Couldn’t be happier to bring you the news that Ogives Big Band have joined the Stolen Body family. Watch the live video for “Brandishment” through the YouTube player below:
Ogives Big Band is a riff powerhouse hailing from Bristol, UK. Initially forming as an instrumental trio with a view to expand the existing Øgïvęš solo material.
The addition of an established and furious rhythm section warped the compositions and song writing process into a new beast entirely. Featuring polyrhythmic soundscapes crashing into brutal breakdowns, blistering riffs melting into luscious ethereal drones, & an all encompassing sense of drive & menace.
2020 saw the addition of a new vocalist which has transformed a previously instrumental setup into a much fiercer prospect. Replete with furiously yelled vocals, serene croons & abstract lyricism and wordplay.
2023 will see the quartet appear at Portals and ArcTanGent festivals as well as tours in support of their new album, set to be released late 2023/early 2024. The new album – entitled “Boisterous Love” will showcase a move into whole new musical territories of savage, angular, Doom laden Sludge, Progressive Metal and Psychedelic Stoner Rock.
The bans states on their Facebook page:
“We’re absolutely fuckin’ stoked to be able to say that we’re now part of the Stolen Body Records family. It’s an absolutely amazing label that releases tons of incredible music, and we’re super excited to be a part of their roster.
More very cool stuff is happening very soon – keep your eyes pealed for some of our brand new music emerging into the world tomorrow, oh yes!“
