The Ocean - Jurassic | Cretaceous (feat. Jonas Renkse of Katatonia)

[@josemanuelrodrigueznavarro8289]

I'm actually a geologist and, when I heard 12 years ago about an album called Precambrian from a band allegedly called The Ocean Collective, I was almost forced to dig into it. And what a band it was! They grow in every album, and with Phanerozoic I & II they close a circle for me and I see myself, again, 12 years ago digging again in a geology-themed metal album. Days will be long since september 25th.

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Facts! I cannot wait for this to come out. Oh and check out Thecodontion then! They're a double bass, guitarless death metal band from Italy and their debut is called Supercontinent. Not sure how you are with death metal but you will dig the lyrics and themes they deal with!

[@pablogonzalezpinero9073]

Supongo que por tu nombre eres español (o al menos hispanoablante). No sé si te gusta el black/death, pero si eres geólogo te invito a que eches un vistazo a Thecodontion (www.metal-archives.com/albums/Thecodontion/Supercontinent/844471). Sacaron hace unos días su primer disco (Supercontinent) y las letras parecen manuales de geología (exagerando un poco jajaja). Seguro que te llama la atención, échale un vistazo a las letras en este enlace (en youtube está el disco completo disponible). Pd: The Ocean son geniales, aunque sus álbumes conceptuales sobre aspectos de la naturaleza, realmente son "simbólicos" y las letras están más vinculadas a cuestiones psicológicas/políticas/filosóficas que ellos relacionan con la historia de la Tierra, los niveles de profundidad la columna de agua marina, el heliocentrismo, etc.

I discovered The Ocean in 2019, pretty much by chance. I was channel-surfing through rock channels on Music Choice when I stumbled upon the Metal channel, where "Permian: The Great Dying" was playing. Since I’m a bit of a science nerd, the title naturally caught my attention, and within days I was obsessed with Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic. And now Phanerozoic II is on the horizon. Words cannot describe how excited I am right now.

quietriot Even if Tool doesn’t have the sonic diversity that some prog bands have, the wealth and density of their songs far outshines almost everyone in the genre. They have their sound, and they’re out to perfect that sound, rather than trying to create a wide range of sonic diversity. Two completely different approaches to the genre, and I’m not discounting either.
