Scott Mosher’s musical brainchild, Oceans Of Night, just released its newest 12-track Mindstorm, another An aural odyssey that transports listeners to vast, sweeping sonic landscapes, painting vivid imagery with thunderous progressive metal grooves and grandiose atmospheric textures. 

Mosher is at his best when he’s weaving together metal intensity with airy and orchestral backdrops; something I’ve haven’t seen many musicians do. He’s collaborated with four vocalists, a keyboard artist and tied it all together with production authority Eric Stolz. This is Scott’s 8th full album. 

Mindstorm starts off with Servants of Shadow/New Dawn, shifting seamlessly between savage progressive metal riffing and Wagnerian clouds of ambience. The entire listening experience is ripe with melodic guitar solos slicing through the sonic maelstrom like razors, conjuring searing emotional vistas at every turn. 

Mindstorm is another crowning achievement for this visionary architect. It truly transports you to operatic, larger-than-life planes of sonic mythos – proving that after 28 years, Scott Mosher’s cinematic vision remains astonishingly vivid and his musical evolution continually encapsulates everything he does best.
