Mike Grothem had been in many bands before, but never one like this.
“As I continued to grow closer to Christ, I wanted to find Catholic music”, he says, but hours turned into days, weeks, and months, still I had not found a single band that I really liked,” Grothem recalls while retelling the story which led he, his wife Angie and friend Dan Angius to start the band Seven Sorrows, named in honor of the seven sorrows of Mary.
“Our lyrics are very straight forward and deal with topics like abortion, contraception, dying to self, confession, adoration, and more” Grothem says referring to their music which he says “ranges from rock, to punk, to hardcore, to emo, to acoustic
songs for adoration, to chants in Latin.”
“We are pretty much the only Catholic band in the world that sounds the way we do,” said Grothem referring to the bands unique style.
