9 Loki And Evil 4:23
10 Untitled 3:20

Recorded between Sept. 1992 and May 1993.

Possibly one of the best recordings of the Neo Folk era. Rose McDowall, who frequently took a back seat in the recordings of her contemporaries comes roaring to the forefront in this first foray into Sorrow. Many of the tracks have a otherworldly quality that sounds somewhat like 1960s psychedelia and yet still remains timeless. The instrumentation is amazingly crisp and clean. Roses voice is perfect. Sadly the recordings of Sorrow only stretched for a limited run. But even now, over a decade later, Under The Yew Possessed blows my mind.
