Oromet
Oh, how the years have slipped away Since you left your home behind Rode off with a band of rogues In search of giants to slay Traded a warm hearth for nights in the dirt Now you stand alone on the battlefield Prepare that tired horse For one final final ride Pray that you can fight long enough To die in combat Pour something strong and raise a glass To all of your friends in the ground Pour another few for yourself In hopes that you’ll catch up with them “This wretched hand that I’ve been dealt Was but cruel fate, writ in stone” Add another voice to the choir Of lies that you tell yourself With sunken eyes so fixed on the dead You never could see the living

Oromet presents atmospheric funeral doom with a melodic emphasis without surrendering the all-encompassing heaviness that is the genre's hallmark. Where some seek to immiserate and drown the listener, Oromet explores the complete nature of sorrow as the band weaves the choke of despair and the lightness of serenity.

"The Sinking Isle" focuses on the inevitability of collapse and the cycles of ruin and rebirth. Adrift on cataclysmic seas, melody remains the compass – a hopeful light guiding the listener through themes of loss, nostalgia, and pessimism.

This release is in collaboration with Transylvanian Recordings.

For fans of Mournful Congregation, Bell Witch, Esoteric
