OCEANS OF SADNESS: In Writing Mode

September 16, 2009

Belgian progressive metallers OCEANS OF SADNESS have issued the following update:

"Thought it might be a good idea to let you all know what's cooking in our kitchen these days since we've been rather silent these last couple of months. I guess you could say we kind of needed a short break from it all...

"After the recordings of[2008's] 'The Arrogance Of Ignorance', we immediately got back to writing new material and I guess this may have been a bit too fast... Although the new songs we have written already are, again, the best stuff we've done so far, it still felt kind of soon and maybe even a bit pointless at that time... and so we decided to take it easy for a while. And we have to tell you: it felt kind of good and relaxing.

"But I guess it's about time now we put the gloves back on our fists and get our asses back in the ring for another round of sheer musical madness!

"We'll get back to writing the best new songs we can as of from now and at the same time we're already thinking about 2010 since we have quite a lot to celebrate next year!

"In 2010 we'll be celebrating our 15th year of existence as a band and at the same time it's been exactly 10 years since our debut, 'For We Are', saw light! So I guess you could say this calls for some sort of celebration."

OCEANS OF SADNESS' fifth album, "The Arrogance of Ignorance", was produced by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street in Örebro, Sweden and contains 10 tracks. The album includes an additional guest appearance by Johan Liiva (formerly of ARCH ENEMY, HEARSE) on the track "In The End". Artwork was created by the Greek artist Seth Siro Anton.
