Oceans Of Slumber - Banished Heart

A darker, heavier and more elaborate work than Winter, the band's critically-acclaimed 2015 album, The Banished Heartportrays Oceans Of Slumber as creative souls in the midst of a creative and emotional splurge, lost in the act of venting andpurging through some of the deepest and darkest music the metal underground has conjured in years. Although still proudlychannelling the melancholy spirit of the late '80s/early '90s UK death/doom scene, Oceans have evolved and expanded inmyriad new directions, embracing a more grandiose aesthetic in tandem with an enhanced sense of emotional volatility andrawness. Epic by design and in execution, but acutely personal and intimate on a conceptual level, the songs on The BanishedHeart showcase a refined musical vision from a band with nothing but honesty and honour in their souls.
