New full-length album “Empire of Excess” is ready and newest single The End is Near.
Killed By Sorrow is a hardcore metalcore band known for its crushing riffs, relentless breakdowns, and raw emotion. After the release of the EP Time Has Come (2022) and the EP Careless of the Sadness (2023), the band continues to push forward with darker and heavier sounds.
The first single, “Betrayal,” from their upcoming full-length album Empire of Excess, is out now — a powerful glimpse into a record that dives deep into themes of overconsumption and societal control, marking their most ambitious release yet.
Known for their explosive live performances—sharing stages with Killswitch Engage, Despised Icon, and Stick to Your Guns, Killed by Sorrow quickly established themselves as a name to watch in Canada’s heavy music scene.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hi, you love done too, Sensu se Wow, crazy Young.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
This is the Pipe Man here on the Adventures pipe
Man W four c Y Radio. And I'm very excited
about our next guest because they have some killer music.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
So let's welcome to the show. Sam from Killed by Sorrow?
How are you going?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Everybody? Thanks for having me over, mister the Pipe Man.
It's a pleasure to be here. And honor also, and uh, yeah,
I'm been chicking you out for a little while and
really happy to be here.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, happy to have you here.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
And uh, I gotta tell you what a great band name,
because I think, uh, there's a lot of people out
there being killed by Sorrow right now we need to
unite with some killer metal and uh and get rive
all at sorrow and uh, because the End is near.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well a good way to put it there. Thanks for
plugging in their latest song there called the End Is Near.
We've been working really hard on this last studio album. Actually,
this is our third release of this upcoming album called
The Empire of Excess and should be available the whole
(01:24):
album we're looking for October November. Those are pretty much
where we're going to be releasing the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Nice, So tell us a little bit about your band
for the listeners that don't know your band. And I
don't mean like a genre, because I think artists nowadays
are so boxed into these micro subgenre bullshit labels, and
I'd rather hear the artists tell me how they would
explain their music.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Well, I come from, you know, a generation where there's
just it was just called metal. That right, That's what
it was. You could throw everything in there, Metallica, I mean,
all these bands were all part of like the metal era. Pantera,
(02:12):
That's really what I grew up listening to when I
was a kid. Uh, We've listened to the Injustice for
All tape. I mean, like that's that's what we were
listening all day long. So obviously we have influence that
kind of go back to trash metal a little bit there. Also,
(02:32):
we've been compared to, you know a little bit of
kill Switch Engage also, which is something a little bit
more recent. Obviously, we don't have a lot of singing
vocals in our music, so it's mostly uh, you know, screamings,
so maybe that would take off of some categories. Uh
(02:54):
So it's it's a bit hard to tell, really. I
think the best way to I think the best way
is just to go out there and listen to it
and see if it's something you guys like. You know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I think that is key.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
You got the right attitude there, because I don't care
what the label is.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
If it's good music, it's good music.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
And like you said, it's just all just heavy, loud,
fast music.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
That's how I kind of describe what I like.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
When if somebody asked me what type of music do
I like, I say, the heavier, the louder, the faster,
the better.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well what genre.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
The heavier, the louder, the faster, the better, doesn't matter
the genre exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
My favorite bands are you know, Cribium, Honor through like
the bands that kind of pioneered my listening career. I'm
still listening to these bands. What I like about Killed
by Sorrow is you'll have a sense of where the
song is going. There's actually a riff that comes back.
(03:55):
By the second time you listen to it, you will
actually be able to sing some of the lyrics. I
find that's kind of important to be able to identify
yourself to something. I know that there's a a bunch
of different different genres out there. But when I can't
when I can't say when the beginning or the end
of the song is, sometimes I get lost into the
(04:15):
music that might be presented nowadays.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, there you go, and you know it, definitely I
am old school where I like that. Like I don't know,
there's songs that are my favorite songs that some people,
young people nowadays, would never listen to because they wouldn't
get past the first ten seconds, Like you mentioned Metallica Battery.
The first ten seconds, you would miss one of the
(04:40):
best songs ever if you click tracked to another track
after and during that ten seconds of calmness.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Who does a six minute songs nowadays? Anyways? You know
what I mean, They're right, that's not what we're doing anymore.
It's fast paced. It has to hook you within the
first fifteen seconds. Uh. And also I think that we
really the way we listen to music has really changed.
It's not like it used to be before. You know,
(05:10):
we go out there and buy the CD and that's
how we would get to show another of our friends, hey,
listen to this, let's listen to the whole CD. Now
we're just doing like small loungely we're gonna launch one
song and then another song, which is okay because that's
how you do it. But I missed the good old
days where you would listen to the whole damn thing,
(05:32):
you know.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And then it was an experience. Man.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
You just you sat there with whether it's the album
or CD and looked at all the artwork, looked at
the lyrics and it's like, my kids will be in
the corner like that. How do you know the lyrics
to every single song?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
That's how because we sat there.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And we listened to it over and over again and
read the words while we're listening and just implanted it
in our brain. And nowadays I think kids are missing
a lot of the art of it, and like they're
catching the music part of the art, but there's so
much more to it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah. Video clips also, I mean, you know, on Spotify,
I think there's some songs you can look at the
video clip, but those are all things that you know,
when the video clip would come out, it would be like, oh,
it'd be like an adventure. So now we have also
lyric videos, which is really cool. The one that's actually
(06:31):
for the end is near It's it's you know a
little bit like the Apocalypse. The songs are not all
like that, but this one actually showcases what would happen
if something like I don't know, like coronavirus would be
something else, you know what I mean. And my Bassis,
he's the one who actually did the whole montage of
(06:52):
the whole video clip, and it's nice because that'll give
you the feel of the lyrics. And when you listen
to the video, it goes into the newspaper and you
would see clips of what the song would say into
the actual So I thought the idea, the concept was
really really cool for that song.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I definitely thought the video was super cool for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
And you know, videos, they tell the story a little
beyond the lyrics, you know, And that's what's cool about.
What blows my mind is the stuff we were listening
to in the eighties that talked about the apocalypse. It
just blows my mind. In twenty twenty six, we're still
talking about the apocalypse and songs.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, it's a subject that comes it comes back. And
I think with the series about you know, zombies out
there and some of the movies, it was fun to
kind of put ourselves in this type of situation and
actually write the whole lyrics for that song, knowing that
was the theme that we were going to use for
(07:56):
the End is Near. So yeah, it was a great
experience we all. So we launched two other songs at
the beginning of the year, Betrayal and The Burial, which
The Burial also has a real video clip. That was
the first time we actually went out there and you
can actually see yourself, you know, moving on the song,
which which was a surreal experience. It was the first
(08:18):
time I actually did a real video clip with the
actual members of the crew. So that was pretty cool too.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So tell us how Killed by Sorrow all came together.
You know, where were you before Killed by Sorrow? And
what led to Kill by Sorrow?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, we started when we were kids. I think I
was about eighteen years old. You know, metal was, you
know something that I used to listen all the time.
I bought myself Marshall Big Stack and called Somebody's Up
and you know, we were listening to On Earth, like
(08:58):
I said previously, in the Well, which was a really
big band there in the States where it all started.
Out there really where the scene started to emerge. So
we played for three years together and obviously all the
roads went apart there, so the band dissolved. But when
COVID hit, we couldn't practice anymore. We used to, you know,
(09:23):
the old metal guys weren't scared of catching anything. So
that's when the phone went. They let's let's jam, Like
what about call gisition about COVID. Let's just let's just
get together. And that's how we started again the band.
I had a few riffs, still just playing again, but
then you know, my basis called and we decided to
(09:45):
get together and we started back, killed by sorrow after
I don't only fifteen twenty years of not playing together.
So that was really really cool.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
That that is way cool.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And I have said, if you're going to take a
to have spin on COVID, I think it allowed artists
to get creative again, you know, and for live music
to be appreciated again, you know, because like you're going
on the hamster wheel as an artist all that time
in the business, and then you know, COVID happens, and
(10:18):
it allowed artists to reevaluate where they want their music
to go because they had the time to do.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So, yeah, we really had to rethink. We all had
site projects that they were doing fairly good. But when
COVID hit, all the bars were down and everything, so
it allowed for other beautiful products projects to start. Some
of them, you know, unfortunately died because of COVID, and
(10:47):
I think I really took my place into creating this this,
you know, continuing the legacy of Killed by Sorrow. We
went in the studio fairly quick. Also, I think that
really helps artists to finalize their song. And really when
when you go in the studio, if it's a home whatever,
it is, home, professional studio, it allows you to finish
(11:11):
a song and really move on to something else. So
we did two small albums within the next years, which
is time has come and careless of this sadness, And
I think that really brought us to another level, especially
to be able to do the songs how they were
you know, recorded, and also we were able to get
some gigs that were pretty big because of those albums.
(11:35):
We played with kill Switch Engaged. There's a big festival
here in gramby h and that was their first or
second gig we played. We opened for them and it
was just like it was pretty amazing. And because of
those albums, that's why they actually booked us, because we
had something to present to the promoters.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Nice and so how do you see the future of
Killed by Sorrow now that you're in whole force again.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, we'd love to obviously tour outside of you know, Quebec,
but it's always a question of finding the right bands
and getting the right contacts in the industry, uh, and
also just growing and and and and getting more fans
(12:22):
that are appreciating the music. It's hard nowadays to to
go and get new fans because there's there's so much
music available. It's not like it was previously where there
was only a few bands and if you like metal,
you listen to them and you were, you know, part
of the crew. So now it's I think it's harder.
(12:43):
It's easier for us to be out there, but I
think there's a lot more choice for people. So it's
it's very different from what it was I think previously.
So we're working hard the next album. I hope that
people are really gonna appreciate. I think the quality and
and the the the image of this album is a
lot more refined than what we from where we were
(13:06):
a few years ago. The sound, the bass that's in
the album, just the overall mix sounds really amazing. I
think we're up there with the biggest band there is
there offering their products. But now it's really to get contacts,
go out there, do shows, you know, talk to people,
(13:27):
and eventually get out of you know, go down to
the US for a little tour or something like that.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
We're looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You got to hit some festivals here, uh, you know,
And I'm putting it out there so that you know,
like whim or or somebody else can put you on
a festival here and we could see you here in
the States because your your music is definitely killer pun intended.
And everybody's got to check out Killed by Sorrow. They
(13:56):
could go to your website at killed bysorrow dot com
and and check out every day and check out the music,
follow on the socials and is there any final words
you want to leave our listeners with that we haven't
covered array that they should look out for.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know what. Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams,
and especially find find some team players that that that'd
share the same vision as you. If it wasn't for
my co workers, you know, helping out the project. Some
have gone, some have left but you know, it's it's
all into sharing the same positive vibe and putting the
(14:32):
work into it, you know, practicing and going in the studio.
Get in the studio, go and record some stuff for
people to listen to it. I think that's the key.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Absolutely well, I can't wait to hear more from you.
And thanks a lot for being on the Adventures of
pipe Man.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Welcome you have yourself a metal day, Take care.

Yeah, it's a subject that comes it comes back. And
I think with the series about you know, zombies out
there and some of the movies, it was fun to
kind of put ourselves in this type of situation and
actually write the whole lyrics for that song, knowing that
was the theme that we were going to use for
(07:56):
the End is Near. So yeah, it was a great
experience we all. So we launched two other songs at
the beginning of the year, Betrayal and The Burial, which
The Burial also has a real video clip. That was
the first time we actually went out there and you
can actually see yourself, you know, moving on the song,
which which was a surreal experience. It was the first
(08:18):
time I actually did a real video clip with the
actual members of the crew. So that was pretty cool too.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
So tell us how Killed by Sorrow all came together.
You know, where were you before Killed by Sorrow? And
what led to Kill by Sorrow?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, we started when we were kids. I think I
was about eighteen years old. You know, metal was, you
know something that I used to listen all the time.
I bought myself Marshall Big Stack and called Somebody's Up
and you know, we were listening to On Earth, like
(08:58):
I said previously, in the Well, which was a really
big band there in the States where it all started.
Out there really where the scene started to emerge. So
we played for three years together and obviously all the
roads went apart there, so the band dissolved. But when
COVID hit, we couldn't practice anymore. We used to, you know,
(09:23):
the old metal guys weren't scared of catching anything. So
that's when the phone went. They let's let's jam, Like
what about call gisition about COVID. Let's just let's just
get together. And that's how we started again the band.
I had a few riffs, still just playing again, but
then you know, my basis called and we decided to
(09:45):
get together and we started back, killed by sorrow after
I don't only fifteen twenty years of not playing together.
So that was really really cool.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
That that is way cool.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And I have said, if you're going to take a
to have spin on COVID, I think it allowed artists
to get creative again, you know, and for live music
to be appreciated again, you know, because like you're going
on the hamster wheel as an artist all that time
in the business, and then you know, COVID happens, and
(10:18):
it allowed artists to reevaluate where they want their music
to go because they had the time to do.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So, yeah, we really had to rethink. We all had
site projects that they were doing fairly good. But when
COVID hit, all the bars were down and everything, so
it allowed for other beautiful products projects to start. Some
of them, you know, unfortunately died because of COVID, and
(10:47):
I think I really took my place into creating this this,
you know, continuing the legacy of Killed by Sorrow. We
went in the studio fairly quick. Also, I think that
really helps artists to finalize their song. And really when
when you go in the studio, if it's a home whatever,
it is, home, professional studio, it allows you to finish
(11:11):
a song and really move on to something else. So
we did two small albums within the next years, which
is time has come and careless of this sadness, And
I think that really brought us to another level, especially
to be able to do the songs how they were
you know, recorded, and also we were able to get
some gigs that were pretty big because of those albums.
(11:35):
We played with kill Switch Engaged. There's a big festival
here in gramby h and that was their first or
second gig we played. We opened for them and it
was just like it was pretty amazing. And because of
those albums, that's why they actually booked us, because we
had something to present to the promoters.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Nice and so how do you see the future of
Killed by Sorrow now that you're in whole force again.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Well, we'd love to obviously tour outside of you know, Quebec,
but it's always a question of finding the right bands
and getting the right contacts in the industry, uh, and
also just growing and and and and getting more fans
(12:22):
that are appreciating the music. It's hard nowadays to to
go and get new fans because there's there's so much
music available. It's not like it was previously where there
was only a few bands and if you like metal,
you listen to them and you were, you know, part
of the crew. So now it's I think it's harder.
(12:43):
It's easier for us to be out there, but I
think there's a lot more choice for people. So it's
it's very different from what it was I think previously.
So we're working hard the next album. I hope that
people are really gonna appreciate. I think the quality and
and the the the image of this album is a
lot more refined than what we from where we were
(13:06):
a few years ago. The sound, the bass that's in
the album, just the overall mix sounds really amazing. I
think we're up there with the biggest band there is
there offering their products. But now it's really to get contacts,
go out there, do shows, you know, talk to people,
(13:27):
and eventually get out of you know, go down to
the US for a little tour or something like that.
You know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
We're looking forward to it.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You got to hit some festivals here, uh, you know,
And I'm putting it out there so that you know,
like whim or or somebody else can put you on
a festival here and we could see you here in
the States because your your music is definitely killer pun intended.
And everybody's got to check out Killed by Sorrow. They
(13:56):
could go to your website at killed bysorrow dot com
and and check out every day and check out the music,
follow on the socials and is there any final words
you want to leave our listeners with that we haven't
covered array that they should look out for.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You know what. Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams,
and especially find find some team players that that that'd
share the same vision as you. If it wasn't for
my co workers, you know, helping out the project. Some
have gone, some have left but you know, it's it's
all into sharing the same positive vibe and putting the
(14:32):
work into it, you know, practicing and going in the studio.
Get in the studio, go and record some stuff for
people to listen to it. I think that's the key.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Absolutely well, I can't wait to hear more from you.
And thanks a lot for being on the Adventures of
pipe Man.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
