Windmills by the Ocean - Windmills by the Ocean

 Blood On Our Souls


#21) Windmills by the Ocean - Windmills by the Ocean (2006)

 1. Undecided
 2. Blasphemy
 3. I Try
 4. Disintegrating
 5. Blood On Our Souls   

yet another random buy. i didn't know anything about these guys going in and i still don't know much. really the biggest bit of info i found is that the guitarist in this band is also the guitarist for Isis and Red Sparowes.
this was recorded in 2003 but not released until 06, i couldn't find any info as to why though. Encyclopaedia Metallum has these guys listed as "Instrumental Atmospheric Sludge Metal". as for the track list, i've seen it listed the way i have and as having all the tracks listed as "Untitled", i'm not sure which is correct, there's no track listing at all with the cd so i'm just gonna go with this.
while this album didn't really have anything new or mind blowing going on i did enjoy it. the songs were well crafted and they had a kind of trancy repetitive feel to them that i really liked. it should also be taken into account that in 2003 there probably wasn't such an over saturation of "post" bands doing this sort of thing, maybe if i would've heard it back then it would have seemed fresher. regardless, it was a solid listen and i'll likely pick up their 2nd album.
