From Metal Blade's press release:
THE OCEAN is a phenomenal, very unique band that features
influences from various styles of hard and also more mellow
music. They are famous for their hardcore eruptions as well as
their flowing soundscapes that are somewhat reminiscent of
American pioneers Neurosis. But in the end they are simply THE
OCEAN, a band that is well known in the German underground, not
only for their albums, but also for their excessive live shows.
“It´s great to have THE OCEAN on the label”, comments Andreas R.
of Metal Blade Europe. “This band is so talented – they
transport a wide array of emotions through their incredible
music. You can´t be more honest as an artist than THE OCEAN
are.”
Comments THE OCEAN guitarist Robin Staps: "After talking to
various labels over the course of the past months, we're happy
to finally join forces with one of the most important labels for
heavy music out there. Out of all the parties we've been talking
to, Metal Blade seemed to be the most reasonable about what they
can do for us and how they will go about doing it."
After more than a year in the making, their upcoming record
"Aeolian", a sequel to 2004's highly acclaimed "Fluxion", is in
its final stages of production.
“All the instrumental and vocal tracks have been layed down and
we are almost finished with the mix. We have taken a
multiple-singer approach this time, with the aim of finding the
perfect voice for every part. The result is a number of guest
appearances, including Tomas Hallbom of BREACH, Nate Newton of
CONVERGE / OLD MAN GLOOM and Sean Ingram of COALESCE. Altogether
there are 6 singers featured on the album, covering the widest
possible range of aggressive vocals, from deep howls to
high-pitched shrieking, with our mainman Meta at the low end and
laptopist Nico at the high end of the vocal spectrum.” |
