Germany’s premier post-metal act The Ocean has started work on a new album, to follow-up their latest release: 2015’s split EP with Japanese post-rock legends Mono, entitled Transcendental. In anticipation of the upcoming full-length record, The Ocean has launched a new live video for the track « Rhyacian« , which is taken from 2007’s Precambrian. Filmed at the Brick by Brick in San Diego, CA, the video can be viewed at:
Prior to Transcendental, The Ocean released their sixth full-length in 2013: Pelagial – which was hailed as the group’s « most ambitious record to date » (HeavyBlogIsHeavy.com). Over the course of the crushingly massive 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.com). Since the album and EP’s release, the group has toured the world in support of them, earning much praise for their mesmerizing live shows.
