Here is another album adding to the growing discography of aquatic and nautical themed black metal that has been steadily growing over recent years, from Old Corpse Road, Elfesgedroch, Benthik Zone, Thermohaline, Firtan, Opprobe and more.
The abysses of the Earth are a crushing, intense, lightless environment suited to black metal explorations, and the environmentalist angle of the power of this uncharted area of the natural world offers an equally immense potential of musical ideas.
Oceanic Womb is a concept album about humans polluting, degrading, and over-harvesting the ocean and life within it, and through a suitably atmospheric mix of doomy blackened death metal, is an expression of the rage and disgust felt towards corruption which fuels the seas’ demise.
