Doom/post-rock trio OCCULT HAND ORDER present a stellar, mystical excerpt of their new album, due out on October 20th

French heavy psychedelic/post-rock outfit OCCULT HAND ORDER announce the release of their new album 'Silence By The Raging Sea' on October 20th 2023. To kick things off, they unveil a nebulous, cryptic first track: "Sink!

Lyon-based musicians OCCULT HAND ORDER have this ability to combine psychedelia and occult doom to produce an exhilarating soundscape, spiced with spectacular riffs and a crushing rhythmic pattern. With their new album 'Silence By The Raging Sea', OCCULT HAND ORDER play on the apocalyptic aspect of doom and post-rock-inspired soundscapes to point out an overwhelming, sometimes paralysing anxiety. The new track "Sink" perfectly introduces this unique, esoteric universe. Hugo Zepah (bass/vocals) details: "It's all about human beings who believe that they understand and that they are capable of dealing with powerful forces, beyond their control. We want to focus on our own failings: envy, greed and indifference, especially regarding the horrors that are striking us without us being able to stop them. Sink is the fall: sinking into dark, cold abysses".

Listen to the new track SINK from the upcoming new album 

In the absence of solution, violence and darkness provide an obvious way out. Like slow, impetuous waves, each track delivers a beauty either hypnotic or shattering. This gem has been mastered by Magnus Lindberg, Cult Of Luna's guitarist. Recorded and mixed by Roman Peyr in Chasseneuil, France. Art direction: TINS. Mastering: Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna). Artwork: Morgane Dezaubris.

 
New single "Sink" Off new album 'Silence By The Raging Sea'. Available on October 20th 2023 on vinyl and digital.

Formed in Lyon in 2018, heavy psychedelic trio OCCULT HAND ORDER might be defined as an interstellar ship committed to carrying cinder blocks from one foggy planet to another. Cosmicity, heaviness and esotericism colour doom, sludge and stoner riffs. The vocal harmonies are intense and lend a magical mysticism to the compositions.

Following the release of a self-titled debut effort in 2019, Occult Hand Order approached the appropriately named Interstellar Smoke Records label and offered the public the EP 'The Chained The Burned The Wounded'. The EP is warmly welcomed by the critics, opening the roads of the best European stages to the trio. Driven by the dynamism of these two releases, the French men's upcoming new studio album 'Silence By The Raging Sea' is due out on October 20th 2023.
