Uniting boundaries between multiple genres in modern metal, Oceans Ate AlaskaChris Turner [Drums], James Kennedy [Guitar], Mike Stanton [Bass], Adam Zytkiewicz [Guitar], and Jake Noakes [Vocals]made waves during 2015 with their full-length debut Lost Isles. Fusing unpredictable polyrhythms and a sporadic partnering of melodic and dissonant passages, Rock Sound and Revolver both pegged Oceans Ate Alaska as a Band to Watch, while they landed on Alternative Presss 100 Bands You Need To Know list and covered HM Magazine. The Birmingham, UK, technical metal quintets second full-length album, Hikari, translates to Light in English and represents their current mindset, illuminating major strides in the groups sonic vocabulary. Following a lyrical and musical theme rooted in Samurai mythology, the 11-track album blends traditional Japanese instruments with Oceans Ate Alaskas dynamic flare. Ultimately, Hikari means both a new light for Oceans Ate Alaska and heavy music at large.
