Pre-order / Stream "Heirloom": Website: https://www.arduamusic.com/ Label Bandcamp: https://arduamusic.bandcamp.com/ Somnent Bandcamp: https://somnent.bandcamp.com/ Somnent began life in 2015, a melodic doom/death metal band from Orlando, Florida created by multi-instrumentalist Giovanni Antonio Vigliotti. From the very beginning Somnent's music has been infused with deep, sometimes overwhelming emotion - a melancholy as heavy and powerful as the measured chords that form their majestic, yet intimate songs. That remarkable blend of towering, regal bearing and raw vulnerability is an integral part of what makes Somnent's music so special, so affecting and unforgettable. Somnent have now completed work on their third full-length studio album, Heirloom, which reflects on the devastating effects of a toxic family situation, the deep wounds that can be left that take a lifetime to heal and the liberation that can be achieved through the painful act of severing those ties which keep us chained to the struggles of our past. This new set of songs combines electric and acoustic instruments, carefully curated guest appearances, formidable song writing talent and superb lyrics to create an album of aching beauty, dark heaviness, dreadful, desolate sadness - and yet also a light of hope, a supporting hand and genuine empathy. --------------------------- LYRICS I searched in your eyes For what wasn't there My longing for hope Was met with dispair A mother's love Crumbled to dust A father's warmth Died with our trust Searching for someone to blame Thrown down and buried in shame Burdened by your lies Watch as the daylight dies We're broken inside As we fight for our lives It's all thrown away As we're led astray Lost in the echoes Of what could have been Shattered reflections Torn from within A hollow embrace In the arms of the void Where dreams once lived Now only destroyed We fell through the night With scars on our souls Calling out your name Watch as we tried in vain The more we suffer The more we cry We come to realize We're rotting inside Know that I loved you With all that I had But the only hope for us Is to walk away ----------------------------- Music and lyrics by Giovanni Antonio Vigliotti Mixed and mastered by Jari Lindholm Video filmed and edited by Olga Kann Band filming: Mitch Jacobowitz Additional guitar: Julian Lefler Lineup: Giovanni Antonio Vigliotti (guitar/vocals) Shane Dohmen (bass) Alejandro Acuña (drums) https://linktr.ee/somnent_official #doomdeathmetal #doommetal #somnent
