Description
Oceans of Slumber defy convention. Since 2011, the Houston band has redefined Southern Gothic, telling tales of hope and despair against an ever-changing backdrop of melodic death, doom and black metal with subtle electronic flourishes and classical compositions.
"Where Gods Fear to Speak" finally breaks genre boundaries. 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 film is complete without a captivating soundtrack. "Poem of Ecstasy" alternates between moonlit piano ballads, outlaw country, doomy power metal and dystopian grindcore.
Performing such a radical piece of extreme metal requires a number of talented actors. Even in the most obscure corners of the underground, Dobber Beverly is known as the drummer for grindcore legends Insect Warfare, though even he cedes the spotlight to Oceans of Slumber's lead singer and one of the most powerful voices in metal today: Cammie Beverly, whose cleans still press against the blast beats like a force field. Only now she's flexing a new muscle: death growls!
On "Where Gods Fear to Speak," Oceans of Slumber recreate progressive metal in their own dark cinematic image.
