Californian atmospheric/funeral doom duo Oromet releases new digital single »Better Off Alone«

Sacramento, California based atmospheric/funeral doom duo Oromet shares their new digital single »Better Off Alone«, released on July 8th, 2025.

Featuring members of Battle Hag, Church, Renewer, Pastoral, Occlith & more.

Says the band: “Today we release »Better Off Alone« as a digital single, available now as a pay-what-you-wish download on our Bandcamp page.

We recorded this after completing work on our upcoming full-length LP. This song did not belong on that album so we have decided to release it on its own. We hope that you enjoy it.

Our second full-length will be coming out in Autumn 2025 on various formats via Transylvanian Recordings and Hypaethral Records.”

Artwork: “The Chasseur in the Forest” by Caspar David Friedrich.
Original composition by Sebastiaan Molijn, Eelke Kalberg.
Original vocals by Judith Pronk.

Oromet is:
Dan Aguilar – Guitar, Vocals
Patrick Hills – Drums, Bass, Synth, Backing Vocals

Oromet have recently signed to Hypaethral Records and the label commented:

“The cat is out of the bag! Please welcome Sacramento funeral doom masters Oromet to the Hypaethral family.

We are so stoked to have the opportunity to work on their forthcoming sophomore record this fall. This release will be in collaboration with the excellent Bay Area label Transylvanian Recordings who we are absolutely thrilled to be working with.

If you’re not familiar with Oromet, please go and immediately check out their 2023 self-titled debut. You can find it on their Bandcamp page as well as the standard streaming services. You will not be disappointed!

More news coming soon, the band has some really exciting surprises up their sleeve.”
