Oceans of Slumber announce new self-titled album

OCEANS OF SLUMBER have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, a self-titled effort, from the American prog metal band follows 2018’s The Banished Heart and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Century Media Records.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be taken from the upcoming record; A Return To The Earth Below. Speaking about the new song, vocalist Cammie Gilbert says, “within ourselves, just as within our societies there are cycles that need to be broken. Cycles that hold us down, that tear us apart, that give us anguish. Sometimes without warning these cracks surface and they trigger a cascade of emotional vulnerabilities, emotional turmoil, even hopelessness. But at some point we must stop running. Stop running from the pain, stop running from the truth, stop running from ourselves. In the light of this self reflection is where we will find peace, both inwardly and outwardly. A Return To The Earth Below is about that journey. It is about the collision of the heart and mind in struggling to find that internal resolution. We feel that the timing of this single couldn’t be more appropriate, as we have all found ourselves at the crossroads of change.”
