Offers T.C. Woodruff who created the video for Omotai, "Their music has a lot of dread and paranoia, but as people, they're quite a sarcastic, good humored bunch. I wanted to riff off all of that."

Omotai Streams "A Ruined Oak" In Full
Houston-based riff dealers Omotai present their latest album, the conceptual and crushing "A Ruined Oak" - the album a meditation on the lost colony at Roanoke, centered on abandonment and responsibility, the lyrics haunted by loss and violence - which will be issued this Friday through Tofu Carnage Records. Advancing its official release, Cvlt Nation is streaming the album in its entirety, while the band tours across the western half of the country. Stream "A Ruined Oak" either at Cvlt Nation over at this location, or simply in the player at the bottom.
Recorded by Chris Ryan at Dead City Sound and mastered by James Plotkin, "A Ruined Oak" delivers an unrelenting dose of charged riff dynamics, pummeling low-end thunder, and infectious hooks. This sprawling, diverse work shows a greater range than anything Omotai has done before, with songs drawing from thrash, doom, sludge, extreme metal, hardcore punk, and post-rock.

Omotai bassist/vocalist Melissa Lonchambon Ryan offers, "This storm was completely unfathomable, and I've been through a lot of hurricanes. Some of the first-person accounts I've read will haunt me for a long time. For a lot of people here, it will be difficult and take a long time to get back to some kind of normalcy or get close to replacing what was lost. But I was astounded by the response of regular people here that stepped up and rescued and helped others." More...
