Editorial Reviews

Oh Sleeper's new album Son of the Morning, An empowering call-to-arms descends upon the weak-minded, the undecided, the superficially concerned with the arrival of Son Of The Morning, the new album from OH, SLEEPER. On the followup to their When I Am God debut, these Texan lads obliterate any notions of the "sophomore slump" with an alarming urgency sure to excite anyone with even a cursory interest in bands like Underoath, Slipknot or Dillinger Escape Plan. Oh, Sleeper has crafted a concept album detailing the final battle between the devil (with Micah Kinard screaming in character on the title track) and God (with Kinard answering on "The Finisher," which closes the record) from start to finish. Produced by Andreas Magnusson (Black Dahlia Murder), Oh, Sleeper's Son Of The Morning is poised to turn 2009 upside down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2010

I admit I never was a Metalcore fan, but then I started to listen to Dead Poetic (I know their not Metalcore), and once I got used to their screaming style, it opened the door to various other bands within and around the Christian Metalcore genre. I haven't gone to deep into it however, after a certain point it begins to sound to similar.

Not to long ago I picked up Haste the Day's "Attack of the Wolf King" and I couldn't stop playing it. It really was a great album, so I had to have more. Tipped off by the Solid State/Tooth and Nail sampler I decided to check out some of the bands on it. For the most part I didn't dig the softer stuff, but the heavy "Son of the Morning" song by "Oh, Sleeper" was one I did like. So I checked out the album and got it and was blown away. Heavy, energetic and powerful Biblical messages about the battle between Satan and God(perfect for playing when punching the punching bag). My favorite songs so far are probably "Reveries of Flight", "In All Honesty", "The Fire Drawn" and "Breathing Blood." But really there's no song on here that's not good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh Sleeper at their Best!

Chances are, if you're even looking at this album, let alone this review, you should buy it. The album is that good. If you like Metalcore music, it's hard to get better than this. The fact that their a Christian band and there are some excellent themes on this CD doesn't hurt one bit either. The whole band shines on this album. If you're reading this review because you've never heard Oh Sleeper, this is the album you want to buy, if you're just wondering whether you should buy it or not, it's a must own. 5 out of 5!

YESSSS!!!!! Where have you been all my life, Oh, Sleeper?!?!? I found these guys at an Emery concert in Chattanooga, TN and they absolutely blew my mind! (Emery, you always have been and always will be first in my heart) BUT OMG!!!! EXCELLENT screaming voice, EXCELLENT drumming, EXCELLENT creative, stunning, imaginative, gripping lyrics. This has renewed my passion for Christian metal, knowing that there REALLY ARE people out there that aren't afraid to say it like it is!

I'LL CUT OFF YOUR HORNS!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good, a nice surprise
Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015
Call this a 3.5, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because I was really surprised and impressed when I first heard this album. It doesn't measure up to the follow up, Children of Fire, but the album is still quite good in its own right. Oh Sleeper boasts a very aggressive sound, with lots of energy. Kind of a raw band, they really bring it with the kind of effort you can appreciate from your favorite sports teams. Lead harsh vocalist Micah Kinard is particularly aggressive, and his screeches will excite and chill you.

The album is a bit of a concept album where it portrays the war between God and Satan, and almost like a rap record, Oh Sleeper writes some hard hitting lines for God. Its really impressive for a metal album. If you dig Christian (or any) metalcore, pick this up.

I love every single song off of this album! My fav by Oh, Sleeper. They're extremely talented and Micah's writing is just amazing. Love their newer album "Children of Fire" as well. All their stuff's great. This one's my personal favorite. <3

I think this CD shows a growth in the band as a whole and shows them getting even better musically. I can't wait for a new CD from them. Highly recommended to those who like a hard alternative sound.

Wenn man Haste the Day, I the Breather, The Chariot, Norma Jean, Inhale Exhale oder Mychildren Mybride mag ist dieser Musikgruppe aufkeinenfall zu verpassen, Wenn man OS noch nicht kennt ist dieser Album das Perfekte Ansatzpunkt denn dieses Album zeigt einen genau was die Jungs in Oh Sleeper drauf haben.

5.0 out of 5 stars 個人的には好きです！

名前のセンスと反して音がかっこいいです！！！！
クリスチャンバンドのレーベル、solidstateから、メンバーチェンジ無しで2ndフルの今作。

前作よりも楽器隊の音は固すぎず、良いくらいの太さとキレですね。
個人的に前はメタリックな音で、カッチカチで数を聴くと疲れたので、嬉しい変化です。
ヴォーカルの勢いもあって、前作よりもコーラスが多いし、曲も全体的にまとまっていてさらっと聴けて、気がついたら2週目な感じです。

3曲目にはas　cities　burnのcobyも参加でめちゃくちゃいいです！！！

こういったバンドが出てはすぐ解散したりメンバーが入れ替わり立ち換わりだったり、2枚目になると浅くなるのにこのバンドは確実に成長されたと感じました！！！

ジャケットも、invisible　creatureがやっててイカします！！！！
買うならデータじゃなくてcdを。
悩むなら買い！！！！ですね！！！！！！

スクリーモバンドによる２ｎｄ。クリーン２：スクリーム８の割合で構成されており、なかなかアグレッシブなスクリームパートはキマッていて、叙情的なクリーンパートも良い。Ｇリフは比較的へヴィで鋭いが、その他大勢のバンドから抜きんでるほどの魅力はまだ備わっておらず、溢れ返っているこの手のバンドはそれぞれ個性を出そうとしているのでこのバンドも頑張ってほしい"
