Soror Dolorosa is a French cold wave and gothic rock band that emerged on the music scene with a rich, melancholic sound reminiscent of the darkly romantic vibes of the 80s. The name 'Soror Dolorosa' translates to 'Sister Pain' in Latin, which perfectly encapsulates the haunting and poetic nature of their music. The band was formed in 2001 in Toulouse, France, and quickly gained attention for their atmospheric blend of post-punk, goth rock, and cold wave influences.

The band's discography includes a number of well-received albums and EPs that showcase their ability to intertwine sorrowful melodies with driving rhythmic sections. "Severance" (2009) was the world's first introduction to Soror Dolorosa's distinctive sound, followed by the studio album "Blind Scenes" in 2011, which further developed their dark and emotive sonic landscape. "No More Heroes" (2013) saw the band refining their style, delivering powerful tracks with evocative lyrics. Their latest full-length release, "Apollo" (2017), is a testament to their musical growth, featuring a more polished and expansive sound. Moreover, "Rive Gauche (Live in Paris)" captures the raw and intense energy of Soror Dolorosa's live performances, allowing listeners to experience the band's dynamic presence. As they continue to captivate fans worldwide, Soror Dolorosa stands as a key figure in the modern gothic and post-punk revival.
