OAK
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: FUNERAL DOOM/DEATH METAL
REVEAL STUDIO LIVE VIDEO RECORDING FOR "SCULPTURES"!
[2018.03.20]
Portuguese Funeral Doom/Death Metal duo by the name of
OAK entered
Stone Sound Studio in Portugal and made a live recording of a composition
called “Sculptures“.
"Sculptures" is the ground shaped by the walk of whom carries the
heaviest of burdens. With each step, the feet are buried deeper, being swallowed
by the soil. A path that is formed by the passage of a body hollowed out of it's
soul, that keeps going through unimaginable pain, never looking back and
suffering alone.
OAK are a
project of two members from the sensation Portuguese black metal band
GAEREA!

“Sculptures” is a musical spellcaster of a high order, one that rises
slowly like a haunting mist across a barren plain and then steadily grows in
emotional power and intensity. The deep thump and boom of the drums beat like a
dying leviathan heart, but the pulse quickens, just as the song’s heart-aching
melody becomes more despairing and the vocalist’s grim, cavernous growls become
howls of pain.
As the pace subsides again, the mesmerizing guitar reverberations signal the
return of a soulful, spectral visitation, eventually joined by a tumbling,
rhythmically compulsive drum progression. And then the weight of crushing grief
descends like a collapsing mountain — the music becomes staggeringly heavy, and
then mounts toward a crescendo of blasting, thundering drums, scything riffs,
and ravaging roars.
The intensity crests, and what’s left in its wake are final heartbeats and
ghost-lights, echoing and shimmering across that barren plain in the mind’s eye.
Yes indeed, it’s a spellbinding song, but it is still a work in progress. The
final version of the song will be included on
OAK’s debut album,
which is now being recorded in the same Stone Sound Studio in Portugal
with sound engineer and producer Ricardo Oliveira (who has worked with
Colosso and The Ominous Circle, among others). We’ll be anxiously
awaiting its completion.
We’re also happy to report that
OAK will be
making their first live appearance on March 24th in an ancient chapel in the
north of Portugal, with our friends in Bell Witch. Tickets are available
HERE.
“Sculptures” is available for download now, on
Bandcamp; it
features artwork by Pedro Soares. :
