Oak
Oak from Norway contrasts the light and darkness, both musically and thematically, seamlessly blending folk-inspired acoustic passages with the raw intensity of progressive metal and weaving suggestive and poetic storytelling with sharp social commentary.
Echoing a rich musical foundation that spans classical piano, electronica, progressive and hard rock, Oak has carved out a distinctive sound—both captivating and challenging in equal measure. Playing the Night of the Prog Festival (twice) and supporting renowned acts like Marillion and Airbag the band has earned a strong following in the progressive rock scene, known for their intense live performances and evolving musical direction.
With ‘The Third Sleep’, OAK have returned with a dramatic,
exciting and rather imposing collection of songs that shows a
young band full of creativity and vitality. It is their best album yet
and one of the best things you will hear this year, sublime,
grandiose and, to put it simply, brilliant!”
Martin Hutchinson
“The Third Sleep is an enjoyable, profound and complex album
that draws you in by stealth, creeps under your skin and lingers
in your mind long after listening”.
