[@scytqle12345]

The Ocean Collective is truly one of the major metal band of our time, hope they will get the recognition they deserve... they are a bit what Aphex Twin has been for electro.... Going relentlessly through each emotional/style process/steps of metal music without any considerations for maintream influences. Hope to see them one day as recognised as Tool!

[@dante666jt]

The Ocean Collective is a trip for sure.

[@kindoffblinking6105]

100% agreed, definitely

[@AnTaReS-g3h]

Pide perdón por favor.

[@FracturedEclipse]

The Ocean really knows how to make the fields of geology and paleontology engaging and intense. But that's what I love about the band and especially the Phanerozoic albums.

[@vesuvius115]

Don't forget Precambrian, Precambrian was the start of this Geologic journey.

[@KMakrozahopoulos]

Fellow man Your whole life, like a sandglass Will always be reversed And will ever run out again A long minute will elapse We'll always be reversed Until all those conditions Out of which you were evolved Return in the wheel Of the cosmic process We'll always be reversed And then you will find every pain and pleasure Every friend and every enemy Every hope and every goddamn error Every blade of grass and every ray of light Once more And the whole fabric of things Which make up your life Will always be reversed This ring in which you are but a grain Will glitter afresh forever We'll always be reversed And in every one of these cycles There will be one hour where For the first time one man And then many Will perceive the mighty thought Of the eternal recurrence of all things And for mankind This is always the hour of noon And then you will find every pain and pleasure Every friend and every long-lost lover Every hope and every goddamn error Every blade of grass and every ray of light All over again Start over again

[@mr-mo8uq]

You missed an "will always be reversed."

[@MrAtrandom]

That dark ass piano solo at 6:04 is fucking beautiful. The transition into the final break down is just absolutely amazing. This album is soooooo epic.

[@lockheed6859]

It alongside The Cambrian Explosion 1 is actually a reprise of the final track on Precambrian

[@CyclingTrivialities]

@@lockheed6859 i did not know this, wow

[@sacredxgeometry]

This might be the best track this band has done to date....holy shit. This song proves how important bass is in a mix if you want something to sound even heavier.

[@RicardoJBRodrigues]

It also proves that Jens Bogren is the best mixing engineer in the game for the genre.

[@lingvemulo]

I wholeheartedly agree with both of you. Wise words.

[@lingvemulo]

Maybe this album will get Opeth to return to Jens.

[@palibakufun]

Was always a huge fan of the rereleased Fluxion because of that reason. Comfort Zones is still mind blowingly heavy.

[@robmills9636]

The bass tone on this whole album absolutely slays. I'm not sure I've ever heard bass on a metal record come across as heavy as it does on this one. A+ production/mixing work on that.

[@AcidxAnarchy]

Still one of my favorite songs ever. I keep coming back to this.....

[@DerBomster]

Same with me. The whole album is brilliant, but I'm constantly tempted to listen to Cambrian Explosion and Cambrian II on repeat...

[@AcidxAnarchy]

@@DerBomster this song had me wondering the other morning, if the reason we all have deja vu, is because we are just remembering all the other times, we lived and died. Not that deja vu is us in different dimensions crossing paths, but that we all have actually died and started over countless times

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

The Ocean is over here "quietly" talking about some of the most real phenomena of the world that so few people ever think about. It's not just that they are so human, they are so terrestrial. Like literally and metaphorically down to Earth in a way that everyone should be.

[@andrewcarpenter3991]

I love this band. Extreme metal in Ocean form is so dam intelligent, every album is a lesson in geology, paleontology, anthropology and so many other scientific disiplines. Very great cerebral stuff, this music wakes the brain.

[@loboespacial2780]

I love the atmosphere they create, similar to Cult of Luna's. Amazing.

[@anthonyhiguero8921]

My three-year-old stepdaughter watched this video with me on our TV and keeps asking me to put the video with the “rock person” back on. She says she loves the rock person. Talk about starting off on the right foot. 😂

[@dwellerinblack7816]

Lol nice work, man.

[@82christos]

This is SHOCKINGLY good. I've never seen such captivating visuals in a music video.

[@ValhallaRaven]

Nothing shocking about it. This band is consistently awesome

[@flaviolepri5539]

[@keschgelb]

Will buy this CD immediately! The Ocean represents exactly my favourite style of metal. Outstanding!

[@nicolasabdelkarim4052]

absolutely amazing! recently discovered The Ocean, blown away. Creative, heavy, emotional and intellectual music.

[@binn3370]

Thank you Metal Blade records for the recommendation.

[@BanteringRam]

Three songs released from "Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic" so far and it just keeps getting better and better! This may just be the best album from The Ocean thus far and that IS saying a lot!

[@TheFowo]

Bantering Ram ikr, I honestly didn't expect this album to sound so well after they made 2 top notch albums in their own style and rights (Precambrian and Pelagial, ofc)

[@SaoGage]

This riff just sticks to me like glue. I listen to this song once and it's in my head all day. That and it's impossible not to settle into a nice, slow nodding headbang along with it. Insanely good song, one of their best IMO.

[@orion_5128]

The idea of eternal recurrence is so fascinating to me.. This song gives me intense chills, especially that outro with Loïc singing "all over again/start over again" between lines. Wow. The Ocean is one of my favorite bands right now, they're so good

[@tiuhti__]

The Ocean is the most unique metal act there is. Absolute #1 favourite band! Just such captivating and heavy yet beautiful music. I'm sure at first people would mistake this for generic death metal with these scream-y vocals but to anyone seeing this comment after just finding this band, I assure you this band makes the most beautiful music I've ever heard!

[@Akhin]

I don't know about unique, I mean it's a nice track but borrows HEAVILY from cult of luna

[@Bones12x2]

This + Rivers of Nihil + BTBAM + Obscura albums this year FIIIIYYYAA!!!

[@Will85sc]

hakens new cd...

[@Draclord35]

Don't forget Alkaloid, Horrendous and Slugdge. Obscura was very disapointing to say the least.

[@SchafiNat0r]

Also Ascariasis, Revocation, Gorod... lots of great releases this year :)

[@pablotrujillofierro4435]

2018 will be a memorable year for metal. It sets a point of evolution

[@Prolific_Troll]

How the fucking fuck did I not know there was a prog metal band that made an album based on the prehistory of the Paleozoic era?!

[@QuellTheHeretic]

I'm so glad I clicked on this... Honestly never heard of this band before and I absolutely love it already! Can anyone suggest some songs from them for a newbie???

[@efrengonzalez4740]

rhyacian,firmament, origin of species/god,bathyalpelagic

[@joshfox7239]

These guys are a full album kinda band really, I'd say start with anything off of Pelagial for material which is the most similar to this. Their old albums rule too but they are all pretty varied and have many other vocalists.

[@QuellTheHeretic]

Thanks brother! I'll check those out!

[@beanbagman0039]

The Great Dying

[@Calebm90]

Pelagial in its entirety first, I think. It's pretty accessible but also fucking slays

[@daveparer10]

[@aldairmarquez4583]

I needed a dark vibe like this but not too dark.... you know. Are there some similar bands yall recommend to me? They remind me the style of Paradise Lost in these last songs.

[@fentown2]

You could give Rosetta a shot if you haven't heard them. They're touring with the ocean now in Europe.

[@InfinityPotato97]

That Cryogenian melody on beginning!

[@jamjox9922]

That's some back in the day shit! They don't make metal like that anymore!

[@rabidsquirrel912]

Robin did say that this album is the missing link, musically, between Precambrian and Heliocentric, plus this the first song on the album. :)

[@demorez5]

@@rabidsquirrel912 sounds like bullshit to me. Heliocentric is clearly focused on humanity, while Paleozoic ends like 300 million years before that. And there still the second part of the Phanerozoic album to be released. So there is still a few million years to cover in earth's history until we reach humanity's appearance. saying this is the missing link between Precambrian and Heliocentric is like saying The Second World War was the missing link between the Roman Empire and Trump's presidency.

[@maxwell71596]

The melody on the beginning is actually the ending of the song before Cambrian II. Which is called... *The Cambrian Explosion*

[@isosubject5169]

Someone can explain me the concept of the ocean discography pls

[@MachineHeadDissent]

Killer visuals!!!....🤙🤘🤙🤘

[@ObiWanXCanBlowme]

The more I listen, the more i hear. The timing of the screams with the transitions of the music, the breakdowns and melodies. This song is a fxcking masterpiece.

[@matthewginn1739]

Haunting masterpiece!

[@Luemm3l]

as someone said: probably musically the most brutal and thought out history/geology lessons ever (by that I mean the entire discography, not just this song from the Ocean by the way)

[@vesuvius115]

I literally took like 3-4 hours of my day listening to Precambrian all the way way Phan 2 just to listen to this story in all its glory. I did not regret it.

[@philbobaggins336]

Just when you think no one puts out good music anymore this pops up and blows your brains out . Get a creepy vibe at times ... Songs killer .

[@Draclord35]

I still think that the last Alkaloid will be my AOTY, but this one should easily enter the top 5. Precambrian used to be my #3 album of 2007 behind Rotting Christ and Primordial. I'm sure Phanerozoic I can do the same 11 years later.

Hell yeah. This here is going to be another example of mastery of song dynamics, integrated over an album.

And does this mean Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic and Phanerozoic III: Cenozoic are planned after this album?
