"Soma" envelops listeners in a dense, atmospheric soundscape characteristic of sludge metal. The production is raw yet polished, allowing the heavy, distorted guitar riffs to intertwine with the haunting, ethereal vocals. Each track, from the brooding "Orchard" to the expansive "Evergreen," showcases a slow to mid-tempo pace, creating a meditative yet oppressive energy. Textures are layered, with deep, resonant bass lines grounding the ethereal guitar melodies, while the drums provide a steady, thunderous pulse. The album's distinctive quality lies in its ability to balance heaviness with a dreamlike quality, drawing listeners into a moody, immersive experience that lingers long after the final notes fade.
