Somnent
Heirloom
Somnent began life in 2015, a melodic doom/death metal band from Orlando, Florida created by multi-instrumentalist Giovanni Antonio Vigliotti. From the very beginning Somnent's music has been infused with deep, sometimes overwhelming emotion - a melancholy as heavy and powerful as the measured chords that form their majestic, yet intimate songs. That remarkable blend of towering, regal bearing and raw vulnerability is an integral part of what makes Somnent's music so special, so affecting and unforgettable. They have now completed work on their third full-length studio album, Heirloom, which reflects on the devastating effects of a toxic family situation, the deep wounds that can be left that take a lifetime to heal and the liberation that can be achieved through the painful act of severing those ties which keep us chained to the struggles of our past. This new set of songs combines electric and acoustic instruments, carefully curated guest appearances, formidable song writing talent and superb lyrics to create an album of aching beauty, dark heaviness, dreadful, desolate sadness - and yet also a light of hope, a supporting hand and genuine empathy
