Hailing from the ashes of Charlotte, USA’s darker side comes forth the blackened death trio, Oculum Dei. Mixing different elements and influences of black metal, the band is set to bring forth a horde of darkness and engage listeners into a realm of deep, chaotic experiences.
Hellbent to unleash their demonic war chants from their debut full length “Dreams of Desire and Torment” on February 22, 2019, the band has teamed with Bravewords.com for the exclusive premiere for the album’s full stream.
The band adds:
“The album as a whole is an eclectic mix of slow dark black metal jumping into extreme black riffs sometimes slowed down with a death metal riff and into acoustic guitars. There is no set template for this one, just a groove and feel that each of us has brought to the table.”
Listen to “Dreams of Desire and Torment” in full at http://bravewords.com/news/exclusive-oculum-dei-streaming-dreams-of-desire-and-torment-in-full
First forming as a studio project in 2016 by Tenebris (bass/drum and keys programming), Camalus (guitar) and Zebulv (vocals/guitar), Oculum Dei has taken their influences of Emperor, Behemoth and Dark Funeral and push an eclectic unholy blasphemy as far as it will go in the Southern USA’s Bible Belt.
Not content to remain as a studio project, the trio has begun performing locally and have shared the stage with Carach Angren, Wolfheart, and Mors Principum Est. Clad in corpse paint with an elaborate and continuously evolving stage show, Oculum Deihas heavily invested into their extreme visionary madness.

Hailing from the ashes of Charlotte, USA’s darker side comes forth the blackened death trio, Oculum Dei. Mixing different elements and influences of black metal, the band is set to bring forth a horde of darkness and engage listeners into a realm of deep, chaotic experiences.
Hellbent to unleash their demonic war chants from their debut full length “Dreams of Desire and Torment” on February 22, 2019, the band is sharing their latest music video “Involuntary Pandemic”. The track is an intense brutal force, a violent asking about where God is when bad shit happens and why one should be a believer, especially when a child is being harmed or murdered.
Bassist/ drummer Tenebris adds:
“Involuntary Pandemic is almost a straight death metal blast to the face with Zebs well place rant on religion, the hypocrisy of the church and asking where are your Gods when bad stuff happens.”

Hellbent to unleash their demonic war chants from their debut full length on February 22, 2019, the band is sharing the latest music video for the album’s title track “Dreams of Desire and Torment”.
“The title itself explains the mood changes within the lyrics and the instruments, it goes from a calming deep trance of thought into a chaotic atmosphere of frustrations where basically one is conflicted within them-self dreaming of desires and wants, but being tormented having the dreams knowing they will never happen.”

The first single off the debut “Blinded By Gods” is a tribute to old school black metal with riffs and slings lyrics towards Christianity being a fake while saying only God exists in us.

Located in the Bible Belt of the southern USA the goal was to take influences from Emperor, Behemoth and Dark Funeral and push this eclectic unholy blasphemy as far as it would go.

Formed in 2016 as a studio project, Tenebris (bass/drum and keys programming) was looking to spread filth with a black metal project and quickly recruited Camalus (guitar) and Zebulv (vocals/guitar) to join the fray. Located in the Bible Belt of the southern USA the goal was to take influences from Emperor, Behemoth and Dark Funeral and push this eclectic unholy blasphemy as far as it would go.
Not content to remain as a studio project, the trio started playing live gigs locally and have shared the stage with Carach Angren, Wolfheart and Mors Principum Est. Clad in corpse paint with an elaborate and continuously evolving stage show, Oculum Dei has heavily invested into their extreme visionary madness.
The name of the band was inspired by the first song that was written by the band, ‘Blinded by the Gods’ and staying true to the genres of both black and death metal, it’s a haunting, aggressive band, in your face and extremely violent.
“We’d describe it as a dark, intense, chaotic hellcoaster through a fog-ridden forest straight into the fires of hell where you are left to battle yourself until life leaves your corpse and your spirit evaporates and leave you wanting more”
A team effort behind all the songwriting, Oculum Dei has been working on their first album for almost three years and now the dark demonic war chants of ‘Dreams of Desire and Torment’ are ready to be unleashed on February 22, 2019.
