Bloodlet

yenoham A dark beautiful dirge drenched with an underlying atmosphere of doom, pain and loss. A place many of us both find ourselves inhabiting out of familiarity and searching for solace and refuge in an attempt of confronting the emotions that draw us into the depths of this genre to begin with. Bloodlet would benefit from a physical release, as well as a Part II follow up on this narrative. Hopefully both are on the cards.

Stefan B Just discovered this amazing lady. Amazing vocals and melodic doom that grabs you and takes you on journey. Would be the perfect album to spend a lonely day in an isolated cabin.

about

This piece is about wanting to extract the poisonous misery from someone loved, and the struggle of confronting the situation. It features distorted violin, instead of guitar.

"Full of melancholy and misery, this is a single 20 minute track of dark riffs, haunting piano, and seductive violin...

The music is neoclassical darkwave, infected by rich doom metal, and delivered with character and grace. A slow-building, gradual exploration of tormented suffering and beautiful loss, the track is lovingly crafted from Gothic materials and shaped into something quite sumptuous and darkly resplendent...

An essential listen for anyone into sumptuous, rich, emotive Gothic doom metal." For the full review, please go to:

"There’s but one track that we gotta deal with here, but given how “Bloodlet” stretches to a fair length of 20 minutes long it’s easy to see that Promethean Misery is sticking true to one of the pillars of doom metal. That being said, it doesn’t truly feel like you just went through a 20 minute piece simply because Promethean Misery is constantly tossing new elements at us to digest in the form of changing rhythms, extra instruments, and a voice that really ties the song together despite being exclusively clean vocals with not a growl in sight...

Hopefully, this isn’t the last we’ve seen of this talented woman as I’d be more than keen to see her follow-up “Bloodlet” in whatever fashion she pleases, for I know I’ll be all over that if given the opportunity."

LYRICS

Monumental figure of my youth
Sits stationary on the worlds slow turn
Abandon this drudgery
Find the peace with which you yearn

Eyes open beneath snow
I offer frostbitten hands to dig you out
Can't get the words past the lump in my throat
And it sinks
Heavy

Enveloped by the mist from tears
Fever embellished woe
Sadness encased by the skin you're in
Discard the hero, release the human
He whom I wish to know

Dispel the shackles of your torment
Stray from your desolate plight
Relinquish your sadness unto me
Bleed on me

Here we sit, together, in silence
No words said, yet many read;
I bleed the blood from those veins;
I've inherited your pain;
I'm a shadow in your solitary existence
And a shadow I'll remain

With open arms that close in on nothing
Retreat back to the place where we weep.
