Into the Abyss: Somnolence Breaks the Chains with “FMS”

Somnolence isn’t here to hold your hand, they’re here to tear open the cage and shove you into the pit of your own mind. Their latest single, FMS, is a blistering journey through the darker corners of the psyche, built on a foundation of thunderous metalcore, jagged progressive riffs, and the mind-bending pulse of djent. It’s heavy, yes, but not for the sake of volume, it’s heavy with meaning, layered in nuance, and seething with internal conflict.

Clocking in like a sonic exorcism, FMS doesn’t play by the rules. The rhythms twist and coil like barbed wire, snapping at the edges of control, while the vocals both guttural and hauntingly clean, lurch between rage and resignation. But underneath the aggression lies something deeper: a reflection on the prisons we build for ourselves through trauma, denial, and distorted self-belief.

What makes this track stand out isn’t just its technical prowess (though the musicianship is razor-sharp). It’s the emotional architecture, this song is built like a labyrinth. You don’t just listen to FMS; you survive it. You feel it claw at your ribs, whispering uncomfortable truths, daring you to confront your own mental maze.

Somnolence doesn’t offer answers. What they do offer is reverence, reflection, and the raw sound of a soul screaming to be understood. Turn it up. Let yourself unravel.
