Oceans of Slumber’s female vocalist, Cammie Gilbert, carries this band. Of that, there is no doubt. Musically, the band blend death/black metal, doom, post metal, and even a bit of prog. The music can literally go from morose doom to high-tempo death/black metal without any warning, which is also a double edged sword. Oceans of Slumber’s music lacks just the slightest bit of direction and focus, and the songs themselves never get a chance to truly build. Having said that, there are definitely some really good songs on here, but they leave a little potential on the floor. I see good things for this band.

So. Awesome. The sideshow metalcore and death metal antics are mostly ignorable here and, with any distempered luck, will be dropped for the next full-length. Thankfully, the female-fronted clean leads more than make up the progressive metal balance. These are, without a semblance of a shadow of an enigma of a doubt, the most salient feminine musings I've ever heard -- even moreso than Avatarium's Jennie-Ann Smith and Triosphere's Ida "Pico" Haukland, my prior go-to staples in the growing field of metallic goddesses. But this... it's insane. The deep and abiding soulfulness in these vocals; it's clear that Ocean of Slumber's new frontwoman Cammie Gilbert means exactly what she croons and croons exactly what she means. And from Texas, of all cultural and ecological wastelands! I'm fairly floored after the first several listens. Please Odin let this be a grower.
