| 3.8 excellent | Trey STAFF | January 13th 23 |
Each album has been better than the last, but they've always left so much on the table by steadfastly sticking to their prog/doom roots. On Starlight and Ash, they've finally kind of found their unique niche. I wish it was a little more catchy overall (and House of the Rising Sun is kind of pointless), but they're finally fulfilling a lot of their potential. They've done this by throwing in a little bit of that southern sound that reminds me of what Thrice did on "The Earth Will Shake", as well as taking a lot of influence from the dark atmospheric rock of Antimatter.

I love this - Northern Europe has had a monopoly on gothic, soaring, female-fronted metal
acts for too long. It's high time the Southern US sends their best to this underserved
niche, and this album delivers. Thematically similar to Zeal & Ardor using elements of black
American music and the lens of US history to enrich the soundscape of black metal, Oceans of
Slumber expands progressive metal through subtle southern rock motifs. It's not perfect! But
it's refreshing. Great songwriting, tight drum work - are you kidding me with the back half
of The Waters Rising! - and suburb vocals. Check this out.
