Oceans Of Slumber Debuts New Single

Texas-based New Southern Gothic outfit Oceans Of Slumber presents "Heart Of Stone," the next song taken from their upcoming album, "Starlight And Ash," that is scheduled for a release July 22nd.

Fronted by the inimitable power, range, and grace of vocalist Cammie Beverly, "Starlight And Ash" posits Oceans Of Slumber in a league of their own. This is as much eloquent extensions of famed singer-songwriters Nick Cave and Chris Stapleton as it is the heartbreaking pulse of Type O Negative and Katatonia. "Starlight And Ash" isn’t Metal, but its edges are.

Cammie Beverly (vocals) says about the song: "Lost and alone from birth, a product of the institution of life on the streets. Trouble follows this person around like a badge of honor. Grief finding grievances, the perfect formula of despair."

"Starlight And Ash" was produced by Joel Hamilton (Violet Road, Battle of Mice) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Yes, Voivod). The stunning artwork was created by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Heaven Shall Burn and many more). More...

Dawn Of Ashes Releases New NSFW Music Video

Los Angeles based Industrial Metal band Dawn Of Ashes has revealed the hotly anticipated, intensely graphic official music video for their single, "EMDR." Fully NSFW, featuring unsettling imagery as analogies for the wholly encompassing and often contradictory experiences of severe trauma sufferers, "EMDR" is not for the feint of heart, but serves as a uniquely explicit insight into a mind struggling to achieve balance and recognition beyond suffering. Originally premiered with Metalsucks, "EMDR" is the first single off of the band's recently released and heavily praised new LP, "Scars Of The Broken," which is available to purchase (physical and digital) and stream online via Artofact Records.

"The story behind the music video 'EMDR' is about a trauma victim who experiences EMDR therapy. She slips into a nightmare and is being tormented in sexual and disturbing ways by a trauma spirit. In the end she becomes possessed by the spirit and ends up becoming what she fears the most." - Kristof Bathory More...
