Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Een rustig herfstbriesje gaat abrupt over in een fikse storm met plensende regen en hevige rukwinden. De storm gaat even liggen, om dan met volle geweld terug te slaan. Oceans of Slumber heeft duidelijk het experiment van hun laatste album achter zich gelaten en keer terug naar de tijd van hun hartverscheurende epos The Banished Heart uit 2018. Ik hou van afwisseling, ik hou van beide.
Where Gods Fear to Speak verschijnt op 13 september via Season of Mist.

"Poem of Ecstasy" splices together so many stand-out scenes that it could spin off as its own mini-epic. We open on frontwoman Cammie Beverly, doing vocal runs in the moonlight cast by a twinkling piano, only to cut from outlaw country to doom-laden power metal and what can only be described as "dystopian grindcore".Â
"Every time you make a new record, you think it's the best," Dobber continues, "but 'Poem of Ecstasy' is easily one of the best songs we've ever written. It sounds like an energetic, pissed-off-band, with enigmatic storytelling and all those magical things".Â
Lineup
Cammie Beverly - Vocals
Dobber Beverly- Drums, Piano
Semir Ozerkan - Bass
