California post-metal outfit O ZORN! presents their video for âFeatures.â Now playing at New Noise Magazine, the track comes by way of the bandâs acclaimed Vermillion Haze full-length, released last month via Hard Drugs/Seeing Red Records.
Based in Long Beach, O ZORN! is led by enigmatic frontman Bill Kielty, a charismatic and confident performer that sits somewhere between Rob Zombie and James Hetfield in his delivery and is completed by the exceptional guitar talents of Justin Suitor, the rolling thunder of bassist Justin Morales, and powerhouse drummer Derek Eglit. Together, the O ZORN! collective creates the unmistakable, thumping groove that has begun to capture the hearts and minds of metal fans throughout the scene since the band formed in 2013.
Comments Kielty on âFeatures,â âThis song is about the importance of self-confidence and trusting oneself. If youâre constantly doubting yourself and your abilities, youâll always be in somewhat of a state of confusion. For myself, said confusion has contributed to a lifetime of procrastination. This can put a lot of strain on relationships, business dealings, and other areas of life where progress is hindered due to your inability to see things through in a timely manner, or at all. Procrastination is opportunity’s natural assassin.â

The eight-track Vermillion Haze was overseen by producer Ryan Boesch (Whores, Andrew WK, Tomahawk, The Eels), and showcases a more melodic vocal approach from Kielty, with an extra emphasis on memorable choruses that compliment some of the recordâs heavy themes.

âA testament to the bandâs evolution, Vermillion Haze offers a heavy yet melodic exploration of lifeâs darker shades. It reminds us that amidst hardship, thereâs hope, and through its music, O ZORN! shines a light on the authentic lived experience of Los Angeles, far from its shimmering facade.â â Decibel Magazine
âO ZORN! is here to show you how to write a slow-burning track thatâs heavy but will also get real stuck in your head.â â Metal Injection on âSlow Moodâ
“O ZORN! have unleashed the kind of grooved-out, post-grunge/post-metal that bands have been trying to capture for decades with âSlow Mood,â a straightforward, depressive rock banger that demands to be played loud for best results.” — Everything Is Noise on âSlow Moodâ
âNot that being one of the only bands making waves in Long Beach playing sludge metal isnât enough, but O ZORN! also has the benefit of balancing the genreâs melodicism and dissonance. Where a band like Baroness might lean toward the former and Thou toward the latter, O ZORN! has found a way to let the riffs guide them beyond such limitations. Hooky, heavy, and grimy, Vermilion Haze finds O ZORN! more than earning their keep as one of Southern Californiaâs most exciting bands within the sludge, doom, or heavy rock umbrellas.â â MetalSucks
ââ¦a bleak, harsh and hard-hitting album⦠one of the most refreshing and honest albums Iâve heard in some time. O ZORN! have released an album that will see them appear on quite a few Album Of The Year contender lists before the year is outâ¦A simply unmissable release that every fan of the doom/sludge/stoner metal underground scene needs to check out now.” â Outlaws Of The Sun
“O ZORN! has once again released an impressive collection of doom rock songs. Theyâve continuously developed their sound, creating rich melodies soaked in feelings of desperation and agony. Combining the ambience of doom metal, the slow groove of stoner rock, and an underlying, catchy energy reminiscent of â90s grunge, O ZORN! provide an emotionally resonant and aurally entertaining musical approach that undoubtedly deserves more attention. – Metal Storm
“…intelligent, well-crafted and sit astride the post-metal / gaze genres. Itâs heavy when it needs to be, but never forgets to bring the riffs.” – Metal Epidemic
