Thanasis Fragopoulos formed Sorrowful Winds in 1990. After a long period of constant changes in the line up, two demo releases and several live appearances throughout the country that created a good reputation and a solid core of fans, SW recorded “The Imminent Arrival” their first-ever official release.
Out in July 1999 by “Seven Records” found the band with the following line up:
Dimitris Sirgiannis (vocals) Thanasis Hatziagapis (guitars), Babis Zisiou (guitars), Kostas Rigopoulos (Keyboards), Thanasis Fragopoulos (bass) and Chris Katselis (drums). After a short period of time Babis Zisiou left the band which kept on going as a quintet ever since.
On the terms of promoting “The Imminent Arrival” SW gave a number of live appearances and as a highlight their supporting on Gamma Ray (Rodon Club Athens 21/5/2000). Deputes with “Seven Records” forced SW to look for a new record label to release their newly composed material.
In the summer of 2001 the band entered the studio once again to record their best album to date called "The age of dreams". Released in December 2001 by NMC Records it depicts the maturity and the constant progress of the band through the years, combining power/progressive metal with doom and atmospheric elements. Excellent compositions, impressive arrangements, melodic solos and inspired vocal lines make "The age of dreams" a must for every eclectic heavy metal listener.
