Hell yeah. She is a guest on the new ISON album and gracing metal magazine covers in the US , Europe & S.A. I love that we are finally expanding into a faceless community. Do you have any demos?
There's something nostalgic about the chorus. Sounds like something straight out of the 90s. And those crushing guitars and drums during the exit. I can't wait for this new album.
The music is dreamlike and drifting. The vocals are beautiful and powerful. I love Floor Jansen, Anneke Van Geisenberg, Brittany Slayes, Marcella Bovio. And now I love Cammie Gilbert.
Can't get over these vocals. Can't get over the moody composition and atmosphere this creates. Entranced, boiiii! The last 2 minutes of this song fucking KILL.
Me too. Discovered Ayreon in 2004. It was a new dimension of music. Now i´m glad i found this great band. The world needs more people who listen to beautiful music. The Ayreon Video with Cammie was uploaded on the day of my heart attack.
Well ... I'm 40 so I don't think of that angle when someone says that .. I immediately thought of a couple of Bands that had black female vocalists .. Skunk Anansie was 🔥🔥 And there was a band from Australia called Primary that never took off back in the day but I always thought they were brilliant ... So it's just about the talent and different mix black vocalists bring to metal .. not trying to even the identity politics scor .. It's not because of any reason other than more bangin' 🎶 ... I will put couple of songs from those vox I mentioned ..🤘
@@SatansDonkey666 Asking for diversity in music isn't virtue signaling. Metal was founded by breaking the standards of regular music. Sorry your fragile white masculinity can't handle black people or women in heavy metal. Fuckin' snowflake.
@@SatansDonkey666 don't over-react, there will inevitably come a time when labels, booking agents and venues are called on to openly play favorites and try to push trans/women/non-whites to the front of our scene, and that'll be the time to get upset, but just saying "hey I'd like it if there were more black women in metal" is nothing to get worked up over, Paula just likes the vibe she's getting from OOS and would like more of it, nuthin wrong with that at all.
I'm here because of Cammie's participating in a song by post-rock project ISON which was the first time I ever heard her. It'd sounded good, and I expected that her deep dark voice would suit metal music even better. But I didn't expect the music itself would appear so cool (I've read Cammie composes music, too) and her singing manner, apart from the voice, is so unlike anyone else's, simply mesmerizing. It's something subtle, but very unusual in her. I feel there's a gripping journey into Oceans of Slumber stretching itself before me :-)
there's a certain tension in this song that is from the start to the end, it bears a certain heaviness almost to the point of collapsing but not really. it's like a spring that's pulled to the maximum and about to brake but not really. very intense song, video and music. i believe the album is gonna be very heavy :O
Totally agree. If you take what you said and think of the song title. It's almost like your watching someone or someone watching you die and all you/they can do is say farewell
Wow! What can I say? The beginning very smooth, then the chorus kicks in with that beautiful melody, then that heavy guitar riff then that bridge hits you like 👀. What a beautiful dark song
[LYRICS] Broken glass and I am holding my breath Weak hands are trembling I thought today would be like any other But the bell jars coming down A sudden sinking and my heart is falling Right down into the ground I feel the panic inside overtaking Any resolve I thought I'd found On the ledge we danced, now we are falling And the walls are closing in When the darkness gathers, we are crawling And the worms are coming in My thoughts are racing and my heart is shattered Like a bird caught in a cage Like the sky that fights the storm from overtaking The serene I thought I'd found It waits for me Oh, it never really left It takes hold of me And it drags me straight to Hell On the ledge we danced, now we are falling And the walls are closing in When the darkness gathers, we are crawling And the worms are coming in In only a moment the tides have all changed Erasing the work and toil of previous days I lean into the void That I always knew would come to reclaim my light I have spent my whole life running And I have tried, I have tried to flee from myself I could never, no, I could never weather the storm That was rising, rising, rising from within me It doesn't matter the time in between Darkness carved its mark in me Carved its mark in everything But I'm done, I'm done running I stand in the rain Here I stand Purge my fear, and make my claim
I only discover this band now and it's the first time I see a rock/metal band fronted by a black woman since Skunk Anansie. I'm amazed by what I'm seeing and hearing. A perfect blend indeed.
Broken glass and I am holding my breath Weak hands are trembling I thought today would be like any other But the bell jars coming down A sudden sinking and my heart is falling Right down into the ground I feel the panic inside overtaking Any resolve I thought I'd found On the ledge we danced, now we are falling And the walls are closing in When the darkness gathers, we are crawling And the worms are coming in My thoughts are racing and my heart is shattered Like a bird caught in a cage Like the sky that fights the storm from overtaking The serene I thought I'd found It waits for me Oh, it never really left It takes hold of me And it drags me straight to Hell On the ledge we danced, now we are falling And the walls are closing in When the darkness gathers, we are crawling And the worms are coming in In only a moment the tides have all changed Erasing the work and toil of previous days I lean into the void That I always knew would come to reclaim my light I have spent my whole life running And I have tried, I have tried to flee from myself I could never, no, I could never weather the storm That was rising, rising, rising from within me It doesn't matter the time in between Darkness carved its mark in me Carved its mark in everything But I'm done, I'm done running I stand in the rain Here I stand Purge my fear, and make my claim
Me and my best friend, who is black, once jokingly decided to count black people vs men in skirts on a 10000 people metal festival. The end score (her included) was 9 black persons vs 24 men wearing a skirt. The black community is severely underrepresented in the metal world. That's why seeing this woman makes me so happy.
It still amazes me two of em are ex- Insect Warfare... And yeah, this is beautiful. Hope this album breaks them through to serious success. One of the best gigs i saw last year (swallow the sun headlining were equally fantastic.) Out of all the shows i saw 2019, Oceans need to be seen again almost the most (Rotting Christ are down for my got to see again #1 slot)

Technically and objectively speaking, in metal as a general genre, Floor Jansen, Tatiana Shmaylyuk, Cristina Scabbia, Sharon den Adel, Anneke van Giersbergen, etc, could be considered better metal singers. But in the genre of doom metal specifically, Cammie Gilbert is probably the best female singer.
She has one of my favorite voices in all of modern music as a whole. So pure, powerful and emotive without ever seeming forced or over the top. Just great.
This was amazing, glad I clicked. I love her voice, it fits so nicely. Also we need more black females in the metal industry, I hope this opens the eyes to future black females.
***Opens the eyes of the yt-dominated metal industry to the exceeding potential and necessity of black female singers.*** There are already black women who love and sing metal.
This is what I'm saying. If it was some rando singing with no character, I'd think "K, nice Candlemass tribute." Her voice takes it to another place, namely she takes it to chuuuuuuuuuuuuch
Their music moves me to tears, I absolutely LOVE them! The first song I heard was their cover of “On the Turning Away” by Pink Floyd. Been a big fan ever since. Cammie’s voice is simply lovely. Can’t wait for the new album ♥️
I love oceans of slumber! Every album brings a new feeling and sound and the new songs have a lot of soul in it mixed with metal. I will support and buy this album too 🤟🏼
I’ve never been a fan of any metal band. Until I listened to Oceans of Slumber. This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Awesome amazing song.
