14092014 - Ocean Chief "Sten"

Last day of Høstsabbat, and I'm catching up on Ocean Chief, who released this album last year. It's heavy as a mountain and deliciously sludgy and raw, taking cues from bands like Sleep, Yob, Conan and Ufomammut, without sounding like a copy of either. The four songs that make out this album range from 15 to 20 minutes, making this an album that will keep on growing with repeated spins. It's already monumentally impressive from the first listen, so I'm definitely looking forward to checking them out live tonight!
