Opal Ocean

The deepest part of the ocean, filled with mystery and mystifying creatures hidden from sight and hidden from light. More people have travelled to space then have explored this area of the world. This album embodies both our fascination and our love for the deep sea. With this set of recordings, we have taken it upon ourselves to explore sounds and create music to take the listener on an expedition to the depths of our minds and souls. This album is a journey towards the alien depths of The Hadal Zone.

Kayo Dot, the endlessly eclectic project of composer and producer Toby Driver, was formed in 2003 by the members of the legendary aethereal metal band Maudlin Of The Well. Since then, the group's muse has shown its face through slow and massive cascades of guitars and violins, and soundscapes spanning from tripped-out goth fusion, informed by Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew," to hyper-fast, angular and atonal suicidal black metal.

Gospel as we now know it emerged in the South in the early '30s, an outgrowth of the right to assemble and the advent of gospel songwriters like Thomas A. Dorsey (who had sung previously in the secular arena as Georgia Tom), who brought the blues to church, tossed in some ragtime piano rhythms, and almost single-handedly created the genre to the point that his compositions were simply known as "Dorseys.

The expanded edition, out July 17th, includes six new tracks along with “Pewter,” previously only issued as a bonus track in Japan. The new song titles are color-based as well: “Moss,” “Violet,” “Vermilion,” “Marble” and “Malachite.”
