Oh, Sleeper

An empowering call-to-arms descends upon the weak-minded, the undecided, the superficially concerned with the arrival of Son Of The Morning, the new album from Oh, Sleeper.

On the followup to their When I Am God debut, these Texan lads obliterate any notions of the “sophomore slump” with an alarming urgency sure to excite anyone with even a cursory interest in bands like Underoath, Slipknot or Dillinger Escape Plan. Oh, Sleeper has crafted a concept album detailing the final battle between the devil (with Micah Kinard screaming in character on the title track) and God (with Kinard answering on The Finisher, which closes the record) from start to finish.

Produced by Andreas Magnusson (Black Dahlia Murder), Oh, Sleeper’s Son Of The Morning is poised to turn 2009 upside down.

Oddly enough, failure is the binding fabric that held the members of recently formed Oh, Sleeper together and kept them from slowly embedding themselves further in defeat. “Everyone in this project refused to continue on with our lives until we’ve made the difference that we are supposed to make in music,” says drummer Ryan Conley.

Oh, Sleeper brings a full plate of heavy and dark guitars with thought out lyrics that refuse to shy away from truth. Music is a weapon and these five plan to fully utilize this divine appointment for nothing other than a purpose greater than themselves. Starr explains: “At the end of the day, a song is nothing more than a bunch of notes and chords strategically thrown together. Don’t get me wrong, music is awesome but I feel there is something more to this life than writing a hit song and selling records. Anyone can learn how to play an instrument, but what good is it if you only use that talent for self gratification?”

Oh, Sleeper features former members of Between The Buried And Me, As Cities Burn and Terminal.
