Biography
Wellington City’s Of Blackest Oceans have been steadily gaining a name for themselves in New Zealand with their own brand of melting-pot metal, carefully combining different
elements of metal and other genres, alongside progressive elements such as polyrhythms and time signature changes.
2010 brought their first EP offering, Vultures (mixed and mastered by John Mitchell at Outhouse Studios), which was received positively throughout the New Zealand metal scene and with positive reviews in national music publications. The release of Vultures allowed OBO to seal the first chapter in their existence and finally begin work on new material.
Their latest work is featured in split EP with fellow Wellingtonians The Dauntless, titled Storm of the Century. These three new songs show the direction the band is headed in as they prepare to write their first full-length.
