Doom-pop band SOM today unveils a cover of Billie Eilish’s “Everything I Wanted” with an accompanying video. The doom pop group is made up of current and former members of Constants, Junius, and Caspian. SOM’s Billie Eilish cover follows their Awake EP released earlier this year, digitally via Nuclear Blast’s digital subsidiary, Blood Blast Distribution, and on CD/vinyl via their new label home of Pelagic Records.
“We’ve been obsessed with this song since it came out”, notes the band of their decision to cover the track. “It’s incredible how something so tender and gentle can also be a total gut-punch. It’s got these inescapable melodies that wash over you with both awe-inspiring sadness and a grounding feeling of hope. And that makes it a perfect fit with the SOM aesthetic - it’s intoxicating, powerful, and it really spans the emotional gamut. We want to really honour this song as best we can. It felt like all we could do to be closer to this song was to do a version of it that brings out the heaviness that we feel listening to the original.”
In related news, SOM will support Katatonia and Sólstafir on their Twilight Burials tour through the UK and Europe. The journey runs from the 21st of January through the 26th of February 2022. See all confirmed dates below. Link
