OCELLUS “Departure”

OCELLUS
“Departure”
(Pavement)
Just from looking at the promo just hat for this band I get a feeling that this could very well be either like The Ocean or some obscure Belgian death/goth metal band. They just got that feeling to them on the photo. The truth is something completely different. This is some sort of noisy death metal/grindcore/thrash/metalcore type of thing. I honestly don’t know what to make of it really. It is not the stuff that I usually listen to. It is a bit too noisy for my taste. That they at least try to be more than just a stereotype is a positive thing. But at times it feels like my brain is about to overload with all the impressions coming from this album. Not my fave cup of tea but if I’m thirsty enough it will do. Anders Ekdahl
