Flavor of The Week: Oceans of Slumber
Houston based female fronted progressive metal band Oceans of Slumber formed in 2011. OoS was started by drummer Dobber Beverly who was in-between musical projects before forming the band and seeking a vocalist who fit in with the type of music the band aimed to produce, "...She was honestly the piece of the puzzle we were missing all along, " Beverly raves. "From the beginning of the band I've wanted it to be female fronted. I wanted the dynamics, the delicacy, and the rage only a woman's voice can offer." The band's leading lady is the beautiful siren Cammie Gilbert who has a lovely blues based vocal range and depth. The band gained a lot of buzz with their really lovely cover of the candlemas song 'Solitude'. My only criticism of this band is that I don't quite think of them as a progressive metal band (like in the way of Opeth or Dream Theatre). Their sound is more in line with Alt. Metal in my opinion.
