Swedish prog doomsters Ockra release their highly anticipated debut full-length. »Gratitude« follows Ockra’s EP »Infinite Patterns« (2020) and sees the band improving their sound in an exciting way, with unexpected and astonishing elements coming from singer-songwriting and Nordic folk traditions.

The band Ockra arose in early 2018 in Gothenburg, Sweden from what was left of the stoner doom band Sulphur Dreams. With a strong desire to stretch musical barriers away from what is known as classic stoner or doom metal, the trio around Jonas Nyström, Erik Björnlinger and Alex Spielhaupter set out to develop their songwriting skills and find their own style under the new name Ockra. The band has a wide range of influences from metal to folk, Americana and jazz.

»Gratitude« is released by Argonauta Records on CD and digital editions and available from May 26th, 2023.
