Verfasst: 20 Okt 2013, 23:00
THE OCEAN have just released their latest album 'Pelagial' via Metal Blade, an abundance of positive press can be found below. They have just finished touring with Cult of Luna around Europe, taking in a number of sold out shows, and played Roadburn, Impetus, Asymmetry and their own Pelagial festival along the way. The Ocean are becoming widely regarded as leaders within their genre, a title long since deserved.

TIDES FROM NEBULA have been somewhat on the underground, touring DIY shows to an ever growing fanbase. In 2013 they take a step up, and will release their new album via a new label - SPV. They bring post-rock to this package, something we were keen to include due to this genre touching aspects of The Ocean's 'Pelagial'.

Press for 'Pelagial':
“Pelagial resonates so deeply because its sonic continuity is matched with shifting, unified composition. The album viscerally depicts the spectrum of submersion while highlighting the musicians’ versatility and cohesion. The band has never written more intriguing music, and The Ocean Collective has never been a more apt name.”
- MetalSucks (5/5)
“The sixth album from German post-metal doombringers The Ocean is huge… In the course of the record, tender piano interludes get stomped on by Mastodon-shaped footprints, lush strings work next to bulldozing double-kick work, and, at the end, the submarine crashes at Melvins tempos.”
- Spin
"Where the band was once steeped in sludgy noise/metalcore with orchestral interludes, they’ve become more luxurious, experimental and textural. Pelagial…further continues that shift, working on multi-tiered levels and drawing from DEP-inspired chaos, Opeth-like moods and Between The Buried And Me genre fiddling. It’s an album that strives to be all things at once without crossing into a 'look-at-me' mess."
- Decibel Magazine
"Via a constant diet of evolution and daring, The Ocean are catapulting metal into the future"
- Metal Hammer
"ambitious and adventurous"
- Terrorizer Magazine
"Melodrama, intimacy, grandeur, grace and big fucking riffs."
- Kerrang
"If there ever was a band that did things in halves, it’s not this lot. In fact, The Ocean, as a model of creative efficiency, have probably thrown their competitors’ lazy asses off the Alps before encasing them bruised and battered bodies in a 1940s- era bunker in deepest, darkest Berlin… a filmic ode to shifting moods, dichotomous influences and the musical personification of sinking towards the planet’s deepest underwater points."
- Rock Sound
"With Isis gone, no one has yet taken their place as intelligent and sensitive masters of post-metal but, with this [Pelagial], there's no doubt that The Ocean are shoe-ins for the title."
- Rock-A-Rolla Magazine
"Pelagial sees The Ocean in magisterial form, melding an uncanny sense of melody with crushing power and finely honed musicianship."
- Zero Tolerance Magazine
