New Oceans of Slumber

They all but threw in the towel and told me as much to my face.  I got to see them in SL, UT.  They only had Cammie (vox), Dobber (the drummer) that played piano only and the bassist.  It was a special stripped down show.  I was lucky, yet at the same time since this was the only show of their's I had been to I was a little bummed I didn't get to see full heavy songs, especially missing Dobber just murder the drums.  Afterwords I spoke with them and they were all pretty dejected.  Not sure if the other members all quit or what.  But they said they weren't sure if they would go on.  Starlight and Ash is a masterpiece IMO.  Apparently Century Media wasn't too happy with it.  Nonetheless they came back and released Where Gods Fear To Speak.  The album cover is very reminiscent of the self titled album. Id say a clear indication they were going back to some of the earlier sound. This is true indeed, seeming to combine Starlight and previous album's sounds.  I enjoy it immensely and I am still reviewing it.  Curious if anyone thinks it rises to the heights of the last 2 albums or beyond even.
