Adam: We only had three weeks to write and record it. This track would be considered one of the more tame on the album, yet it lacks no impact through its creativity. Hopefully we’ll get something sorted out next year. We understand that most of our fanbase from Clocks and our youtube days are from the USA so we do wanna get over there as soon as possible. As with other styles blending metal and hardcore, such as crust punk and grindcore, metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, slow, intense passages conducive to moshing.
Trivia .
[37], On 27 August 2019 the band was announced as part of the tenth anniversary "Macmillan Fest" along with 60 other musical acts. Ahead of their show supporting The Word Alive at the Underworld back in October, Rock Sins spoke James Harrison and Adam Zytkiewicz from rising metalcore band Oceans Ate Alaska. Border lining on the OAA of the Into The Deep days, the song tends to lean on a more metalcore base, with slight Japanese instruments used intermittently as to keep with the theme of the record. With the big news of them signing to Fearless Records this was a great time to catch up with them and discuss what the future holds for Oceans Ate Alaska. [34], On 12 November the band released their cover of Sting's "Shape of My Heart". James Harrison, 25 4. Adam: It’s a lot more refined and a lot more us. Rock Sins: Being one of the two British bands signed to Fearless Records must make it feel even better. Connect: Facebook | Twitter 28.10.2020 | No CommentsNo Comments. James: And it is heavier, I mean there are songs that link back to our old music but as a whole the album is heavier. The band would go on to release their first single, "Taming Lions" on 4 August followed by their second single "Clocks" on the 26th both accompanied by a music video and being released through Great Escape Records. Definitely not to the depraved extent of Upon A Burning Body’s last album, but just enough to sour the overall impact and genuine innovation that ‘Hikari’ displays. The release of 'Clocks' music video feature James Harrison on vocals, Jibs on rhythm guitar, Josh Salthouse on lead guitar, Alex Hudrey on bass, and Chris Turner on drums. Adam: This tour in particular we’ve only been playing Blood Brothers. Hopefully, Oceans Ate Alaska continues to experiment their metalcore sound with other genres, traditions and ideas. We’ve got people singing along to Blood Brothers now which is great considering it’s only been out a few weeks and we’re gonna be playing more songs on future tours but for now we’re just gonna stick with Blood Brothers.
Makes me wonder what really went down with the band. But goddamn, it’s just a bit of a shame about all of the metalcore present here.
In 2012, the original bassist, Alex Hurdley left the band and was replaced by George Arvanitis for a short amount of time. In comparison to past OAA, or even to many of the songs off of Hikari, this track showed a much softer side. So whether they’re just being straight metalcore or when they mix it up you still don’t like them Firey? [35] The song was then followed by drummer Chris Turner speaking on the songs that saved his life. “Escapist” was the second single released, and yet another banger on a more than solid album. [32][33], On 15 August 2018 the band was announced to opening for Like Moths to Flames on their fall "Dark Divine" tour alongside Phinehas and Novelists beginning on 8 November. The band are currently signed to Fearless Records and are known for "uniting boundaries between multiple genres in modern metal" and for "fusing unpredictable polyrhythms and sporadic partnering of melodic and dissonant passages". The love of the music. (Even if old mate was the better screamer of the two). Musically you’ll feel anything but paralyisis as this song will without a doubt have you banging your head whether you’d want to or not. [6][7] On 7 May 2012 the band released their debut EP, "Into the Deep" through Vagrant Records they would go onto rerelease the EP later that year on Density Records.
Now though begins one of Oceans Ate Alaska‘s greatest chapters yet. It’s been a long time since we released anything, over two years since our last EP so we’ve grown up and got a lot better at our instruments and we’ve progressed as a band. James: Yesterday we played Newcastle and we’ve got a massive following there, it was insane. Breaking down the barriers of music and diversifying the musical taste of our userbase. (And yes, his part is just as fuck-off heavy as you think it is). So yeah we had complete control over what we did which was awesome and we like a challenge so we thought why not do Beyonce. Adam: I think every band on the tour has their own elements that make them stand out in a different way. As previously stated, Oceans Ate Alaska’s new album ... who is more than a solid replacement for James Harrison.
