Houston prog metal band Oceans of Slumber unveil "House Of The Rising Sun" cover
Houston prog metal band Oceans of Slumber have dropped their cover of "House Of The Rising Sun.”
The band said this about their version of the beloved folk song, which can be heard below:
“With leanings and inspirations from the Texas/Louisiana border, we felt that this cover was a perfect fit to the storytelling essence of the album. Going back to the female perspective of the song’s original version, we capture the troubled story of a traveler along the coast.”
"House Of The Rising Sun" comes from Oceans of Slumber’s forthcoming studio album Starlight and Ash, which will be out on July 22 via Century Media. Pre-orders for the album can be made here.
Starting on August 27, Oceans of Slumber will be touring in support of their studio album. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public.
