Oceans 11

“Holy shit… that’s pure perfection!”, “Her voice is beautiful!”, “The musicianship is insane!”, “The next big thing in metal” are some of countless YouTube reactions on the songs of Texas prog metal act Oceans Of Slumber whose singer Cammie Gilbert turned heads of music fans worldwide. This band combines an extreme metal fundament (death metal in particular) with dark, atmospheric melodies, doomy heaviness, tinges of prog and classic rock, and rounds it off with soulful, smoky vocals. Oceans of Slumber have a wide array of inspirations and transform these into an undeniably epic wall of sound blessed with a strong melancholic mood.

The new masterpiece of Houston, Texas based progressive metal sensation! Atmospheric melodies over darkened dynamics that range from the perversely sinister to the adventurously progressive, creating an undeniably epic wall of sound! Mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö (Opeth, Katatonia, Edge Of Sanity, Bloodbath)

18 years have passed since AND OCEANS delighted us with their last album "Cympher". A lot has changed since then, but one thing remains, and that is the exceptional musical ability, which is reflected in the music of AND OCEANS The fumes of Scandinavian black metal were poisoning the air and the second wave of black metal had taken a new form. …AND OCEANS emerged in this scene in 1995, with an exceptional and unique symphonic approach to the music. Still seeking the musical path to take, the Finns delivered a few demos before signing to Season of Mist shorty after. …AND OCEANS’ new album ‘Cosmic World Mother’, sees the Finnish metal outfit return to a ferocious black metal sound, combined with industrial and symphonic influences. The songs are bristling with creativity and energy, intertwining the …AND OCEANS sound with elements from the different projects the musicians have played in over the years.

John Fahey's newest work is slightly more subdued than last year's Let Go, but equally as radiant. A nimble-fingered master since his 1959 debut Blind Joe Death Fahey has continually created profound expressions on the acoustic guitar, in a mystical yet intimate setting using his intricate finger-picking style-one that often builds on a rolling, ragtime blues base. Here, Fahey offers five solo pieces ("Atlantic High" and "Intro To Ocean Waves/Ocean Waves" most preferred), and five with guitarist and part-time partner Terry Robb, who effectively compliments Fahey's style, shining most brightly when playing bottleneck guitar, as on "May This Be Love/Casey Jones." Other tandem efforts worth hearing more than once are "Juroscho Ascopi," "Samba De Orfeo" and "Theme And Variations" which features some percussion and bass for added depth.

Oceans Of Fire is a second album from Celtic rock band Celtica Pipes Rock!
