OROMET: The Sinking Isle LP

Sacramento has no business being this bleak. Oromet's The Sinking Isle drags funeral doom down into genuinely aquatic depths, the kind of record that sounds like a coastline disappearing under grey water, slowly, inevitably, and without apology.

Funeral doom at its most atmospheric demands patience, and Oromet rewards it. This is dark aesthetic music for people who understand that slow is not boring, that weight is not emptiness, that a ten-minute dirge can say more than a whole album of riffs. If you grew up on Ahab, Mournful Congregation, or Esoteric, The Sinking Isle belongs in your collection.

Pressed on standard vinyl LP. Packaged for international shipping and landed in Australia for the alternative and metal communities who refuse to pay import lottery prices.
