Okular - Norwegian Progressive Death-Metal Outfit Ft Members of Defect Designer and Diskord Share Entire New Album "Regenerate"
Norwegian death-metal outfit Okular today share their entire third full-length album “Regenerate”, just two days ahead of the release date set for this Friday, June 7th via Regenerative Productions. The album is streaming above.
This new effort brings a halt to an eleven-year hiatus, being the first full-length release from the band since their 2013’s second album “Sexforce” and it's safe to say that the wait has been well worth it.
Formed in 2009 by composer, lyricist and backing vocalist Andreas Aubert, who writes all the material in Guitar Pro, Okular have released two full-length albums to wide-spread critical acclaim. “Probiotic” in 2011, which Øystein G. Brun from Borknagar called a “mandatory listen” and was elected album of the month in Norway’s Scream Magazine. The album featured Yngve Bolt Christiansen (Blood Red Throne vocalist 2012–2023) as co-vocalist. On the sophomore album “Sexforce” (2013), guest vocals were provided by Vintersorg (Borknagar vocalist 2000–2019) on the track “The Greatest Offender”.
In addition to the band's expected prog death metal mastery, “Regenerate” sees Okular recapturing that Scandinavian melodic approach present on their first album “Probiotic”, merged with the groove and sporadic dissonance that characterised “Sexforce”. Pre-orders are now available here.
