Watch the new video for OCEANS OF SLUMBER's The Hanging Tree

25 July 2022

OCEANS OF SLUMBER have released a new video to accompany their current album, Starlight And Ash, which is out now via Century Media.

As vocalist Cammie Beverley explains, The Hanging Tree explores the band's childhood:

“An old childhood home, a frequently visited spot along the meadow, a closet we pass in our grandmother's house, a tree in the town centre that has scars from its terrible past... places hold memories and they never forget them even when buried under the changes of time.”

The Texan prog metal band's fifth album takes more of a singer-songwriter approach with softer vocals, and explores the fictional tale of a religious group, coloured by Beverley's own upbringing.

The video for The Hanging Tree was directed by Angela Herr and Bianca Greene for FirstSight Agency and is thematically tied to its post-apocalyptic predecessor The Lighthouse.
