VI.BE

With a musical style that's inspired by a wide plethora of different musical styles, it's hard to place this group into a single defined genre, placing them firmly among the original "modern djentcore" groups of the region. In 2018 they recorded all the songs on their new EP in their home studio, and teamed up with CHS PROD to produce their debut EP "Clock". Fusing all the heaviest rythmic sections of djent with brutal vocals and soaring chords of metalcore, they fill in the gaps with the occasional machine-gun rap verse and succeed in bringing together the best of all worlds. With songs like "Clock" and "Angry People" Ocean Encounters puts their heaviest foot forward and shows what they're made of, with both songs offering a wide and dynamic range of everything the modern metal sound incorporates.

On top of a new EP, new set, and a blistering number of shows, Ocean Encounters has just gotten back from recording their album at Pitchback Studios in Köln, Germany. The album is planned to release in early 2020, with a release tour also in the works around the Benelux/France/Germany scene.

They are also very present on social media with a weekly vlog set to kick back off after their summer hiatus. These vlogs serve as a way for the band to stay in touch with their base, as well as an opportunity to expose and share other bands and local venues to offer them a chance at advertising their newest endeavours.
