A high-energy, underground djent act.
Uniting boundaries between multiple genres in modern metal, Chris Turner [Drums], James Kennedy [Guitar], Mike Stanton [Bass] and Joel Heywood [Vocals] fuse unpredictable polyrhythms and a sporadic partnering of melodic and dissonant passages, Rock Sound and Revolver both pegged Oceans Ate Alaska as a “Band to Watch,” while they landed on Alternative Press’s “100 Bands You Need To Know” list and covered HM Magazine. The Birmingham, UK, technical metal acts second full-length album, Hikari, translates to “Light” in English and represents their current mindset, illuminating major strides in the group’s sonic vocabulary. Following a lyrical and musical theme rooted in Samurai mythology, the 11-track album blends traditional Japanese instruments with Oceans Ate Alaska’s dynamic flare. Ultimately, Hikari means both a new “light” for Oceans Ate Alaska and heavy music at large.
Oceans Ate Alaska plays technical metalcore and djent, combining intricate polyrhythms with melodic and dissonant passages.
They originated in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
