UMBERSOUNDâs new album âIf The Flies Could Singâ delves into a realm where decay and beauty intertwine, creating a sonic landscape that is as haunting as it is profound. Inspired by the inevitable collapse of all things, the album explores themes of death, transformation, and the quiet desperation that lingers in forgotten places. With each track, the album paints vivid images of decaying nature, and the eerie stillness of silence broken only by the hum of flies.
Musically, âIf The Flies Could Singâ pushes the boundaries of doom metal with its theatrically atmospheric slow riffs, multiple layers, and moments of stark vulnerability. The album is going for a very analog, almost cursed dream state feel. Joe, the creative force behind Umbersound, merges suffocating heaviness with delicate, ethereal passages, creating a contrast that reflects the delicate balance between life and death, being at ease and uncomfortableness, love and hatred.
From the opening fade in of distortion to the final depressive, contemplative last acoustic note, âIf The Flies Could Singâ is a visceral journey through the darker corners of existence. It is an album that asks the listener to embrace discomfort and face the inevitability of endings, while still searching for meaning within the void. This January, prepare to be engulfed by the unsettling beauty that is UMBERSOUND.
