This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Kingdom of Sorrow''' is an American [[sludge metal]] band that features [[Kirk Windstein]] of [[Crowbar (American band)|Crowbar]] and [[Down (band)|Down]], along with [[Jamey Jasta]] of [[Hatebreed]].<ref name="allmusic2"/><ref name="bravewords"/>

== History ==
Kingdom of Sorrow was founded when [[Hatebreed]] frontman [[Jamey Jasta]] introduced himself to [[Down (band)|Down]]/[[Crowbar (American band)|Crowbar]] guitarist [[Kirk Windstein]] at a show at Pearl Street in Northampton, Massachusetts. A short time later Jasta, who actively booked shows throughout New England in the early nineties, put up the cash for a [[Napalm Death]]/Crowbar show in order that Hatebreed could play with one of their favorite bands. Ever since then, the two have remained in close contact and became friends over the subsequent decade. 

Jasta and Hatebreed invited Crowbar out for a UK run of dates in March 2005. It was there that the two friends decided to create a band based on their mutual affinity for bands of the likes of [[Black Sabbath]], [[Iron Maiden]], and [[Pantera]].

In May 2005, the duo recorded in Silver Bullet Studios in Connecticut, and Kirk relocated after hurricane Katrina to write and assemble what would become the first Kingdom of Sorrow album. The first taste of the untitled project surfaced in the form of the track "Buried in Black" on Roadrunner Records' ''MTV2 Headbangers Ball: The Revenge'' compilation, released in April 2006.

Songs were deconstructed, reconstructed, written and recorded again in Planet Z Studios with Zeuss until the duo was completely satisfied with the outcome. Jasta commented on the writing process, "It really was probably the best time I've ever had in the studio. As far as creatively...it was such a liberating thing. We felt like, 'It's a new band. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks.' We're just doing it because we want to do it. So it was a totally genuine and pure creative process." 

Kingdom of Sorrow signed a deal with [[Relapse Records]] in fall 2007, and made their live debut on February 27, 2008, at the [[Worcester Palladium]] in Worcester, Massachusetts, with [[Thy Will Be Done]] as direct support. A subsequent tour followed with support from [[Dead to Fall]] and [[Thy Will Be Done]].<ref name="bravewords" />

On August 5 and 6, 2008, Kingdom of Sorrow played at the First Annual [[Mayhem Festival]] on the Jägermeister Stage at the [[Comcast Center for the Performing Arts]] in [[Mansfield, Massachusetts]] and the [[Nassau Coliseum]] in [[Long Island, New York]], respectively.

Through a [[Myspace]] blog on March 30, 2010, the band announced that their next album was titled ''[[Behind the Blackest Tears]]''; it was released on June 8, 2010, via [[Relapse Records]]. For a period in 2010, Kirk Windstein left the band to enter rehab, with Kenny Hickey of [[Type O Negative]] taking his place at Ozzfest tour dates, and other shows that year.<ref>((Cite web|date=August 16, 2010|title=Kingdom Of Sorrow Guitarist To Miss Ozzfest, Enters RehabMetal Insider|url=https://www.metalinsider.net/rehab/kingdom-of-sorrow-guitarist-to-miss-ozzfest-enters-rehab|access-date=December 15, 2020|website=Metal Insider|language=en-US))</ref>
