1.
Sick and frail i watched you slip away watch you wither more day by day away from these hands and into the night the bitterness of loosing ones mind you where meant for great things you where destined to soar but life..life got you on your knees and dragged you down, dragged you down your world is not a peace we all long for a certain release i wish your prayer would be answered but as always there's a terrible silence from above
2.
Sadly the night came to an end left us shimmering without hope basking in the defeat of a lost love not even the wilderness can bring salvation this time my heart forgotten by the kind souls my betrayal as a knife deep inside the last prayer that escaped from your lips i drank deep from your poison well ah well, futility can only be measured by the lines in your face and grey of your complexion i live by the rules of imperfection i deny the existence of a better you and a better me sin is so empty in the eyes of my darkness an end seems so hollow when there's nothing to begin with pile the lost bodies up on the carriages lets leave the desolation to the meek and pious
3.
I have dressed you all black the smell of new lace on your neck i have said everything i wanted to say i have waited so long for this day i could not look them in the eyes anymore this total and utter disappointment i have always walked this lonesome path but today i wished you where there with me this bleak road is now black nothing stand out from the darkness anymore i've turned into shapeless misery i've dressed you all black i always wondered what you would look like bleeding from the hands and feet bleeding from your temples with thorns in your head
4.
So ends the day with tears and dismay sorrow filled face, no sound another coffin into the ground i've run out of tears i've spend them all on you i always thought you would stay but the night took you away i've arranged a beautiful last resting place i've arranged those flowers you loved so much sleep in peace my dearest
5.
Wrapped in a gold shroud you wear as a proud robe profoundly resting in the fate that was granted unto you by a cruel god face the evening prayers with utter dread the scent of pine and burning flesh broken body and bleeding quietly no soul as white as godly ashes unto me the lashes and terror the stench of rotten flesh broken skin and red marks you where always a true artist
6.
Lost in words, chained to ruin we dreamed of a better tide waves of misfortune washed over us as the rains in winter time left to rot in this decaying flesh tomb an untameable desire to rage against the grain into desolation we will fight our fate with an undying vigour dress our nights with wine and lust possessed and bewitched our miserable song an uncomfortable sleep we crave as the rest of the world begins their day

"Heavy as the falling sky, searing as the flames of hell (...) a year game changer that will see me and many other writers having to rethink the best doom albums of 2020" (Metal Temple)

"Devastatingly haunting and heartbreaking" (No Clean Singing)

"Majestic, crushingly beautiful (...) a wall of death-doom sadness" (Machine Music)

"Desperation. Hatred. Pain. All of these can be heard in every riff, drum beat, and anguished growl" (Moshpit Nation)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Shapeless Misery” is the second full length by Doom / Death project THE SOMBRE.
A momentous and sorrowful album, in the vein of the Doom / Death pioneers of the early Nineties, and a masterfully heavy sonic achievement wrought with pain and despair.

THE SOMBRE is another great offspring coming from the prolific mind of Maurice De Jong, who is already behind illustrious projects such as Gnaw Their Tongues, The Night Spector, HAGETISSE and Golden Ashes, just to mention a few.

THE SOMBRE’s new album is hypnotically haunting and bleak, dark and ominous, however also enriched by a palpable gothic presence from start to finish.
Combining monstrously downtuned and heavy riffs with shrieking vocals howling painful litanies in an agonising anguish, “Shapeless Misery” is a mid-paced masterpiece of melancholic and raw beauty.

FFO: My Dying Bride, Anathema and Paradise Lost.
