French doom-psych magicians OCCULT HAND ORDER unveil new track "Sailors" off their upcoming album 'Silence By The Raging Sea' available on October 20th 2023. They also reveal the artwork and more details about the release, as well as a bunch a tour dates across Europe.

Heavy-psych/post-rock crew 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. Off their upcoming album 'Silence By The Raging Sea', new video "Sailors" was shot in Lyon, France, in Chromatique by Morgane Dezaubris and recorded by Tins. Hugo Zepah (bass/vocals) explains: "Sailors is courage in vain as we face the Beast that will in the end devour us. Facing the storm thundering. It's fear that wins over the toughest of us".
 

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. 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 (Mobsidian).

Formed in Lyon, France, 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.
