Oecist is an Instrumental/Post-Metal(ish) solo project of BJ Dierkes, also known for his work in The Ground and several unknown bands around Central East/Coast Florida including The Embrace of a Child and the great Elevator The Escalator. Pulling from a varied array of influences that range from late 90's Florida hardcore bands such as Shai Hulud, Dragbody, and Omega Man, to the more recent instrumental/post-metal acts in the vein of Cloudkicker, Pelican, and Sisters of... - Oecist makes no attempt to fit into the mold of any particular genre.

"Oecist really demonstrate various elements of the current instrumental sub-genres, mixing them all together resulting in a very eclectic post-whatever mix." ~ Sander van den Driesche @ Echos and Dust

"It has all the trimmings of technical finesse with interludes of guitar riffage and pummeling percussion that will send chills down your spine." ~ I.O. Kirkwood @ Metal Descent

"This is overall a great EP from someone who will hopefully evolve and change and bring more music out of himself. A fantastic piece of work." ~ David Bamford @ Rock N Reel Reviews
