German post-metal formation THE Ocean will release their new album "Holocene" in May 2023, as usual there is an instrunemtal album available as well. With Holocene, The Ocean add the new and final chapter in their paleontologically inspired album series. This time, the hardness of the collective is extended by some electronic dimensions. Founded at the beginning of the millennium, the group of musicians around guitarist Robin Stapps has not lost its intensity even after more than 20 years. The Ocean come together each time with a shared vision of boundless sonic exploration, never standing still, the band enjoys a stellar reputation in the genres of post-rock, progressive metal and even hardcore. Robin Staps commented on the final work in the Paleontological album series: "Holocene is an appendix to the 2 Phanerozoic albums and Precambrian, or the final and concluding chapter, making it a quadrilogy if you will. It deals with the Holocene, the most recent and shortest chapter in Earth's history, but essentially it's an album about fear, alienation, the loss of reason and critical thinking, the rise of conspiracy theories and the deconstruction of values in modernity." On the creation process and electronic basis of the new tracks, he adds: "The writing process of every album we've ever done started with me coming up with a guitar riff, a drum beat or a vocal idea. This album is different because every single song is based on a musical idea originally written by Peter (Voigtmann, synthesizer). He came up with these amazing synth parts that sounded great even in pre-production, and he sent me some of these raw, unfinished ideas in the middle of "Lockdown 2020"... and even though it was all electronic, it had this definite Ocean vibe to it. I immediately wanted to pick up my guitar.... And I did, and it wasn't long before we had an inspiring creative exchange that went in completely unforeseen but very exciting directions." For fans of Massive Attack, Lorn, Archive, Trentemöller, early Moderat, Portishead, Isis, Mastodon, Katatonia, The Pineapple Thief LP packaging: gatefold + metallic pantone inks + UV spot gloss + printed inner sleeve

2022 repress on solid black vinyL!2xLP vinyl. 9mm spine gatefold sleeve with gold hot foil & metallic inks. Printed inner sleeves.insert and engraving on Side D.W The ,centrics"-albums saw the introduction of current vocalist Loïc Rossetti to the band's lineup, a game changer in their 17 years history. ,Anthropocentric" is heavier than its same-year predecessor ,Heliocentric", with the crushing 15-minutes openening track duality ,The Grand Inquisitor" part I and II and following track ,She Was The Universe", one of the most-streamed THE OCEAN tracks to date, setting the bar high for the rest of the album. Conceptually, ,Heliocentric" and ,Anthropocentric" are a comprehensive critique of the legacy of christianity: While ,Heliocentric" approaches the topic in a historical-chronological way, the main focus of ,Anthropocentric" is the ,Grand Inquisitor"-chapter in Dostoyevsky's world-famous novel ,The Brothers Karamazov", spread out over 3 tracks of the album. Other songs like the serene ,The Almightiness Contradiction" take up ideas by Richard Dawkins, the spearhead of modern day's aetheism.Since 2001, the Berlin-based musician collective THE OCEAN have released 7 critically acclaimedstudio albums, and a split EP with Japanese post-rock legends Mono.

The Berliners Present An Unusual Live Album That Is A Testimony Of Strange Times: Their Phanerozoic Concept Album Performed Live In Its Entirety At A Time When No Shows Were Happening Anywhere In The World. 3 Lps / 2 Cds Plus Dvd And Access To Hd Video Download And Streaming.Phanerozoic I Was Streamed Live From Pier 2, A Big Hall In The Port Of Bremen, On March 25, 2021. Phanerozoic Ii, Recorded At "Die Mühle" Studio, Aired On April 16, 2021 As Part Of The Digital Edition Of Roadburn Festival, This Year Abtly Named Roadburn Redux.Both Shows Couldn't Have Been More Different: Where The First Part Boasts With A Pompous, Mesmerizing Lighting Production On A Big Stage, The 2nd Part Is Quite The Opposite: Intimate, Almost Cosy, Focused On Musicianship Rather Than Performance. A Stripped Down Setup In A Dark Barn, With Moody, Minimal But Not Any Less Efficient Lighting."We Wanted To Give People 2 Totally Different Experiences", Says Band Leader Robin Staps. "In Bremen, We Had The Chance To Record A Proper Ocean Live Show, The Way People Know Us. We Played Facing Towards The Front Of The Stage, To An Invisible Crowd, Essentially To A Huge Empty Room_ But We Knew People Were Watching, Even If We Didn't See Them. There Was The Same Rush Of Adrenaline Right Before Going On Stage As You Get Before Going On At Any Big Open Air Festival_ Maybe With A Little Extra Anxiety Added, Because Knowing That So Many People Are Watching You Without Being Able To See Them Yourself Was Super Weird."This Release Is Yet Another Master Class Of Record Packaging From Norwegian Artist And Long Term Friend And Collaborator, Martin Kvamme: The Trifold Is Made From Thick, Rough And Incredibly Fibrous Cardboard, Adorned With A Filigrane Copper Foil Embossing Of A Bitmapped Live Fotography From The Bremen Event. It Contains 3 Vinyl Records In Printed Inner Sleeves Or 2 Cds, Plus A Dvd And A Concert Ticket With A Streaming And Hd Video Download Link To Both Concerts.
