Great name for a band
Pessimistic Cathedral
The story
Pessimistic Cathedral was formed in the rain-soaked streets of Seattle in 2004. It began as a passion project for lead vocalist and guitarist, Michael "Crow" Corbin, who craved an outlet for his sorrow-laden lyrics and haunting melodies. After a chance meeting at a dive bar's open-mic night, bassist Rachel "Raven" O'Reilly and drummer Sebastian "Sparrow" Matthews joined the band, bringing with them a sense of unity and cohesiveness to Crow's anguished compositions. Pessimistic Cathedral rose from the underground music scene, playing at local clubs and gaining a faithful following among the city's disenchanted youth.
Drowned in Shadows
Verse Em C G Living in a world that’s painted black and grey, D Em No warmth in sight, no break of day. Em C G Falling deep into the void, no light to guide, D Em Only darkness by my side. Chorus G D Em Drowned in shadows, lost in despair, C G D Where is the solace, who’s gonna care? G D Em Stranded in sorrow, steeped in regret, C G D This is the anthem, we'll never forget.
