Progressive sound revolutionists THE OCEAN today present Bathyalpelagic III: Disequillibrated from their anticipated forthcoming new masterwork, Pelagial. Easily their most profoundly sophisticated work to date, Pelagialis a true sonic journey written, recorded, mixed and to-be-performed-live as one single 53-minute piece of music. The concept of the album is made evident in its title, Pelagial. Listeners are quite literally submersed as they journey with the band, beginning at the surface of the ocean and plunging through all five pelagic depth zones: epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathyalpelagic, abyssopelagic, and hadopelagic.

Said Spin Magazine: „The sixth album from German post-metal doombringers THE OCEAN is huge… In the course of the 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.”
Mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Witchcraft) at Fascination Street Studios in Örebrö, Sweden, Pelagial will be released as a double CD, which includes a vocal and an instrumental version of the album and is scheduled for release on April 26th/29th through Metal Blade Records Europe.
THE OCEAN are currently touring Europe. Most of the tour will be in support of CULT OF LUNA, some are headline shows and festival appearances and there’s also a few shows in support of MASTODON!
