ABOUT "STILLBORN HOPE - VOL I":
"Stillborn Hope Vol I" is the first part of an ambitious new trilogy from Ozul, serving as a prequel to the acclaimed 2024 album, "Man on the Shore." It is a dark, cinematic, and sonically nuanced journey that tells the story of the protagonist's life before the final tragedy.
As an artistic choice, this first volume is a deliberate exploration of the project's more atmospheric and acoustic side. It is a record that unfolds with the patience of a film, building its emotional weight through texture and intimacy to set the stage for the heavier, more metal-influenced sound of the upcoming "Stillborn Hope Vol II."
The album is a complete, self-contained artistic statement, produced, mixed, and mastered by Paulo Chavarría. It is a testament to the project's singular, uncompromised artistic vision
