The Ocean EP

Grey Incredible work. The anxiety and horror of the ocean is so present in the music and lyrics. Sad that I came upon this project after its conclusion but excited to see what the musician behind it will do next if anything. Will be a blessing regardless I figure. Favorite track: Pale Foam of Mourning.

dcdirkzwager I never expected to say this, but here we are: this is great athmo black, but I wish the songs were a bit longer.
Hah, that's a statement you don't see often, right? The flow is awesome on this record, so the ending of especially the first song is a bit abrupt. It is an EP that leaves me hungry for sure. Favorite track: Pale Foam of Mourning.

ptchronic Atmospheric and beautiful black metal. Can't wait to hear more! Favorite track: The Ocean Pt. 1.

about

Ocean-themed Black Metal from North Carolina
More from Iōhannēs:
iohannes.bandcamp.com

“From the vaults of unreleased material, Iōhannēs calls up a mighty wave of ocean-themed black metal with The Ocean EP. The second release ever made by the North Carolina-based musician, entirely self-produced, and the first to feature vocals, it’s a short but powerful statement on their connection to the waters that once gave us life. From the striking orchestral opening of The Ocean Pt. 1 to the ominous synths of the closing track Vessel On The Edge Of The Sea, this EP will carry the listener along like a tidal wave and bring them through a harrowing journey into the depths of the sea and their own psyche.”

"This is a beautiful album. It's haunting, desolate and dark." - shawntology. Bandcamp Review

Full Reviews:
"In my opinion Iōhannēs are a very great sounding progressive black metal solo project" - 8/10 - Occult Black Metal Zine

"...this album is certainly not one to listen to if you aren’t prepared to be bummed out, as the ending leaves a lasting gut punch." - NOOBHEAVY

about

Iōhannēs North Carolina

Iōhannēs was a project born out of a need to express and expel the darker parts of the mind. In doing so, the project eventually lost form and traction, and has since been retired. I am still proud of the work, but ultimately the job was done, and the time had come to move on. Thank you to everyone who still cares about this little bedroom project. Much love. ... more
