OSIRIS CLUB’S SECOND ALBUM
Former masked band describe the follow-up to 2014’s The Blazing World’s as a “darkly psychedelic journey”.
The Osiris Club release their second album The Wine-Dark Sea on February 23 via Indie Recordings. The mysterious London proggers promise that it will take listeners on a “darkly psychedelic journey into sound”.
“It’s more song-based this time,” says drummer and band illustrator
Andrew Prestidge. “There’s lots of influences: it’s like proto-goth mixed with 70s prog rock, early Genesis, King Crimson.”
Also in the melting pot is comic books, with the band paying homage to the apocalyptic world of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.
With a new album comes a new look, and The Osiris Club have dropped the white plague masks and black robes which gave them a haunting live presence.
“It was difficult to play in them, and a lot people would ask, ‘Are you copying Ghost or something like that?’” Prestidge says. “For the new album, we’ll have more film projections. But we’ll still be in some kind of uniform.”
