Sludge metal trio Somnuri will have their third studio album, “Desiderium“, out on July 21st via MNRK Heavy. The song “What A Way To Go” was selected to serve as the first single from the release, with a video for it having been shared online below.
“Desiderium” was recorded at Gojira‘s Silver Cord Studios in Queens, NY. Drummer Phil SanGiancomo commented of this new track:
“‘What A Way To Go‘ is an anti-authoritarian kick in the teeth. With all of the corruption in the world, it’s hard not to feel like you’re being buried alive sometimes, the song came about while trying to vent that frustration. It’s straight to the point and urgent, with less twists and turns than some of our other material.”
Vocalist/guitarist Justin Sherrell added:
“Susan Hunt, who directed the video, captured the imagery perfectly along with a sense of being hounded and surveilled. This is the first single from our new album, Desiderium, and we couldn’t be more excited to set the tone with it and let people know what kind of energy they can expect this time. The album is the pinnacle of our sound thus far and we can’t wait to unleash it.”
