Oceans Of Slumber release new cover of Chris Isaak’s ‘Wicked Game’

OCEANS OF SLUMBER have released a new song!

The new song, a cover of CHRIS ISAAK‘s Wicked Game, is taken from the Texas-based progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Where Gods Fear To Speak, which is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Season Of Mist.

Wicked Game was on the band’s list well before Where Gods Fear to Speak. But when the band arrived in Columbia to record their new album, they had already decided on covering the country-meets-BRILL BUILDING staple Crying. “I’m sure we’ll cover Crying at some point down the line,” says vocalist Cammie Beverly. “But in the end, this album called for something more unexpected. We realised that the album needed to end on a note that was still familiar but also a bit unsettling.””

“When we were in Columbia, I heard a club remix of Wicked Game while out at a restaurant,” drummer Dobber Beverly says. “It was so bad that I needed to go and make things right in my head. We’ve taken the raw and heavier direction of our last two albums and elevated it to the scale of a blockbuster IMAX movie. Our cover of Wicked Game is the song that plays over the end credits.”

Where Gods Fear To Speak is set for release on September 13th via Season Of Mist. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
