Visual Art: Turner / Adam Jones / old/obscure photography | | Sounds Like | "A true story inspired a poem, which inspired a
painting by J.M.W. Turner, The Slave Ship, which has in turn inspired
this exceptional record. The story is that of the captain of a ship who
was transporting slaves when a typhoon struck. The captain saw his
opportunity, and ordered that any slaves who were sick or dying be thrown
overboard, to collect on an insurance policy only covering slaves lost at
sea. A stark parallel between the terrible beauty of nature, and the
terrible potential of human nature. An ambitious subject to tackle
musically. This is exactly what Sepia Dreamer have attempted to do with
this intriguing instrumental album. The music is often atmospheric,
melodic and contemplative but also highly evocative in terms of the power
of the storm. Certain passages actually feel like waves, rhythmically
hitting the ship, then the dreadful anticipation before the riff hits
again. The album is carefully crafted to build to a startling and
enthralling climax in the final track 'Capitulation'; and could work as
the soundtrack to the story. Wonderful." (Zero Tolerance magazine). | | Record Label | Unsigned | | Type of Label | Major |

| About Sepia Dreamer |
..
"By opting to explore the sublime Sepia Dreamer are boldly inserting themselves into a tradition that has inspired many great works, in all artistic disciplines, over several centuries. This is a grand undertaking to say the least, but it is also the sort of risk that more bands need to take when it comes time to producing that make-or-break second album... Much thought and work has obviously gone into these ambitious compositions. This is first and foremost a progressive metal record that seeks to deliver emotional impact through the consideration of harmony, melody, texture, rhythm and form."
UltimateMetal.Com (Tom Strutton)
If I would choose five words to describe this four-song long-player, they would be jazzy, progressive, instrumental, flowing and colorful. In The Sublime, expectation is challenged in a way, that you'll discover that there are still records able to question what one's predisposed to assume. The music is rather intricate and technical, as it's candid and unpretentious, which might easily appeal to both followers and non-followers of the more elaborate and layered Metal styles.
