough, Barry Gibb from the BeeGee’s son…no shit) Derek Kerswill from Unearth on drums and some random dude from New Orleans on bass. If they play within 100 miles of your city and you dont go you are officially kicked out of metal. For life.

So you may recognize Kirk Windstein as being the guitarist for stoner metal supergroup Down, who are on tour right now supporting their new record, Down III - Over the Under. However, he is also the frontman of Crowbar, one of probably THE heaviest bands EVER. We met up with Kirk a couple weeks back to talk about the new Down record, and while we were at it, he took the time to show us some fucking BRUTAL Crowbar riffs, as well as his new custom finish ESP guitar. Check out the footage above, and check out part one of the Down interview below.
