Oceans of Slumber - 'Where Gods Fear To Speak'

Οι Oceans of Slumber μας έρχονται από τις Η.Π.Α. (Houston, Texas). Ιδρύθηκαν το 2011 και αγαπούν το progressive metal. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, με πλέον πρόσφατο τον φετινό "Where Gods Fear To Speak" και μπόλικα singles.

Το album "Where Gods Fear To Speak" "βγήκε" στις αρχές του φθινοπώρου σε τρεις... δόσεις (9, 13 και 17 Σεπτεμβρίου 2024) μέσω δύο δισκογραφικών εταιρειών (Season of Mist, Fono Ltd) σε cd, διπλό βινύλιο και σε ψηφιακή μορφή. Νέο μέλος της μπάντας είναι (από πέρυσι) ο Χρήστος Κρητικός (Chris Kritikos)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Oceans of Slumber defy any and all convention. Since 2011, the Houston band have come to redefine the Southern Gothic by casting their tales of hope and despair against an ever-shifting backdrop of melodic death, doom and black metal, with subtle electronic flourishes and classical composition added for good measure.

‘Where Gods Fear To Speak’ expands their progressive vision to the hi-def scope of a Hollywood blockbuster. Oceans of Slumber have toured with Swallow The Sun and Ne Obliviscaris, but their sixth album has more in common with Blade Runner and The Book of Eli.

Of course, no movie is complete without a compelling soundtrack. “Poem of Ecstasy” cuts between moonlit piano balladry, outlaw country, doom-stricken power metal and dystopian grindcore. Performing such a radical play on extreme metal requires a talented cast of characters.

Even the most obscure corners of the underground recognize Dobber Beverly as the drummer for grindcore legends Insect Warfare, though even he cedes the spotlight to Oceans of Slumber’s leading lady.

Her cleans still push back against the blast beats like a force field. Only now, Cammie Beverly flexes a new muscle: death growls. On ‘Where Gods Fear To Speak’, Oceans of Slumber remake progressive metal in their own dark cinematic image.»
