January 27, 2015 • Leave a Comment

Birmingham, UK's Oceans Ate Alaska has premiered the chilling music video for their new single "Vultures and Sharks," with the song available for purchase on iTunes. The track is featured on the band's forthcoming debut album Lost Isles, set to release February 24th. Filmed in the United Kingdom, directors Adam Barker and Oliver Price of VideoInk looked to bring out the aggression heard throughout the song by playing off nature's most destructive elements.

Lead vocalist James Harrison explains, "We had a ton of fun back in December shooting our video for V&S. We were soaking wet and freezing cold for the majority of it, which sure took it's toll both mentally and physically. Artistically we wanted the video to coincide with the track lyrically, hence the rain, wind, and storms. Hopefully the finished product enriches those emotions contained within this song."

Lost Isles is available for pre-order digitally on iTunes featuring instant downloads of tracks "Blood Brothers," "Floorboards," "Vultures and Sharks," and on MerchNow with several bundle options for fans. Visit OceansAteAlaska.co.uk for more information and to watch the video.

Oceans Ate Alaska is gearing up for their European tour in support to Chelsea Grin, set to kick off next week in Niemark, Germany on February 5th.

OCEANS ATE ALASKA - Stemming from Birmingham, UK, Oceans Ate Alaska is made up of James Harrison (Vocals), James Kennedy (Guitar), Adam Zytkiewicz (Guitar), Mike Stanton (Bass), and Chris Turner (Drums). The band offers a progressive strain of experimental modern metalcore that has gotten them noticed as one of metal's most exciting and fresh young names. With music as unpredictable as it is expressive, the band found inspiration for their name from the world's largest recorded mega-tsunami - measuring at 1,700 feet high - that demolished Alaska's coastline in 1958. The band was attracted to the natural disaster's national headline that read "Oceans Ate Alaska" where they decided to carry the name on a path to make their own history. By pushing sonic boundaries, Oceans Ate Alaska aim to take listeners on an emotional journey through unpredictable arrangements (both heavy and melodic), ruthless riffs, and unforgiving guttural vocals; setting an atmospheric landscape that showcases the band's technical skill.
