'Every Ocean Reversed' is a highly mature piece of work from a relatively young band. Featuring six songs and clocking in just under an hour in length the album traverses a lot of ground; journeying between crushing waves of heavy, iconic riffs and gorgeous tremelo sections that are breathtakingly beautiful and strangely anthemic.
Seven Nautical Miles are not just another so-called 'Neurisis' band. Yes, they play long songs and yes, many would regard them as a 'post-metal' or 'post-rock' band. However, there is much more at work here.
'Every Ocean Reversed' is a stunning album, with a much more diverse sound than many oft-criticised 'epic' metal bands. The heavier moments are incredibly dense with a doom/sludge tinged feel to them; the lighter moments move and interact with the rest of the music with a grace most bands are rarely blessed with. The songwriting of the album is second to none of SNM's contemporaries.
The album was mixed by Magnus Lindberg (Cult of Luna).
Artwork was done by Pierre Johansson (Breach).
The album comes packaged in a 6-panel digipak with a matte finish.
Quite simply put, you need this album if you're a fan of heavy, thoughtful music.
