Oakland, California-based progressive doom metal sextet Secrets of the Sky (three of the band's six members each contributing with multiple instruments) projects a unique brand of cinematic, cerebral, atmospheric metal with a heavy persuasion towards doom metal and even more blackened influences. The debut album from this new but skilled act, 'To Sail Black Waters', is a modern and unique mix of elements from a multitude of genres. With up to three guitar tracks, two and three keyboards at a time and a multitude of vocal styles - clean and epic lines against hollow and blackened battle cries and crushing, low-end growls - the band creates huge buildups and epic movements as expansive as the cosmos. Limited edition 12" LP (500 copies worldwide) on clear blue 180 grams vinyl. For fans of The Ocean, Opeth, Isis, Agalloch.
