Forsaken Tarn
Oromet
A gallery of decay My eyes set on the path ahead Beset by wraiths with familiar faces They arrange the carrion to please the vultures Weary, I take refuge at the edge of a lonely pool Sunlight dances softly on the ripples in the water The crystalline surface reflects a vision Of the harrowing path that lies ahead I gaze deeply into that cruel mirror A tired and sunken face gazes back What dwells within the depths beyond This forlorn visage laid before me? Faint footprints pressed in silt Bones sunken in the mud Pale bodies swathed in rot Surrendered lives "Linger not at my shore Lest you find yourself Moldering in regret"
11:21

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
