An Opiate for Angels

About Me

..It was August of 2003 when four musicians and one abstract artist amalgamated together to form An Opiate For Angels. This wasnt to be a typical sound that would emerge from California, it was birthed to be different. Blending passionate songwriting with abstract interpretive art, AOFA has constantly been searching for new ways of delivering the sounds that inspire them. With daring yet hypnotic guitar work and aggressive tension-release melodic hooks, a sound is crafted that allows the listener to become fully enveloped in a sonic journey and then taken away. Although it is hard to ignore the spiritual experience of AOFA , it is not just present in the lyrics or music, but also in the art. Bringing back emotional performances with carefully crafted beats and breath taking bass vibrations, their frequencies have provided an under-current of dramatic sound for the unpredictable vocal transmission that occurs. The combined sound and art leaves the listener in a pensive trance and truly then becomes An Opiate for Angels.

Influences: GOD
Sounds Like: The faint hum of vibrational tremors when one places their ear to the ground in anticipation.Healing rushing waters finding its way through stubborn areas of hurt only to cleanse a wound and keep the soul from returning to the stagnant still pools of water infected with the disease of this age.The creaking of a tree alone in a meadow when everyone else around you denies that they want to be where you are listening to the leaves chatter throughout their branches spilling secrets of ages past.Unreserved emotion thrown violently at an empty canvas in hopes of creating an image one can relate to.The shuttering of bones when God walks into the room you are in.
Type of Label: None
