North Carolina's finest, As Oceans, are officially back in the studio writing some new tunes to mosh to. After their hard hitting debut "Enough Light To Warrant The Contrast" and massive Split EP with Wings Denied, they are looking to keep on rolling.
It looks like these guys have a ton of fun in the studio. Expect dancing, burger king crowns, and crushing rhythms. So far it's sounding really damn intense. These tracks should pack a weighty punch whenever the album is set to release. Keep your eye out. In the mean time, check the update along with some great tracks from As Oceans.
From south to north comes a massive sound. North Carolina's As Oceans have teamed up with Washington D.C.'s Wings Denied to create a split EP. While As Oceans brings a relentlessly fierce, djent infused assault, Wings Denied has a more melodic focus. Hearing their sounds come together on a single, solid release is treat for the ears. Check out our official review here.
Go ahead and stream the EP in it's entirety down below! And if you enjoy, be sure to support these upcoming bands with a "name your own price" download!
That's right, there's a brand new split from two of the most interesting forthcoming bands out there, North Carolina's As Oceans and DC's Wings Denied! After serveral delays the EP was unleashed this past Sunday, March 3rd and is now available for a "name-your-price" download on Bandcamp. Physical copies have also been released!
As Oceans had already uploaded their part of the EP on their Soundcloud page a few weeks ago,
long before the release date.Wings Denied had some production issues to overcome, but now the entire EP stands as one. And it makes one helluva impression/
As Oceans makes solid contributions to the EP with raw, heavy skill. If you've listened to their songs in the past, you have probably witnessed what they're capable of. Their sound has remained faithful to the style of the memorable 2012 debut album "Enough Light To Warrant The Contrast". This means you can expect fast, hard-hitting progressive metalcore riffs and lots of heavy-as-fuck breakdowns. After a short instrumental intro "Awaken the Serpent", the first song "Witness" is just massive. It's features some really impressive music and serves as a fast, powerful, intelligent, and precise metalcore statement which also features an amazing melodic chorus. The following track, "Requiem For The Planetary Burial", features more skull cracking breakdowns and even more technical instrumentation.
On the other hand, we can listen to two completely different new tracks from Wings Denied: "Signs" and "Kill! Eat! Pray!". The first one is a soft and clean song composed of great melodies and amazing prog passages, while the second is one of the heaviest song you ever heard from Wings Denied. "Kill! Eat! Pray!" is a really groovy, djentastic track.
This split EP lived up to our expectations. And of course, it's always amazing to find some good music for free! So go support both bands by picking up the CD or downloading the EP here or here for the price of your choice!
From northeast to southeast, there's a new split EP on the way. North Carolina's As Oceans and Washington DC's Wings Denied have teamed up to write some heavy music and they just released a trailer of the madness to come. So far, it's sounding nasty (in the best way possible). You can give it a listen along with singles from the respective artists below. Enjoy that metal \m/
At the recommendation of our friends in Depths, I went ahead and listened to As Oceans, an upcoming band from North Carolina. And you best believe I was pleasantly surprised to hear their single "Measured". This song hits hard. Real hard. The band provides an intelligent edge to their brand of well-composed, relentless, technical Metalcore. It makes for a real treat to listen to. As Oceans just released a music video for "Measured" in support of their debut full-length "Enough Light To Warrant The Contrast". Give it a view and check out some other new tracks below. If you enjoy the music, let the band know and go buy their record!
