SORROW & THE SPIRE (Hard Rock – solo project of Navid Rashid (Iris Divine, Eyes of the Nile)) – Release New Single and Video “Castles In The Air” via Crusader Records /Golden Robot Records #SorrowAndTheSpire #NavidRashid
SORROW & THE SPIRE have caused quite a stir on the hard rock / melodic metal scene with their two recent singles ‘In The City Tonight’ and ‘My Misery Calling’ both released digitally via Crusader Records.
Now they have released another masterpiece with accompanying video, ‘Castles in the Air’ which is out now on all digital platforms. It is a modern active rock radio targeted track. The band’s background in progressive hard rock and metal comes through just enough, with some cool mid-song musical shifts, and a keyboard motif that adds another dimension to an already energized and powerful track.
‘Castles in the Air’ displays the harder rocking side of SORROW & THE SPIRE. The uplifting spirit of the song is captured in themes of self-empowerment, and conveyed through catchy riffing, up tempo grooves, and great melodies in vocals and guitars alike. This one is made for cranking up loud and will appeal to fans of 80s inspired hard rock and modern active rock alike.

SORROW & THE SPIRE’S own Navid has always maintained a love for well-written melodic rock, where big guitar riffs support catchy and even pop-influenced melodies, and immediacy doesn’t have to sacrifice depth. Navid has been the leader of various bands and projects over the years. Although he has never gained notoriety outside of independent and underground music circles, he steadily refined his talents and continued to write and perform for the right reason – the love of the music. Now, with years of experience and the inspiration of amazing rock and metal music dating back to his youth, he has evolved into a solo artist that has something to say.
Sorrow & The Spire is the voice of a singer/songwriter/guitarist who is equally at home with 80s influenced hard rock, the 90s/00s active rock and modern rock that fuses it together with alternative and touches of grunge.
Navid is proud to release his first few singles through Crusader/Golden Robot Records. Produced, engineered and mixed by forty-year industry veteran Steve Brown (Trixter, Tokyo Motor Fist) and featuring good friends and guest rhythm section Chris DeChiara (U.S. Navy Band) and Jeff Teets (MindMaze), these tracks introduce rock fans to Sorrow & The Spire’s big riffs and memorable hooks, that go for the heart with unrelenting energy, and just flat-out rock.
Navid’s melodic sensibilities shine through in his passionate vocals and distinctive guitar style, always putting emotion before technique, and the song before everything.
