"Severed Ties" is the magnificent new single from Floridian melodic doom/death metal entity Somnent. Summoned into existence in 2015 by multi-instrumentalist Giovanni Antonio Vigliotti - who still performs all instruments and vocals on the band's studio recordings to this day - Somnent's music is intensely emotional and deeply affecting, possessing a rare power born of its unflinching honesty and Giovanni's ability to translate acutely personal perspectives into universally relatable themes. "Severed Ties" is the first new music to be released by Somnent since the outstanding 2021 album, Gardens From Graves, warmly embraced by fans and critics alike and offering a beautifully measured progression of weighty riffs and the ethereal melody lines that caress them, the emotive lyrics enunciated with a quiet passion and the sheer depth of emotion that infuses every note. Delivered with perfect pacing and a wonderful appreciation of space and simplicity, "Severed Ties" tells a tale of broken trust and the inversion of the sanctuary of family. This secret poison has crept insidiously down through generations. It's a song of immense sadness and hope as the seemingly endless procession of pain is finally broken... by the severing ties.
Mixed and mastered by Jari Lindholm (Monolithe, Exgenesis, Desolator, etc.) "Severed Ties" has been blessed with a flawless sonic quality that allows the exquisite songwriting and the deft nature of the performances to shine. The accomplished nature of Somnent's music has never been easier to appreciate. "Severed Ties" will be available on streaming platforms on 10 May and herald a stately cavalcade of new music from Somnent that will arrive throughout 2024, so embrace this melancholic gem and let its sombre benedictions fall around you... and look to the future with hope.
