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." For the full review, please go to:
