Somnus Throne releases 'Nemesis Lately'
Los Angeles psychedelic stoner doom revelation SOMNUS THRONE. 'Nemesis Later' is a sheer collection of fuzz-drenched incantations brimming with LSD-fueled solos and entrancing vocal lines, a wall of sound of the highest order that plays in the same league as Sleep and Acid Mammoth, and also calls to mind the Eastern-coveting vibe of Dead Meadow when they go further in their own shamanic expression.
"Nemesis Later" will be released worldwide on June 3rd through Heavy Psych Sounds.

SOMNUS THRONE is a three-piece formed way back in 2016 in a cacophony of underground heavy music shows, leaking warehouse ceilings, and perpetual sedation of one kind or another. While their members have haunted many a '5 dollar-at-the-door, Monday through Friday no rent crash-pad, repurposed crack-house turned venues' from New Orleans to Portland, they are based in Los Angeles, California. Their self-titled debut album on Burning World Records (of Roadburn Festival fame) in 2020 put them on the stoner world map, and they have much to offer to any listener craving fat fuzzy riffage and anthemic goodness à la Dead Meadow, Acid King, Electric Wizard, Sleep or Dopelord.
"Nemesis Lately" is very much a continuation of their self-titled debut (Burning World Records, 2020), with much more attention to detail, further exploration of the depths of each niche within the doom realm, and a greater variety of sounds. Less droning, more action. It goes without saying that SOMNUS THRONE is never more than one decapitated bat away from Sabbath worship but above all, "Nemesis Lately" is a true smorgasbord of all things fuzzy, doomy, smokey, sleepy, and trippy while managing to grasp the essence of each sound — perfect for anyone ready to doom, space, fuzz, headbang, tune in, turn up, and trip out for the next 40 minutes...
