Daily Song Discussion #168: Bassem Sabry
People disappear on the wrong side of this revolution
When they resurface, there's a black hole in their skull
"Bassem Sabry" is the first track off oM's thirteenth studio album, Aureate Gloom. What's your honest opinion on this song? Favourite lyrics? Opinions on a deeper meaning or something? Discuss anything
Also, if you wish, let us know how you'd rate it from 0 to 10 (one decimal point allowed) If enough people rate daily, by the end of this whole shebang I can make a spreadsheet of a huge ranking of the discog. Vote on other posts as well! Until the very end of our last song of this discussion (all the way to aethermead,) I will be counting all votes on all songs no matter when they are commented.
Bassem Sabry live at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA (2026)
