OCEANS of SLUMBER
A new album and a big tour awaits
Joining Myrkur as a support act on the Hammersponsored Epica tour in April (check out dates on page 107), Texan progressive metallers Oceans Of Slumber will be looking to build on the success of 2016’s sumptuous Winter album.
“We are gearing up to release a new record!” beams drummer Dobber. “It’ll be called the The Banished Heart, and it’ll be coming out in March through Century Media. It will most certainly be the darkest and heaviest music we have ever released, and poses quite the juxtaposition with Cammie [Gilbert, singer]’s delivery. This is the best work she’s done and she’s absolutely knocked it off this earth. It’s pure soul.
“We’ve tackled more issues from our personal lives,” he adds of the themes running through The Banished Heart. “It’ll have a lot to do with loss and rebirth.”
As well that aforementioned trek with Epica, the band will be looking to “see some new places and meet new people. And we hope to infect some of them with our darkened progressive metal. The world needs more doom and gloom… and we’ve got plenty to give!”
“The worLD NeeDs More DooM aND gLooM!”
AND NEW ALBUM The Banished hearT IS SET TO DELIVER!
