OVUM define their sound as "metal-oriented instrumental rock."
They released their sophomore album, "ascension," in 2013. It was at once a culmination of the band's musical experiences over the years since they first started, and the end of their motivation to write the kind of music they had been releasing up until that point.
Following this, the members began experimenting with different styles to try to better convey the new direction they were heading in. In September 2014, while on tour in Europe, they finally found the inspiration they were looking for to adopt a heavier, more aggressive approach.
After returning to Japan, OVUM immediately began working on what would become their first release since. Titled “Nostalgia,” it will be out on March 3, 2016.
