Indian Ocean

by Obiat

supported by

Tom Shepherd Can transcendent progressive post-sludge be a thing? Stunning return after so long away. A head-nodding, thought-provoking tonal delight. Favorite track: Ulysses.

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Thirteen years after the release of their last album Obiat return with their best release to date. Crunching sludge like riffage, prog-metal complexity and post-rock textures twinned with clean powerful vocal melodies make this a must have album for those with a taste for intelligent and exciting rock music.

👁⃤ Obiat sooth and serrate in equal measure. You never know what to expect from these guys but it's always amazing. This may be their best work yet.

JC OBIAT compte parmi mes fabuleuses découvertes de l’année. Un groupe que je vais suivre de très près, à condition qu’ils sortent un prochain album avant ma mort. En effet Indian Ocean est leur second effort en treize ans. Favorite track: Beware The North Star.

Just some very quality stoner rock/metal. Excellent riffs, guitar tone, vocals, production, and great hooks. My biggest complaint about a lot of this kind of music is a lot of bands forget to include hooks. Acid Magus didn't. mobesneedmusic

Fell in love with this record, straight away I was hooked, the sound of the crunching guitars, electronic parts and the immaculate stunning voice. There's the doominess and the awesome rockin and rollin vibe that makes this album so great. Darknight
