The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous (Live in Europe)

"Phanerozoic II is more experimental, more eclectic in musical style and direction, and more varied in terms of tempos, beats, guitar work and the use of electronics," notes Staps. "This was an intentional choice: we wanted Part I to feel rather streamlined and to have a strong cohesion between the individual songs. We wanted to create a certain vibe to linger from the first until the last note throughout the whole record. We kept the weirder, more daring and more progressive material for Part II. The outcome is a record that is a real journey. It starts in one place, and concludes in a totally different place. In a way, it relates to Pelagial, which was similar in that it was also a journey: but a more guided, focused and predictable one. Phanerozoic II on the other hand is closer to the experience of free fall."
Divided into two sections - Mesozoic and Cenozoic - Phanerozoic II once again showcases the detail and depth that have become two of The Ocean's most enduring trademarks. While ostensibly delving into the extraordinary realities of the Earth's shifting temporal tides, Staps and his comrades have long drawn hazy parallels between their chosen subjects and the emotional experiences that their music strives to convey. Phanerozoic II is essentially an album about time, with some very poignant and pointed allusions to the modern world woven into the new music's spiritual fabric.

Never thought Dinosaur Angst Metal would be a thing but it's fucking awesome.

[@SilverFurniture23]

🤣🤣

[@splatcat4661]

hell yeah!

[@kvltgirl]

One of my favorite metal bands PERIOD! Saw them here in the states when they were on Summer Slaughter after Pelagial had come out. One of the best live bands I've ever seen

[@HeathenHammer123]

the base that kicks though your chest on this song when you see it live...... HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!! wicked awesome.

[@SauceBoss69]

One of their best songs!

[@GooDeee22]

...ever? )

[@scottvangilder8297]

Porcupine Tree and Gojira had a baby.

[@jwless5]

Nope!

[@andrewanderson1755]

Nah. Much love to PT but the Ocean crushes both of those bands.

[@EduardoGarcia-sf6iy]

😂❤

[@edenhighlands3851]

Criminally underrated!

[@jennifer9047]

Oh, FUUUUUCK. 😳 12:35 goes HARD!!!!🤘🔥🔥🤘 I think i just had three seizures and an orgasm. 😂 Saw these guys open for Leprous a couple years ago and they were great, but I wish I'd been at THIS SHOW!!! Bravo❤

[@notsure1969]

I hope The Ocean has a show in the US before too long. I would go to that show in a heartbeat.

[@andrewanderson1755]

Hope you caught their spring tour! It was awesome. They did the same set most nights and closed with this one

[@greendragon4058]

Never heard of these guys but you know what I will be looking up this band's music❤❤

[@JLR77]

My absolute favorite band! Saw them twice in the states recently and they rocked both times!

[@jakeorel3406]

Incredible. Do we deserve such a performance?

[@MichaelWright-xd6zt]

Saw them in Melbourne recently.. what a show! Fucking love this band!

[@chrisjdgrady]

His voice is so damn good live

[@RandyVampiro]

Absolutely Amazing Performance Gentlemen! All Hail!

[@MissyMuthaTruckiN]

Nice 🤘someone had recommended these guys to me a few years ago when I asked for Metal similar to Mastodon's Levithian, was not disappointed 🌊❣🌊

[@samgquinlan]

Such a hilarious glitch at the end, when Loic is suddenly standing in the middle of the crowd in a Karnivool shirt 🤣 Anyway, fucking incredible 🙏

[@andrewanderson1755]

Absolutely unfuckwithable

[@fabian36011]

Los conocí gracias a rock al parque 2023 en Bogotá - Colombia. Escuché un par de canciones y vi unos vídeos antes de ir a ver su presentación y definitivamente son una banda genial, su energía, su puesta en escena, todo de ellos es mejor de lo que uno se llega a esperar. Ahora hacen parte de mis bandas favoritas de metal

[@dirudiru96]

One of my favourite bands of all time, and now we finally managed to see you live for the first time. Saw you at Vera, Groningen. Absolutely amazing show at an intimate venue.

[@kenedacarni7388]

Grand moment pour moi sur le concert a Montpellier 😌🤘 rencontre avec le batteur bonne discussion et dédicace de mes baguette perso ^^ en prime jm retrouve sur la vidéo 🎉 Surtt que 2 moi après je me faisais amputé pour la première fois d'une série qui s'enchaînera, ne pouvant jouer de la batterie encore actuellement 😢 C'était un vrai régal en tt cas merci les gars !!!! Surtt en tant que batteur je kiff ce que fait le batteur, et tous d'ailleurs dans le groupe son excellent et accessible, je vous recommande chaudement en live ! 😌🤘

[@skeptikalspektator7016]

Quelle chanson incroyable ! En écoutant l'album, je pensais qu'il s'agissait de deux pistes différentes. C'est comme si Isis, Neurosis, Tool et Gojira avaient fusionné. Pourtant cette musique a sa propre identité. En boucle.

[@gfcapitani]

Uma mistura de nine inch nails e Tool.❤

[@jacktaylor4241]

i want to see them live so bad now. hoping they come to TX!

[@itlivesin]

Just saw them live😱

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

🤘🦖🤘

[@paololuvara7955]

See you on the 16th 🤩🤩🤩

[@architectsofaeon]

Epic

[@mrhat1073]

This was incredible to see live (not this performance). David, the lead singer, damn well knows how to put on an amazing performance.

[@andrewanderson1755]

David? Do you mean Loïc?

[@faustianecho]

Please come back to Singapore!!!

[@pong86r]

God i love it; that sounded so cool! what a great fuckin band!

[@deathdrummer1000]

[@yuruem2thereturn44]

YIPPEE

[@СергейМизин-х4ц]

класс

[@EduardoGarcia-sf6iy]

🔥🔥🔥🦖🦕🪬

[@costantinoandruzzi2219]

Any live DVD coming our way anytime soon?!

[@Slv4S8n666]

This ain't live, it sounds too crisp

[@metalbladerecords]

That's high praise for Loic's mix!

[@robertbrooks9805]

Uh, when you hook it to record live, yes, it is

[@robertbrooks9805]

You can record live without the crowd noise.

[@Slv4S8n666]

The video is live but the sound is pre recorded my guy

[@Slv4S8n666]

I would even say it sounds better than the original based on sound quality.
