Being As An Ocean Releases New Album, Death Can Wait! and Unleashes New Music Video “Gloom”
It’s finally here. The Los Angeles - based melodic hardcore veterans Being As An Ocean have finally released their highly anticipated new album, Death Can Wait. To celebrate the album’s release, the band have shared a brand new, visualizing music video for their track “Gloom”.
“Gloom” is Being As An Ocean at their emotional and personal peak. The track delivers a heartfelt message on how resilient the human spirit is. It’s a reminder that no matter how bleak things seem, or whatever battles we are going through, with enough courage and resilience, we can push through the demons that haunt our minds everyday and prevail. The layered sounds give the song a haunting atmosphere and breathe a sense of life into what is a raw but emotive post-hardcore song.
"Gloom’ is a song about recognizing our own personal demons and the character flaws that we all have. With self-awareness, we can begin to see when they pop up and poke their heads into our lives. We can fight back. Each of us have different 'monsters' inside of us, but that also means with practice and growth, we each have different heroic qualities in us. These are the positive things that we must grow and foster out of necessity to fight our own personal mental battles. We then take those strengths and bring them into the physical world as forces of change for good. The song is an encouragement to anyone who is struggling with an internal battle. As long as you continue to fight and persevere, with grace, acceptance, and love for yourself, you will grow more than you could have ever imagined. We can slay or at least tame the monsters in us," - Being As An Ocean on the track’s theme and message.
Prior to the album’s release, the band released four singles, “Death Can Wait”, “Swallowed By The Earth”, “Flesh And Bone”, and “The Fullness of My Being”. Now with the full release, adding six more tracks, Death Can Wait carries another set of personal and emotional songs that fans can connect with on a deep level. Being As An Ocean is known for their skill of creating thoughtful and evocative music that speaks directly to the soul and Death Can Wait continues that journey that the band has set forth.
