In a world where metal has taken many avenues and alleys into sub genres, Oracle, formed in 2016 by Father and son duo Ray and Trey Ozinga of Baldwin County Alabama along with, Jason Long of Mobile county Alabama to create something truly unique that encapsulates many of these genres. The result is an extreme metal band with emphasis on musicality, grooves and epic passages that sonically attack and satisfy all senses of metal enthusiast all around. Since our first album Beyond Omega, released in the early summer of 2016, we have played many shows along the gulf coast. 2017’s release of Into The Unknown and 2018’s release of Seven Deadly Sins has seen the same support and we have sold many albums world wide. 2020 will yield the next endeavor for Oracle with more shows and the release of Hindsight is 20/20 which will be the most matured and detail oriented albums to date. The journey is long but, we’re strong!
Oracle (Alabama, U.S.) brings forward a little bit more of a fun take than just the heaviness and aggressive vocals of the usual groove sound. It is not a big problem to say this is basically a groove style, but it is also more than groove. What they do is more fun than standard groove and possibly more interesting to a variety of heavy rock audiences. Their mix of U.S. heaviness and a European sense of melody comes to the forefront after just a few songs.
Usually, groove bands love shout/scream/growl vocals, and loud heaviness, and are perfectly happy to display those two big elements as their bread and butter. This is where Oracle offers a bit more. For instance, it is a subtle thing that they do, but they do add some melodies to their songs. This is not a melodic death metal band per se, but they use some of those ideas for their own. At those times, the metal riffs (not just the heavy grooves) come out more sharply, and another angle emerges for seeing the various changes that the band employs for finding more layers. The music is not super melodic, but their use of melody shines a light into how the band makes things more interesting for themselves and the listeners. Another example is the keyboards. It’s not clear if any member of the band plays keyboards or if this sampled sounds or the production/band team adding these sounds, but it results in some smooth passages. Sometimes it seems like it is not keyboards but just fun little sounds in the background.
Probably the best thing about the album is how they keep things interesting by taking U.S. groove into further areas where is there more freedom, not just the heavy and brutal side. The heaviness is there and all, but there are other elements, like melody, keyboards/effects, some singing, and other things, that make the album more than a band grooving away, displaying only anger and heaviness. For instance, “Pandora’s Box” is a bit like a melodic death metal power ballad. At any rate, this album is a kind of combination of groove and melodic death metal (plus other spicy additions), like a U.S.-European hybrid in style.
