Oromet was forged in 2022 by guitarist/vocalist Dan Aguilar and multi-instrumentalist Patrick Hills with the aim of creating powerful music where melody is the focal point, rather than an afterthought. Oromet sculpts towering, monumental funeral doom epics. Transcendent guitar harmonies soar over immense, swirling soundscapes while agonizing vocals howl from cavernous depths. Their self-titled debut captured that vision: an epic exploration of grandeur intertwining a profound sense of beauty with crushing heaviness.
For The Sinking Isle, Hills and Aguilar turn their focus to a darker tone, while still crafting an album that feels like a direct continuation from their debut. Adrift on cataclysmic seas, melody remains their compass – a hopeful light guiding the listener through themes of loss, nostalgia, and pessimism. The Sinking Isle was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Patrick Hills at Earthtone Recording Company and features cover art by Ted Nasmith, whose work resonates with the band’s philosophy and lyrical themes.
The record will be released on CD (Ltd. 300) and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:
Volcanic Blaze (Ltd. 250)
Emerald Wave (Ltd. 250)
