#Oar 🇦🇺 out 7 January 2022

Sydney-based post-black metal collective OAR have announced the release of their debut full-length album “The Blood You Crave”, due out in early 2022 via Blighttown Records.

With a resume that includes past and present stints in a wide and varied selection of bands like Eleventh He Reaches London, Futility, Illimitable Dolor, Lycanthia, Sleepmakeswaves and Tucker B’s, OAR ‘s band members absorbed all these influences to craft an album that explores such wide-raging genres as post-black metal, doom and hardcore.

Recorded and mixed by Ben Worsey at Everland Studios in Sydney, the follow-up to 2018’s EP “Sect Burner” shows the band’s evolution from its early lo-fi blackgaze approach to full frequency post-black metal, unleashing the songs on “The Blood You Crave” at their true intensity. With themes circling around oppression, sacrifice, self-loathing, separation anxiety and corruption of the self, the overall sound of “The Blood You Crave”  can only be described as atmospheric misery.
