OAK sign to Season of Mist!

Leave a comment

Season of Mist is proud to announce the signing Portuguese death / doom duo OAK, featuring band members of label mates GAEREA. The band will release their new second full-length later this year.

OAK comment: “Back when we first started, we wanted to trace the path of a true giant. Today, following its marks carved into the ground, we have come further than we ever imagined. We came face to face with a colossus and, looking up, we now know what “giant” really means. From now on, OAK is a Season of Mist artist and we are set to release our second album this year.”

Listen to OAK‘s debut album ‘Lone’ via Bandcamp here. 

Genre: death / doom metal

OAK churn out scintillating death/doom metal that’s expansive and harrowing. ‘Lone’ is their debut full length and yet the songwriting is accomplished, as if this is what they were meant to be doing all along. There’s nothing forced here – the music oscillates between the pensive, slow parts to the cathartic, faster ones with relative ease, almost intuitively. The texture of the music does full justice to it all, enhancing the feelings of despair, helplessness and fear.

Lineup:
Guilherme Henriques – Vocals/Guitars
Pedro Soares – Drums

(review) Nocturnal Graves – An Outlaw´s Stand (Season of Mist)

Leave a comment

Australia has very active and great extreme music underground scene and although it is on the other side of the world, music knows no boundaries. Nocturnal Graves just released their new full length opus with Season of Mist and it is their fourth full length in eighteen years of existence. What can we expect on this one? Total annihilation, brutality, energy and apocalypse! Gutwrenching fast drumming, blistering fast solos with some melody thrown here and there for good measure, some slower rolling parts reminding me of best Morbid Angel times and above all growling angry vocals from pits of Hell themselves. Nocturnal Graves took what they needed from death, black and thrash metal leaving only bloody smoldering corpse on the ground. This one is wicked, fast, no holds barred lesson in blackened death metal. Songs like Death to Pigs, Ruthless Fight or Law of the Blade are for sure winners. Go get this one. Just what you need to lighten up your blackened heart and give you energy for new battles.

ABYSMAL DAWN frontman/founding member Charles Elliott comments: “When it came time to record this EP we started discussing re-recording an older track. After a bit of back and forth, we all ended up voting for “Blacken The Sky”. That was actually the first song I ever wrote for Abysmal Dawn, and it seemed sort of fitting to update it a little for a new era. Enjoy!“
