THE OCEAN - Subatlantic - Official Video

[@pablotournelle]

I'm almost 38. I'm not so old, but at this stage of life you have developed strong musical foundations that are difficult to break. It's quite hard to find something that redefines, surprise and revamp your musical ways. The Ocean Collective achieves that. The perfect balance between a heavy sound that makes you want to mosh everywhere as well as you are healing inside. I really love the work of this guys.

[@DielanByah]

very well put

[@Thirdfish]

Go see them live, they'll melt your face off - in a good way.

[@pablotournelle]

@@ThirdfishI have seen them 3 times (2016 Santiago and 2022 Santiago and Punta Arenas) in Chile 🙂

[@alkalivegeta]

Almost 38 too. hehehe 😁 I agree with all you said. They keep progressing and balancing quite well all their influences, past and present. And I'll throw one more thing that's quite interesting. With their albums you, imo, learn something new, like different world views and beliefs, the layers of the ocean, the geological eras of our planet, etc. Learning this stuff has never been this good. 😄

[@Thirdfish]

@@pablotournelle That's great Pablo, amazing live band, I saw them last year with LLNN and Playgrounded (check those out) and recently I saw them supporting Karnivool, I met them afterwards too.

SUBATLANTIC LYRICS: „The spectacle is the sun that never sets over the empire of modern passivity. It covers the entire surface of the globe, endlessly basking in its own glory“ take heed it’s getting warm pay heed to the alarm take heed you’ll be disarmed pay heed time has come hey mate, this ain’t going away death before surrender wipe your slate clean take heed it’s getting warm pay heed to the alarm take heed you’ll be disarmed pay heed time has come hey mate, this ain’t going away listen to the wise old men listen to what they’ve said from the beginning over and over again don‘t act as if you were unaware of what lies ahead squeeze the last drop, lick it up grow a better crop, use it up we‘ve had time to develop the plot and to plan our new home a new colony prepare for departure cities of sand under glass this is our new civilisation and the sun always shines bright

It‘s crazy to think that Robin nearly drowned at this beach directly after filming the video. I am just happy he was rescued and can keep producing music that touches my every fibre. All the best to these guys! I like the new direction they are headed to.

[@andrewanderson1755]

Wait what?! What's the story? I'm so glad he's ok, saw these guys two nights ago and I dunno if I've ever felt so strongly for a band or group of musicians in my life. Bless this fucking group.

[@magdalena6508]

This year marks my 20 years of love for The Ocean 🖤🖤🖤

[@DennisRadaelli]

Such an epic conclusion of the Holocene concept. Loïc vocals are powerful than ever and Paul's drumming is exquisite. Surprised that this one is also a "oceanized" version of SHRVL's Response, which is a song I can't stop listening since its release.

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

SHRVL is the Oceans Synth player Peter Voigtmann doing a reimagining of the musical concepts of Holocene. There will be a whole album reimagining Holocene called Limbus. It’s basically the ocean stripped down for specific exploration of certain concepts under specific conditions. Mostly aimed at focusing on the synth work. It will be a such a tasty dessert when this album comes out. And oh man I didn’t even know about the 24 minute song that supposed to be at the end of the album. THAT is going to be fucking interesting

[@DennisRadaelli]

@@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze absolutely! I'm so excited for Limbus as well. EP I was very beautiful, so I'm pretty sure Peter did a wonderful work with his debut album

[@Reaction_Image_Factory]

YES. FINALLY. This whole series of preview tracks I've been DYING for some of that phanerozoic heaviness with the rhythm guitar and the shouting vocals. This awesome classic sound combined with an AMAZING wtf introduction make this track damn near perfect for me. I do think they are frontloading us a bit with four singles being released prior to the album, but I can't deny that my favorite band still kicks ass. Love it. Can't wait for May.

[@WildlikeDestination]

I've been going through quite challenging times lately in every aspect of my life, and this new Ocean album has become my soundtrack for coping with it all. I feel a strong connection to it, both musically and lyrically.

[@memorabiliatemporarium2747]

Discovered you guys in 2011. The Centric duology had just been released and I immersed myself in it. Pelagial came soon after and became my favourite album of all time. I just love you guys. I am happy that you're still on the road. Much love from Brasil. That is all.

[@plushiepoke8087]

That sludge is NASTY 🤘 So hyped. Almost gives me a faint hint of Miocene|Pliocene but more menacing

[@divinefallfromgrace]

Love the Eastern motifs in this one, and the CRRUNCH. Not that The Ocean 'need' the Crunch, but it's always fun when it drops.

[@ŞöŁ_727]

Such a powerful band! Just discovered these gems! Love it!

[@raffaelcruz7708]

Another flawless song in this upcoming album.

[@vesuvius115]

God, this is phenomenal! Is anyone getting Aeolian vibes from Loics screams in this? With how distorted they sound, and even how it ends?

[@GrapeFlavoredAntifreeze]

The ebb and flow of it reminds me of She Was the Universe. The way he sings “Don’t act as if you were unaware of what lies ahead” is very similar to how he sings “I had a dream, which was not all a dream, the sun was extinguished, and the stars wandered darkling in space”

[@caldasfeelgood7282]

awesome...

[@michieljorissen5376]

This would be a great set opener! Followed by Jurassic/Cretaceous. Oh boy.

[@matromero1919]

After seeing them live, I think Triassic is still better as an opener but this still is freaking awesome ❤

[@JoeNation1994]

I saw them back in February at Baltimore Soundstage. Amazing band live!! I hope they come back 🤘🏻🖤

[@jaychow94]

I absolutely love the new direction that you guys have been going, I'm so excited for the album. Although I really enjoy the older albums, the recent singles that have come out have leapfrogged The Ocean into becoming my favourite band.

[@RemediosChap]

Ok, these singles are making me believe this will be their best album so far, which is incredible given their past records.

Que hype tengo por este nuevo album, cada cancion es ultra diferente, bien de The Ocean, no importa cuanto tiempo pase, ellos aunque con cada album suenen diferente siguen teniendo ese ADN propio ultra distinguible de ellos los adoro un monton ❤❤❤

[@fishy299]

After listening, I think this could be what leads into Heliocentric, as the fade out in Subatlantic transitions nicely into Shamayims fade in.

[@amjreptx1]

I hear a lot of ideas from Anthropocentric, I just can't pin point which songs at the moment. But its definitely the tone of the keys.

[@fishy299]

@Barry Adams Now that I think about it, this could definitely be an awesome transition to Anthropocentric. I can't tell which I prefer.

[@SeizedAlarm]

@Barry Adams After thinking, I think I still prefer it following the Shamayim fade in. Edit: Lyrically, Anthropocentric would make more sense as a follow-up. With the mention of "The Old Man" in both Subatlantic and Grand Inquisitor II, and the idea that humans are the end of the chain.

[@amjreptx1]

@@SeizedAlarm The vibraphone introduced at 2:57 is on point to the one in Shamayim. And the riff at 4:46 sounds similar to the intro riff of She Was the Universe. And I love the Cambrian theme being played like as if it was like a distant echo or an old memory. Like the resonance is still present from the Explosion but since time has passed the resonance is faint. I hope the album does lead into Heliocentric, because I think that was first release if im not mistaken. My Mind Would Infinity Explode if they do that.

[@amjreptx1]

@@fishy299 when the scream comes in, that part reminds me of She was the Universe. But I think Heliocentric is the first one in that double album.

I never explored this "holocene" style/vibe beyond what The Ocean and Shrvl do, i come more from the metal side, but i am totally in love with the synth stuff. How is it called? Where can i find more of this sound? Thnks in advance :) Btw looking so forward to having the whole albums in hand, i like the singles so much

[@daviddevilliers2828]

I suggest playgrounded band

[@JTPlays777]

To me it feels like a mix between progressive/post-metal and more sludge metal styles. For suggestions around the more synth styled sounds I would suggest Leprous, The Ocean opened for them in 2022 on their US tour which how I found out about them. They're more mellow prog-metal/rock with a lot of amazing synth sounds

[@richardaversa7128]

Agree, (older) Leprous would be the closest thing. Leans a bit more to alt metal than post metal, but has the synths, doominess and mix of clean and harsh vocals. Coal, Congregation and Malina albums specifically

[@Need4Needle]

than you for the suggestions! I already knew and respected Leprous, but i never thought they were for me, i probably gave them not enough attention (and i really love einar in ihsahn!) I also listened to playgrounded and they're soo pelagic records, that label is a true seal of quality!
