about
The spark of life ignites. A heart beats once again in a lifeless chest. Light penetrates the darkness. The Survivor awakens in the land of the living.
Surfacing is the final instalment of Chapter II of The Survivor's saga, and chronicles his struggle to ascend from the ocean's depths. Pursued and harried by otherworldly forces, it is a trial he cannot succumb to, for mankind must be forewarned of the tide of darkness that is about to be unleashed...
The story will continue.

lyrics
Do you believe in ghosts?
Do you believe in a presence beneath the waves?
Beneath the surface
Beneath the surface
Cold light illuminates, a night of endless nights fades away
Ascend from this lonesome place, old friend carry me home
The ocean whispers, it calls to me
Igniting the spark, reviving hopes and dreams
Suspended in the blue divide, I see the light
It's within my reach
Striving for the light, tearing free from the void's vice grip
Breaking these shackles binding me
New currents churn with the beating of a dead heart
Breath of rebirth fill my lungs as a pulse of life resonates
Creatures of the chasm surge forth
Hell's horde unleashed upon this world
Fell shadow spreading, lungs burning
Demons ascending, limbs striving
My battered form breaks the waves
Surfacing, clarity, hidden depths bely, thalassic hordes arise
Cerulean sea, fury, rain swept sky beckon me
Grasp life, emerge, revenant of the ocean
Strike out across the waves
Cold light illuminates, night of endless nights fade away
Ascend from this lonesome place, old friend carry me home
Fractured mind, lacerated soul
Dark import, fate foretold
Drowning me, crushing me, dragging me down into the void
Free myself from hell eternal
A world where chaos thrives, ancient realm where horrors writhe
Fell shadow spreading, lungs burning
Demons ascending, limbs striving
You've failed, I will never succumb
I am a harbinger of foretold fate
Impending violence yet to break
Rise, rise, rise, rise
The ocean whispers, it calls to me
Igniting the spark, reviving hopes and dreams
Suspended in the blue divide, I see the light, it's within my reach
Surfacing, clarity, hidden depths bely, thalassic hordes arise
Cerulean sea, fury, rain swept sky beckon me
Grasp life, emerge, revenant of the ocean
Strike out across the waves
Cerulean sea, fury, rain swept sky
I'm surfacing

Oceans & Omens is a five-piece metalcore band comprising: Sean O’Brien (vocals), Rowan Leah (lead guitar), Aaron Ganley
(rhythm guitar), Nathan Menage (bass), & Kieran Wallace (drums). They blend quintessential Australian old-school & modern metalcore sounds with an epic narrative of gods & monsters, of war & vengeance, & the hidden horrors that lurk beneath the waves....more
There's a tonne of technical mastery on display throughout this album, but it maintains non-stop groove and catchiness. Currently my favourite album.

The dynamic journey that Atlas takes the listener on, from the sonic assault of Snake Oil to the blissfully pure clarity of The River, makes every track on this record memorable. Oceans & Omens
Chicago deathcore outfit Into the Silo torch everything in sight on this searing new LP with riffs that will leave bruises. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 21, 2022
