With “Dirge for the Doomed”, ORACLE HANDS presents a debut album that pushes the boundaries of post-metal while constructing a brutal, atmospheric sound wall. After their promising demo tape in 2023, the band returns with seven intense tracks, firmly establishing themselves in a musical realm influenced by genres such as doom, black, death metal, as well as punk and grindcore.

Recorded at the renowned Tonmeisterei Oldenburg under the direction of Roland Wiegner, the album unfolds a dense, menacing atmosphere carried by driving blast beats, dark melodies, and an unstoppable sound avalanche. Particularly impressive is the balance between raw aggression and melancholic heaviness: relentless riffs and shrill noise passages meet heavy-hearted guitar harmonies, while the bass grinds ominously through the tracks and the versatile drumming continually introduces new dynamics.

The album’s intensity is further reinforced by the haunting, often resigned lyrics, manifested in an interplay of harsh screams and growls. ORACLE HANDSsucceeds in avoiding stylistic arbitrariness despite the overwhelming force. Instead, they demonstrate a keen sense of songwriting that oscillates between eruptive energy and atmospheric depth.

Fans of bands like Rosetta, Oathbreaker, or Hessian will immediately feel at home with “Dirge for the Doomed”. ORACLE HANDSmanages to carve out their own voice within the dense post-metal genre and deliver a debut work that demands attention. No enthusiast of intense, emotionally charged metal should miss this album.

The album will be coming out on April 25 via Moment of Collapse Records and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION
