There are times in life when it feels as if darkness will consume the light. From a distance we can guard against the grim inevitabilities of illness, dementia and the decay of old age, but when more intimately confronted with their impact it becomes easy to imagine a hidden daemon delighting in the misery wrought. It is from this hurt that Urne’s savage second album, ‘A Feast On Sorrow’, was born. “There were a lot of dark times,” frontman Joe Nally sighs. “Losing people is a horrible thing; when reality hits home it’s a shock. I was full of pent-up emotions—anger, confusion—and I could only release them through aggression. It’s a lot darker. There were quite a few ‘fun’ elements on our first album, Serpent & Spirit. There aren’t a lot here.”
