Projecting a unique brand of cinematic, cerebral, atmospheric metal with a persuasion towards doom metal and blackened influences citing The Ocean, Ahab, Minsk, Rosetta, Agalloch, Year Of No Light and more, on To Sail Black Waters, three of SECRETS OF THE SKY’s six-member lineup each make contributions with multiple instruments, layering synth/keys, violins and an array of vocal styles atop the crushing rhythm section and massive triple guitar attack. The resulting four massive tracks a dense and stunning forty-one minute opus, thundering with pristine and powerful production, the outcome of a massive spread-out eight month period of recording sessions at Trident Studios with engineer/producer Juan Urteaga (Testament, Machine Head, Cattle Decapitation).
