They’ve never been afraid of breaking boundaries, but with their new album, Oceans of Slumber have taken their vision for progressive metal to dark, cinematic new heights.
“It feels like there’s nothing Oceans of Slumber couldn’t do if they tried”, Bandcamp wrote upon naming Where Gods Fear to Speak one of September’s best metal albums.
Today, Season of Mist is proud to announce that Oceans of Slumber have topped the NACC Heavy Chart. Where Gods Fear to Speak now sits at #1 for the week ending on October 8th. This chart reflects weekly airplay reports from over 200 North American college and community radio stations.
The Houston heavies are joined on the chart by their Canadian labelmates Anciients, who came in at #4 with their heavy, heady and heartfelt new album Beyond the Reach of the Sun.
“We are thrilled to be making the rounds on these college campuses”, Oceans of Slumber says. “Big thank you to the stations for spinning our new album”.
Where Gods Fear to Speak is out now on Season of Mist.
