SECRETS OF THE SKY - To Sail Black Waters by EARSPLIT published on 2013-09-26T20:23:37Z This week, Italian metal label Kolony Records proudly releases To Sail Black Waters, the debut album from Oakland, California’s ambidextrous progressive doom collective, SECRETS OF THE SKY. Projecting a unique brand of cinematic, cerebral, atmospheric metal with a persuasion towards doom metal and even more blackened influences citing The Ocean, Opeth, Isis, Agalloch and others, on To Sail Black Waters, three of the band’s whopping six-member lineup each make contributions with multiple instruments, layering synth/keys, violins and an array of vocal styles atop the crushing rhythm section and massive triple guitar attack. The booming, pristine production of the album magnifies the band’s power with impeccable clarity, the outcome of a massive spread-out eight month period of recording sessions at Trident Studios with engineer/producer Juan Urteaga (Testament, Machine Head, Cattle Decapitation). http://www.facebook.com/secretsofthesky https://twitter.com/secretsofthesky http://www.kolonyrecords.com https://www.facebook.com/kolonyrecords https://twitter.com/kolonyrecords Genre Progressive Doom Metal Contains tracks SECRETS OF THE SKY "Decline" by EARSPLIT published on 2013-09-26T20:23:37Z SECRETS OF THE SKY "Black Waters" by EARSPLIT published on 2013-09-26T20:23:38Z
