WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE SKY Debuts First Track From Forthcoming Album
September 14, 2010, 14 years ago
With just under a month until the release of their new album, Empires, adventurous metal newcomers WHERE THE OCEAN MEETS THE SKY are gearing up for an October tour to bring their artful, pummeling new songs to the masses.
Empires is set to drop in stores and online everywhere October 12th from CI Records, the label that helped launch the careers of genre related acts like AUGUST BURNS RED and TEXAS IN JULY. In preparation of the pending release, the South Jersey six-piece are now streaming their first track from the album on their MySpace page, giving the public its first taste of Empires' musical assault.
Listen to 'We Are But Instruments' here.
"Recording ['We Are But Instruments'] was a lot of fun because the vocals have a very intense pattern, and there are a lot of little intricacies in the music itself," explains vocalist Blake Martin. "It's a very a dynamic song and it shows our roots, but also showcases where we are taking our sound over the course of Empires."Empires is a sensationally strong debut from a band that refuses to have their music fit snugly in a single tiny box. Tempering full-throttle heaviness with driving melody and haunting atmospherics, it's the sound of an album which is just as smart as it is heavy - an unfortunately rare combination in today's current alt music scene.
Leading up to the release of Empires, Where The Ocean Meets The Sky will join TEXAS IN JULY (Equal Vision) and THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE (Good Fight) on the road.
