This is the most agonizing demo I have ever had the privilege to listen to. The sheer horror and terror in the landscape of silent noise and crushing landslides that they create here is no doubt the reason the best bands come out of the most obscure places. As Ocean hails from the wooded hide away state of Maine, closed in with nothing around but mountains, trees and the deep dark sea to guide you home. Well, with a bottle of whiskey in one hand and a shotgun in the other, this would be the soundtrack to one's own suicidal breakdown. So for all those folks that enjoy that happy 'let's get high and bust out some jams', this is not your trip. These motherfuckers lay it on thick and heavy, this isn't stoner doom, this is pure slit your wrists and break out the whiskey before i go, doom. If you ever want the feeling of being trapped in a dark enclosed environment then you found the perfect music to get you thru it all. I mean the demo has 2 songs and it's just over 25 minutes long, this is DOOM!
