OCEANS OF NIGHT – Midnight Rising (2014)

OCEANS OF NIGHT is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Scott Mosher who started as solo artist in the mid-Nineties with 4 albums under his belt, then in 2005 founded Oceans Of Night together with Scott Oliva (vocals) with Alan Smithee on drums.
“Midnight Rising” is their just released third effort, described by themselves as ‘bridges the worlds of progressive metal, melodic hard rock and atmospheric, ambient music’. I agree, and resulted in a quite fantastic blend if you ask me.
