Texas-based progressive metalcore outfit, FERVENCE, are pleased to present a video for "Oculum." The track appears on their stunning new full-length, Constructs, out now on Metal Blade Records.
Comments founding guitarist Trent Odneal, "This song draws a lot of inspiration from the grittiness in Deftones' self-titled album. I really tried to make it feel dark, abrasive, human if you will, while maintaining a cinematic undertone, without overdoing it."

Inspired by bands like Deftones, Architects, and Silent Planet, the FERVENCE sound is an ethereal blend of harsh and lush, navigating between moments of sheer aggression and poignant vulnerability. Formed in 2019 in Reno, Nevada as Odneal's solo project, FERVENCE released its debut full-length, Ghost, in 2020. The recording was called an "emotionally laden and hard-hitting record that contemplates what it is to be human."
The band reemerged in 2023 with vocalist Stevie B. at the helm, bringing her unique brand of aggression to the project. FERVENCE toured the West Coast, continuing to build their local following in Reno opening for the likes of Otep, Left To Suffer, and Gideon, and releasing four singles that would make up their second offering, an EP titled Realm//One which was praised for "breaking so many rules in metal."
On Constructs, the quintet's Metal Blade debut, FERVENCE delivers eleven dynamic songs that explore, both musically and lyrically, deeply personal experiences surrounding life, death, emotion, and relationships. Now based in Austin, Texas, the band spent 2025 crafting their most fully realized songs to date. Writing post-Ghost, Odneal made a conscious effort to leave more space for the vocals to explore melodies and focused on composition, mood, song structure, and building up to big choruses.
