BIOGRAPHY
Founded in 2014, oracles quickly became a transnational project featuring well seasoned musicians Sanna Salou, Sven de Caluwe (Aborted), Ken Bedene (Aborted), Mendel Bij de Leij (aborted), Steve Miller (ex-System Divide) and Andrei Aframov (ex-Onoma). Oracles set out to revolutionise the conventions and borders of modern metal by seemlessly blending melody, groove and shredding technicality. The band recorded a debut album entitled 'Miserycorde’ which breaks all the rules of extreme metal and is the birth of something truly unique.
"Miserycorde" was produced, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (EPICA, VOLBEAT, DESTRUCTION, AMARANTHE, ABORTED) and features artwork by Colin Marks from Rain Song Design (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, NEVERMORE, EXODUS, SYL, ABORTED, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE). Featuring the guest appearances by Jeff Loomis (ARCH ENEMY, ex-NEVERMORE), Per Nilsson (SCAR SYMMETRY), Ryan Knight (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER).
As opposed to interjecting simple, predictable clean choruses into contrived song structures, oracles unite serene female vocals and extreme vocals driven by lyrical themes that confront and seek to break everyday themes of disillusionment, societal materialism, and individual apathy wrapped in an occult theme.
Musically, the band delivers myriad styles of technical riffing and grooves, while augmenting the entrancing soundscapes with hard-hitting drums and intricate bass lines. These elements together define the unique, spell binding, hypnotic sound of Oracles.
