The band released their second single and music video Voyage Into Lethe and it is available here:
Valentina Devin (Dimi De San) and Raven Seven:
“Voyage Into Lethe is a piece that regards to a very desperate and suffocating struggle to release one’s self and emerge into oblivion and freedom after a terrible experience. This is the first song we wrote as Sombria which signifies our entrance into a whole different era as musicians and as individuals. A new blood -stained beginning that a soul can make, leading to a road of infinite possibilities and even uncanny secrets.”

Dimi De San’s music path started on 2012 with the formation of the band Caelestia which had been leading up to 2019. Then she decided to leave and join forces with Raven Seven creating Sombria .
Both musicians have worked with big names of the metal industry like Toni Lindgren from Fascination Street Studios and Fredrik Nordström, Bjorn ‘’Speed’’ Strid of SOILWORK, drummer Markus ‘’Makka’’ Freiwald of SODOM and collaborated with big artists and directors like Seth Siro Anthon (Septic Flesh, Paradise Lost, Moonspell etc) , Gogo Melone (Aeonian Sorrow) and Matthias Kolleg (Kreator, Lacrimosa etc).
Their live appearances are numerous appearing with important bands like Katatonia, Arch Enemy, Insomnium, Draconian among others, including Raven Seven‘s very succesfull collaborations at big metal festivals.
Both have been featured several times in various magazines , with full interviews and live performances while also appearing in noumerous tv and web shows.
Dimi’ s successful tour on 2019 with Norwegian “Vulture industries”, “ Hellheim” and “Madder Mortem” marked the beginning of SOMBRIA as a life project.
Its main purpose apart from featuring music, acting and dancing is aiming to raise awareness -through their music, lyrics and performances- over many sensitive subjects like child poverty, environmental issues, equality etc and also focusing on helping people in need as much as possible.
“Chirographon Dei” is Sombria’s debut full length album consisting of 9 songs, recorded, mixed and mastered by (Raven Seven) in Raven Seven’s studio.
All of the songs have been composed by Raven Seven and lyrics created by Dimi De San (Valentina Devin).
