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.
Visually, OROMET draws from the paintings of fantasy artist Ted Nasmith, whose work adorns both albums and resonates with the band’s philosophy and lyrical themes. The debut’s covert art reflected their upward gaze; The Sinking Isle’s depicts a darker pessimism. Together, they form a mythic diptych of creation and destruction; longing and loss. OROMET stands at the intersection of sorrow and transcendence. Where some seek to immiserate and drown the listener, OROMET explores the complete nature of sorrow as the band weaves the choke of despair and the lightness of serenity. At times the music flows like a winding stream, and at others it towers overhead like a frigid peak, piercing the clouds.
