Dawn Of Ouroboros unveil brand new video for ‘Dueling Sunsets’

It’s finally here! ‘Bioluminescence‘ the new studio album from Dawn Of Ouroboros is out now for the whole world to hear. This record has turned heads with its incredible ability to mix elements of black metal, prog and jazz. 

Lyrically inspired by nature and more specifically on Bioluminescence. The album is inspired by the ocean, the flora, fauna and alchemical magic of the sea that provides a rich seam of poetic beauty for the band to explore. 

“Much like emotion, bioluminescence is a vibrant reaction to things in its environment,” vocalist Chelsea comments. 

The contrast of harsh black metal shrieks and smooth, jazzesque moments mirrors the untameable nature of the ocean. An abyssal, claustrophobic thread runs through the sound of the album itself-expanding and contracting as the songs undulate and pulsate.

To celebrate the record’s release, the band has dropped a new mesmerizing video for the track ‘Dueling Sunsets’. Please let me know if it would be possible to shout about the new video and record to help spread the word!

Creatively spearheaded by guitarist Tony Thomas (also of Botanist) and vocalist Chelsea Murphy, DAWN OF OUROBOROS conjures up an atmospheric blend of black and death metal. Whilst Chelsea’s distinctive vocals both scathe and soothe, there is a vicious underpinning of progressive and propulsive extremity that unites their sound into something cohesive and alluring. Outside the band, Tony works as a molecular biologist – his thorough and research driven approach to his job carries over to the way he creates within the band. In contrast, Chelsea frequently improvises her vocal parts in the studio, allowing pure emotion to guide the development of lyrical concepts and delivery.

Writing for Bioluminescence started before Velvet Incandescence had even hit the streets; never ones to rest on their laurels, DAWN OF OUROBOROS were already feeling out their next steps and embracing their most adventurous songwriting journey to date. The album is peppered with odd time signatures and built from unorthodox song structures that draw from jazz influences as much as they do from any extreme metal inspirations.

An abyssal, claustrophobic thread runs through to the sound of the album itself – expanding and contracting as the songs undulate and pulsate. Bioluminescence was primarily self recorded, with additional engineering by Nick Loiacono at Fang Studios in San Mateo. The mixing was handled by Lewis Johns at The Ranch in Southampton, UK, and mastering was done by Grant Berry at Fader Mastering in Manchester, UK. The ethereal artwork was created by Alex Eckman Lawn.

DAWN OF OUROBOROS are illuminating the path forward as they approach the release of Bioluminescence. Once again they find themselves with much to celebrate as an even brighter future beckons.
