If at least one of the names in Onera‘s rather formidable pedigree doesn’t stand out to you, take the sheer abundance of them as a sign that you might want to get introduced. For me, it’s vastly underappreciated doomers Morgion and likewise overlooked heavy rockers Cortez that did the trick. The New Hampshire-based newcomers comprised from former members of these outfits and more have just issued their first release in the form of a three-song melo-doomer title Olde that they seem to be hoping will get picked up either itself for label support or will lead to same for their next offering. Digging into the tracks, they’d seem just as much at home on Cruz del Sur as Candlelight. Kind of a lot of dark-vs.-light playing out within each song, all of it very metal, very doomed.

The PR wire offers the following:

ONERA: Doom Outfit Featuring Morgion, Keen Of The Crow, Cortez, December Wolves, And Watchmaker Alumni Releases EP

New Hampshire-based doom metal quintet ONERA proudly presents their debut EP, Olde, which has just been independently released by the band, and is now streaming in its entirety. Though the entity of ONERA is very new, the outfit unites a team of veterans from a wide array of revered acts including Morgion, Keen Of The Crow, Cortez, December Wolves, Watchmaker, and others who have been active in the scene for several decades.

In September 2015, the members of ONERA entered Amps vs Ohms in Cambridge, Massachusetts to capture their debut recordings. The members’ cumulative resumes and influences intertwine and carve out a unique sound for the band. Mastered at New Alliance East, the three-song Olde EP presents just under thirty minutes of glorious doom metal rapture, rife with heavy, melodic, dynamic, and progressive elements which help create an intense, organic, and primeval aura.

Olde Track Listing:
1. Unruhe
2. Stil As Stone
3. Cold Hand’s Caress

ONERA is promoting the release, shopping their music to labels, and continuing to put on impressive live performances throughout the Northeast.

ONERA Live:
7/30/2016 Koto – Salem, MA w/ HarborLights, Glacier, Stasis
