A Common Conflict And The Respite We Deserve

by Sombre

supported by

Shem A furious, raw, and introspective debut, some beautiful moments of aching longing like the second half of "Endeavour not to Dream of Death, and his Hand" and the weary trudging of "Tiresome Be, The Plight of Life" make Sombre cinematic and emotive. Sombre will no doubt build on their strengths from release to release and this is definitely worth your time! Favorite track: Endeavour not to Dream of Death, and his Hand.

1.	From Womb To An Unsightly Shallow Grave 06:01	lyrics	buy track
Like a good friend bearing the unwanted gift of news, unsought my stomach it sinks It never leaves my lungs From womb to an unsightly shallow grave It consumes me like a parasitic pain The thoughts are in my viens My eyes are sore from squinting My muscles sore from shaking My throat is sore from retching My head is sore from the melancholic disarrangement I can see the sky beyond The dancing static behind my corneas Stings a shade of wonder I can see the sky beyond The dancing static behind my corneas Stings a shade of wonder, It stings a shade of wonder From womb to an unsightly shallow grave It consumes me like a parasitic pain I was born surrendered My eyes are sore from squinting My muscles sore from shaking My throat is sore from retching My head has been left astray The thoughts are in my viens If I surrender I'll be free always in excess of time to fill I'm as lost as your beliefs I'm as lost as your beliefs I'm as lost as your beliefs
2.	Endeavour not to Dream of Death, and his Hand 05:22	lyrics	buy track
A common conflict And the respite we deserve The warmth of the sun, Fills me with humility The rays they, They dances under my eyes I can hear the sounds inside my head A brief escape from the hollowness Brings the relief for which I yearn A brief escape from the hollowness Brings the relief for which I yearn Can you imagine Unrestricted bliss Can you imagine Unapologetic life Can you imagine Unrestricted bliss Can you imagine Unapologetic life Endeavor not to dream Of death, and his hand Endeavor not to dream Of death, and his hand Endeavor not to dream Of death, and his hand The conflict is relentless But I'm trying Oh God I'm trying

4.	Tiresome Be, The Plight Of Life 07:30	lyrics	buy track
Here beyond the concrete maze Lies a heavy heart Sickness in a neon dress A camoflage, without conciquence oh if only I had permission to leave denied the request of a love that never existed Abandoned Abhor Isolation A false comfort beckons me Tiresome be the plight of life Despite all it's contradictions sombre the sorrow comes defeat, the only conclusion Tiresome be the plight of life Hold onto life for there's nothing, beyond death Hold onto life for the earth shall crumble beneath my grief.

Very atmospheric, a perfect winter soundscape. Each of the 5 pieces are their own distinct work, but they complement each other so well that it makes it a good hour of atmospheric black metal that you want to finish in one sit through (or winter hike). Marty
