OCEANS OF SLUMBER Drummer Dobber Beverly "There are a lot of pitfalls with having a band"

OCEANS OF SLUMBER defy any and all conventions. For the past 15 years, the band have redefined the Southern Gothic by casting their tales of hope and despair against an ever-shifting backdrop of melodic death, doom and black metal, with subtle electronic flourishes and classical composition added for good measure.

A Style All Her Own: The Undefinable Cammie Gilbert

Prior to interviewing Gilbert, I put quite a bit of thought into how to approach the discussion of her physical presence. Despite the fact that her interest in metal is not rare, her physical presence is. North America is currently experiencing an intense level of social and political unrest, as race and gender divisions are more publicly prominent and the level of hostility both within the metal scene (Phil Anselmo) and outside, i.e. the ‘real’ world (Donald Trump), makes the presence of a black woman within this scene more contentious than ever. Because of this, should Gilbert’s position as one of the handful of black women to hold a prominent position within a heavy metal band even be mentioned in this piece?

It’s obvious that her ethnicity was not much of a thought when she joined an all white and male band. “A big part of what we do as musicians is in the tradition of service,” she explains. “We are here to be a catharsis and be an outlet for others, and to be available to show support for the things that people are going through. While I haven’t had any real direct kind of role model-esque experiences, there have been comments on our social media outlets that demonstrate that my ethnicity does matter. One was from a black girl who wrote that she identified with who I was, what I was into and what I was doing. And she wrote, ‘Thank you, because you are a now role model for me,’ which I obviously thought was cool. Because I am a singer and I happen to be black – if that’s something that resonates with people, than that is part of the service, too.

“When we went to the 2015 Prog Power USA Festival, there were two guys, one was South Asian and other was black. And the black guy came up and just quoted a number to me. I said, ‘What?’ and he responded, ‘We count every year how many black people and how many Indian people are here,’” she laughs. “Prog metal to me seems more diverse than other genres, and that is really cool, so for us, it’s a good fit in a lot of different ways.” [Read More]
