Me 2. Glad I did !!

Tour? Maybe with Archspire?

Maybe you are right, or maybe you are overthinking it. It is not the first time The Ocean uses the same phrase or melody in various songs of an album. Anyway it's an interesting point of view from you. Cheers! to the best band ever!

I dont know for me interpretation is just interpretation Just like we interpret nature It being wrong doesn’t make the interpretation any less beautiful. (What i dislike thought is what is done in some classes where you take poetry smash it’s skull in to death with a big ass rock skin it, cut it up put it in a bowl shuffle it and pull an explanatory text out of it. It’s fucking necromancy and make me want to bring in roadkill and use it to talk about life in nature to make a point Sorry let my frustration talk a bit too loud at the end there

@@profefelipemedina3753 Is very usual to reuse some melodies in conceptual progressive albums, nothing new here. Haken do it in every album, even using melodies of previous albums.

@@reedy_9619 What makes the fascination of dissecting poetry even funnier to me is that most poets you "learn" from in class tend to have a reason, thought process or a particular topic about their work which they often openly discuss at lectures and so on. Why any form of poetry/art requires minutus detail scraping is beyond me. As you mention though, interpretation is just that and people will form their own thoughts and personal feelings behind any work of art or topic. We've all had the feeling from a piece of art; be it music, painting, poems that the art was made for you and you alone. The feeling you get when you're listening to a piece of music from a relatively unheard of artist and you get the sense you may be the only person in your entire country that is listening to it is an example. Another being a song you will listen to regularly but for some reason will never share it with anyone. That feeling of personal ownership or deep emotional connection to a work of art no matter what it is, is likely the reason behind some questionable analysis of poetry you might hear in a classroom or a lecture hall. Some interpretations are just ugly. However, OPs was not, and was rather quite beautiful.

@@giantrobot5804 It's depth. Sound's like you prefer more shallow stuff. I along with others find shallow stuff less than satisfying ...most of the time. There are times it's nice to listen to shallow less dense music though for sure. Perhaps you can imagine it as an image with less depth of view allowing you only to see a few meters vs another in which you can see layer after layer all the way to the horizon and people arguing over what they see.

Definitely top 3 Ocean songs for me. It does not get old

Tool meets Linkin Park, i'll allow it

I always think of VOLA with this song

They are not really a hidden gem, though, anyone with even a passing interest in the scene would have heard of them, and rightfully so :)

First time listening to this group. Everything I love about music is in this album.

Your username is particularly humourous to me 😄👍

Absolutely truth speaking dinosaur, i read ur mind ur psyops assasin dressed like an EZio in AC|| and now yt gives me ad bye

@@brzofil Dino Don't? Go there lol? You're close enough over there and you're up you got tons and tons of petrified creatures and what not ,dragon's, giant frogs and serpents hmmm. But those experts say it's a dinosaur that they created with CGI just like that outer space stuff cover up the reality of what the fossils are revealing for those with eyes to see all the good stuff they actually fine never sees the light of day and if it does it has a lie holding all its weight.

@@IRieAsAVirus37 I'm actually riding a gitant slug Frog, it has tooths like sabertooth, reaching out from its mouth, and leave big oozy crap on the ground when moving around, I am dressed in black kimono

One day all this can be yours... really a lot from Oceansize

I'm sure by now you've gotten to Pelagial. It is literally about the size of the ocean.

@@justinlamb2864 sure have, and was equally as blown away as I was by the rest of their recordings

Haha, its similar for me. I wanted to go for Karnivool the year prior, sadly i red that the tour got delayed yet again. Lateron I checked out the new date, saw that they will be accompanied by The Ocean and I was hyped immidatly, since i already knew them. Srsly underrated group, they have a very unique attempt to metal. Their vocalist is a god damn machine, his screams are haunting. And i agree, Mioscene//Plioscene is an absolute beast live. The athmosphere, undescribable.

in the end i was blown away more by The Ocean then by Karnivool. (who were absolutely amazing, none the less) **

Intronaut's last record there is particularly beastly...

tool meets gojira type shit

Niiice. Had always trouble to describe people how they sound like besides of saying that they're amazing but tool meets gojira is actually very fitting👌😁

It's between this and Imperial Triumphant's Alphaville for me. An absolutely amazing record no less though!

@@PanicAttack3211 Imperial Triumphant holds the top spot for me right now with Ulcerate at number 2. I'll need to give this a few more listens before deciding its place. Its fucking great tho

@@zachward6497 For sure Triumphant, Ulcerate and this album should be in top 3! I have had high hopes about Gojira, but after I heard the new single, I don't think so, not anymore! Also, if you a fan of funeral doom - new Bell Witch is from another universe!

@@FaceOfOden Bell Witch made a helluva album, not my favorite funeral doom release this year though, that would go to Convocation. Epic shit. This year has been full of top notch releases. Some others in my top 10 are Pyrrhon, Paysage D'hiver, The Spectral Lore and Mare Cognitum split, Atramentus (More Funeral doom), and Gaerea. I'd rec any of them dude. After one listen of this album though I'd put it top 5 for now. I see it only moving up though.

@@zachward6497 Gaerea as well yes! But I think their first record is better! Anyway, bands you mentioned are top as well!

Toojira

I can hear Neurosis influences in 'Palaeocene'.

Tool, Neurosis, Cryptopsy, Trip Hop and a splash of Black Metal too.

@@divinefallfromgrace On the nose with those comparisons. Best album in the last decde for me. Phenominal. Gets all my "metal-music spots" in all the right places.

@@blainemono3544 exactly what I was going to say ! Then on other titles, it feels like a mix between Tool, Leprous, Neurosis & Architecs maybe...

You've gotta check out Pelagial and Phanerozoic 1. Fuck it, just check out their whole album library.

My favorite band and I’ve been listening to metal for 30+ years. These guys set the bar so high it can’t be reached!!!

start with Heliocentric/Anthropocentric . then Pelagial, then Phan 1.

check everything they've done, there's no bad album

You gotta see them live if possible- they are just fantastic people too- thats always a nice bonus.

el mejor,al menos para mi.

That is a dream line up for a show... You are so fortunate, especially now that Cynic is basically gone... That must've been an insane show!

@@mola55e5 Had a blast that night.. Very fond memory of me and my buddy screaming for Cynic to play How Could I after they asked for request. Sean just points to us with his stick nods his head with a look like "you're goddamn right we're gonna play How Could I" and he just rips the intro off. Met Paul and Mikael that night too and few of the Ocean guys were hanging around but didn't speak with them. Glad I seen Cynic several times they're a true great metal band. RIP Sean

Jesus is the truth, the way and the light. No one goes to the Father except through Him.

Haven't heard yet, but it's got some competition. Ulcerate and Imperial Triumphant killed it this year. Very eager to hear what the the ocean brought to the table.

Along with Loathe.

Enslaved are also releasing their new album in a week!

@@deepdickchopra3662 amazing one! One of the greatest discoveries of 2018. So glad it gained more attention this year with the Pelagic repress.

I love the ocean but for me it's Elder - Omens. No need to argue about whats better though. :P

They have tentatively scheduled a tour in for early next year. Depending on what the state of the world is, of course. They have said that if it needs to be rescheduled for later next year they all tickets will be transferable 🤘🏻

It was so worthy

@@educostanzo The dinosaurs came and went in one song. And that's basically the beginning of the album.

@@Stroopwafels112 Two songs. The Triassic period is also full of them. Maybe not so much on the lyrics. ;)

@@educostanzo dinos did not appear during the Trissiac ; they were the Dinosoromorpha, ancestors of dinos

What's aoty

You always break my heart. So much beauty, so much art breaks my heart.

The oceans of slumber album is absolutely incredible.

Take care of your hearing.

Breathlessly, "My love, how I have missed you..."

This will go down in prehistoric history as the greatest album of all time

Not in a world Where Parallax 2: Future Sequence exists. But it's great nonetheless.

@@CheddarGetter it's all subjective

@@incitatus953 lol of course

Dan Larkin that’s stiff competition!! BTBAM and The Ocean are my 2 favorite bands so I can’t argue with ya 🤘🤘🤘

yeah, the vocal melodies on this sound a lot like Flaw (their old, good stuff). I wonder if its a coincidence or they actually listened to Flaw.

Now that's a comparison I never thought I'd hear. But it's a good and apt one.

I thought of Flaw as well.

I like the second part of the chorus better actually. Paul launches into the same rhythm but with full on ride action. The vocals Loïc delivers there are bone chilling too. I just today posted the entire Guitar Pro tab on UG for the song. It's amazing what layers you hear once you start listening for details.

dont get how you dislike something you havent even heard, thats trolls for you

I was going to say anybody who dislikes this wants their head looking at! It’s an outstanding album!

@@tommo2994 if they don't like it, let them dislike

dislikes are from those who dislike it, I really don't understand why these regurgitated comments always get traction. Just enjoy the damn thing and stop caring about others.

@@franlovelsimic8421 Maybe because the dislikes came before the tracks went live, so they hadnt heard it and therefore couldnt know if they disliked it.

Quem é "Renato Timbó" ?

Gustavo Tenorio waiting on mine to arrive. Went for the clear vinyl, this will have to suffice until then

Dinosaur go 🦖☄️💥

Brotein ikr

Also Silurian has some Calymmian flavour mid-song, i dig these kind of things!

Glad im not the only one who caught that, first listen reminded me of Calymmian

Channeling the pain into art can be very cathartic for the creator though, so hopefully the burden is lifted somewhat.

Yes sir ehhh but ahh yes!!!

My favorite too!

I agree! My favorite geological era on the timescale 👌🏼

you must- they are such great people as well as great musicians-

I found Trirassic to be too blant.

Miocene / Pliocene is literally my favourite :D

Are they shipped from the US? I purchased some TO merch recently and it came from Belgium (only took around a week, from their store)

@@declanpossnett2481 depends who you've purchased from the ocean/palegic records stuff will come from mainland Europe but I bought a t-shirt and CD from metal blade records in Ohio so its been posted but not left the US yet.

@@jamesthemachinedean ah yes, anything from Metal Blade will be the US! Hope it doesn't take too long for you dude

@@declanpossnett2481 cheers man, 3 weeks I reckon but who knows with the global situation.

@@jamesthemachinedean I've only just received a BTBAM t-shirt that I ordered around 5-6 weeks ago, hopefully you don't have to wait that long...

best off for me to
