Birmingham, UK metal quintet Oceans Ate Alaska has released an instrumental version of their latest album, Disparity, out now via Fearless Records.
“For Oceans, the instrumental release was always done out of pure demand,” the band explains.
“We put a tremendous effort into making the composition as dynamically rich as possible, no aspect of the instrumentation goes without a lot of time, care, and patience put in. When you apply this work ethic, it kinda makes sense that listeners want to hear a version without vocals; that’s not to say they don’t belong to the music, but the human voice tends to capture our ears before everything else so it’s a cool experience to be able to listen to everything that surrounds it.”
“With Disparity, our youthful sporadic compositional tendencies have been tempered, but only to give space to our lo-fi progressions, big room energy and fundamental song structure. We are very excited about this instrumental release as it will be a new experience for everyone!”
The band is also doing a 24-hour livestream of all of the visualizers for the instrumental versions.
