News : Okera release debut demo for free download

By on January 11, 2010

Melbourne based melodic death/doom metal band Okera have uploaded a demo recording for free download via their Myspace page. It featured three tracks and clocks in at 27 minutes. Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/okerametal

Track listing:
1. The Black Rain
2. Futility
3. Like Jewels In The Sky

“Okera (oh-care-ah), initially conceived as a studio side-project founded by Jayme, began to take shape in the later months of 2006, as a creative outlet in the genre of melodic death / doom metal. But as time passed by, the project became more serious, leading to the gathering of additional members, with the goal of eventually performing live and recording. Okera now has four permanent members, and the music we create is rooted in progressive rock and death metal, with melancholic overtones; and dark, subtle nuances.”

Okera were also part of an awesome show alongside Be’lakor, Arbrynth and Rainshadow in Melbourne last weekend. We’ve got photos of the Metal Obsession sponsored event up in the gallery.
