Texan prog metal sextet Oceans Of Slumber have released an impressive cinematic new video for brand new song The Lighthouse which you can watch below. The new video follows an emotional journey of a charismatic post-apocalyptic cult leader.
The Lighthouse is taken from the bands upcoming album Starlight And Ash, which will be released through Century Media on July 22.
“In true story-telling fashion, The Lighthouse evokes the frenzied emotions of the evangelical south’s dangerous religious leanings," explains singer Cammie Gilbert. "Leading with an ominous gospel, The Lighthouse is a song as dark and atmospheric as the humid air that hangs heavy in our region.”
Starlight And Ash is the follow-up to the band's self-titled fourth album, released in 2020, has been produced by Joel Hamilton (Violet Road, Battle of Mice) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Yes, Voivod). The artwork, which you can view below, was created by Eliran Kantor (Testament).
