about

Active since 2001, Ocean Chief is known in the doom underground for creating huge epics. Rarely do the songs stay under 10 minutes and often they’re twice as long. Sten (Swedish word for “stone”) is the band’s fourth full-length album and first done in collaboration with I HATE. It introduces a permanent keyboardist, and the songwriting has become more refined and varied, with a bigger emphasis placed on melodies. The four gargantuan tracks are hard and heavy as the bedrock but moments of respite are generously allowed along the way. Think of every song as a journey and take your time with Sten. If you do, you’ll end up with your forehead pressed against the ground at certain times and soaring high above the earth at others.

What an immense doom record from a band that only makes immense records in an ocean of catharthis and dark hypnosis. At a level of mastery rivaling Skepticism and Conan. Hail the Ocean Chief Endless Metal Podcast

Color Trails is on my headphones, the eerie, lonesome guitar floating above the deep drone of the bass, the synthesizer giving voice to a counter-melody. Writing this has re-written history for me. My "Mount Rushmore" of guitarists is being re-arranged. My mind has been altered, my perception sharpened. My entire sense of the history of the heavy underground has undergone a substantial revision. Scott Spiers
