Oceans of Slumber have formally unveiled their upcoming album The place Gods Concern to Converse, and dropped a efficiency video for the second single, “Poem of Ecstasy.”
The observe places the band’s signature darkish and cinematic fashion on full show, and strings collectively quite a few standout moments, sorta giving the texture of a mini-epic. We acquired haunting vocals and a clean piano entrance, with a transition to doom-laden energy metallic, culminating with dying growls and blast beats, in some form of a “dystopian grindcore”.
“The place Gods Concern to Converse exists someplace between The Handmaid’s Story, The Darkish Tower, and Cormac McCarthy”, says drummer and predominant songwriter Dobber Beverly. “It is half science fiction, a component western gunslinger with a heavy sprint of post-apocalyptic survival”.
“Each time you make a brand new report, you assume it is the very best,” Dobber continues, “however ‘Poem of Ecstasy’ is well the most effective songs we have ever written. It seems like an lively, pissed-off-band, with enigmatic storytelling and all these magical issues”.
“All the songs on The place Gods Concern to Converse are set in this futuristic, derelict world, the place the decrease class are rebelling towards their overzealous rulers”, says frontwoman Cammie Beverly, “however ‘Poem of Ecstasy’ is the album’s huge no-holds-barred love track.”
When writing the lyrics, Cammie was impressed by Blade Runner and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. “Typically, we’re so hellbent on pursuing our goals that we lose sight of the individuals we’re preventing for”, she says. “How will you save the world if you cannot even save your self?”
“I feel Cammie is the very best singer in America by far, but when she’s at such a high stage and we nonetheless can’t break by way of, that simply implies that if we need to keep the place we’re, we’ve set to work more durable!” Dobber provides. “We all know how good we’re, and the way good the music is, but it surely doesn’t repay for us on a regular basis and the brand new report displays that. It’s aggressive, it’s aggravated, but it surely tells a narrative. The closing track, “Impermanence Of Destiny” – that’s the tag. It implies that what you’ve gotten it isn’t a deadly flaw or a mortal wound, and you may change issues and work round these setbacks. So loads of this report is struggle songs.”
