SHOCK SORROW RELEASE SECOND EP “PAGAN QUEEN” AND LAUNCH MUSIC VIDEO FOR LEAD SINGLE “SAMHAIN”

Singer songwriters Shock Sorrow (aka Keith Caffrey and Steff Caffrey) release their second EP entitled “Pagan Queen” which is out now with the promotional music video “Samhain”. The EP serves as a milestone in the journey of overcoming tragic personal loss, revealing light, optimism and hope after profound darkness and pain. “Pagan Queen” furthers the duo’s signature sound established on their debut “The Heart Bleeds” which has amassed over 50,000 streams on Spotify to date. Shock Sorrow’s music is a hybrid of rock, alternative and metal with autobiographical lyrics relating to writer Keith Caffrey’s personal experiences. “Pagan Queen” was recorded, produced and mixed by Steff Caffrey, co-produced by Keith Caffrey and mastered by Siegfried Meier. The EP is available now at all digital retail providers and in physical format at the band’s web store.

Keith Caffrey says about “Pagan Queen” – “Blood, Sweat and Tears, I poured my heart and soul into this. It’s been a pleasure as always to work with Steff and bring our second Ep to the masses.

Week after week, gig after gig, recording session after recording session we worked extremely hard to bring “Pagan Queen” to life and I can’t wait to share it with the world.”

Steff Caffrey says about “Pagan Queen”– “There is always a beautiful light to be found at the end of the tunnel. I loved producing this EP and mirroring Keith Caffrey’s sense of hopefulness, inner strength and perseverance through my music production aesthetics. The emotional content on this record is very real and I’m excited for everyone to listen to it and to connect with it”.

The music video for “Samhain” makes its broadcast premiere on YouTube on Halloween. It depicts ritualistic imagery set in ancient woodland that matches the lyrical content of a Pagan ceremony transitioning a spirit from this life to the next. Carrying the storyline forward from “The Heart Bleeds” is video creator Martin Wrigsjo Staffin from Sweden who weaves Nordic influence and symbolism into the video. The video opens with a solitary young male amongst a backdrop of flames who watches a shaman perform the ritual throughout and ends with a look toward the treetops and sky. Finally, the spirit of his beloved has departed into the next realm.
