MY LAMENT is a doom/death metal band from Antwerp, Belgium. Since its genesis in 2002, the core line-up has remained the same: founding members Steph (bass) and Vincent (drums), soon joined by Paul on guitar. Additional guitars, synths and vocals were supplied by various members throughout the years, with a debut demo titled “Beneath the Hidden” coming out in 2006.
After two successful releases, “Broken Leaf” (2009, Solitude Productions) and “Sorrow” (2015), and with Robrecht taking over vocal duties, the band have honed their underground roots into a more accessible sound with an emphasis on concise songwriting and memorable melodies.
The upcoming new album “The Season Came Undone” reflects the band’s ambition to reach a wider audience without giving up their doom/death heritage. With unique vocal harmonies, soaring leads, a pounding rhythm section and thoughtful lyrics, MY LAMENT has matured into a forward-thinking foursome that doesn’t sound quite like any other band.

LYRICS
I’ve learned to speak your name
Ever so softly
To conjure up your face
Aloof and lovely
Perhaps your ghost will stay
If I move slowly
And if I never think of all that hides
In the corner of my eye
Close behind
Tumbling leaves of brown
All through September
Beneath a fading sun
A dying ember
The season came undone
But I remember
The bright lights
The sacred and obscene
And everything in-between
No-one knows
From my lament a world arose
And as I try to walk away
Before the storm
The torn remains of broken stars
Come raining down
The world indifferent holds its tongue
All is the same
Like something almost being said
I’ve learned to speak your name
Ever so softly
To conjure up your face
Dead and lovely
And when in mute despair
I reached in vain
You were already
Loosened like long hair
Poured out like fallen rain
No longer mine
And as I try to walk away
Before the storm
The torn remains of broken stars
Come raining down
The world indifferent holds its tongue
All is the same
Like something almost being said
And when I speak your name
I can make believe
You’ll almost nearly
Not quite hear me
I close my eyes and think of death
As long as I can hold my breath
You’re almost barely
Not quite near me
When I speak your name
