Doom/Stoner Metallers VESSEL Release New Song/Lyric Video For EAT THE DAY From Upcoming New Album THE SOMNIFER

Influenced by the sounds of the underground stoner and doom scene while sculpting their latest offering; a concept album tying together the aftermath of an experienced trauma with the journey of the sleep-state. The Somnifer was, like so many albums released since mid-2020, written in reflective isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This gave songwriter Forster the separation and introspection to craft an album around his own experiences of dealing with trauma, that can often mirror that of our personal connection with the enigma of sleep. 

It is a tale of the different stages the mind can pass through when experiencing both; from the peaks of self-empowerment to the lows of existential dread, The Somnifer weaves together the mental health struggles that both trauma and sleep can play on the human condition. 

To achieve this, Vessel reach for inspiration to manifest a new three-act structure, from the drama of classic doom from Candlemass and Cathedral, the cosmic explorations of psych heavyweights such as All Them Witches and King Buffalo, the aggression of the hardcore and crossover scenes, with the journey of the classic heavy metal instrumentals we all grew up with. Once again, Vessel have reached out to friends and favourites from the scene and beyond to contribute to their art, with guest appearances from Neal Stein (El Supremo, ex-Egypt), Andy Shardlow (Josiah), D.Lolli (Mama Doom), Ceridwen McCooey

We're honoured to premiere the new single EAT THE DAY from the upcoming new album THE SOMINFER which is due for release on November 01st 2024. 

Here's more info about the fantastic new single – Eat the Day

"You wake, feeling like you could take on the world, and step out into the day to make it bend to your will. But is this unusual sense of power and control just a subterfuge of self? What is even real? Does it even matter? Vessel Eat the Day with their second single from new album The Somnifer, through blood pumping desert heat riffs and earth pounding drums that sync to the sound of your feet hitting the pavement as you run towards the future you crave, even if it is only in your dreams."

Majestic Mountain Records say this about working with VESSEL again.

"We are thrilled to once again work with one of our original signees! Vessel has produced yet another exceptional album that is certain to impress you!"
