THE OCEAN: New Video Interview Available

May 17, 2008

Hungarian metal magazine "Kettngy" has uploaded an interview with Berlin, Germany's THE OCEAN conducted prior to the band's May 11, 2008 concert in Budapest, Hungary. Watch the footage below.

THE OCEAN's extensive concept album, "Precambrian", was released last November via Metal Blade Records. The double-disc effort is the soundtrack to the beginning of evolution, subdivided into two successive geological eons ("Hadean/Archean" and "Proterozoic"). The songs are divided into five subordinate eras, with the songtitles carrying the names of subordinate geological periods. Disc 1 features the typical THE OCEAN brutality while Disc 2 shows the deeper, more emotional side of what the collective also stands for.

"Precambrian" is available as a deluxe digipack and was recorded in the band's own Oceanland studio as well as in Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, Los Angeles and Seattle. Once again the incredible artwork was done by highly acclaimed artist Martin Kvamme (FANTOMAS, TOMAHAWK, PATTON/KAADA).

"Precambrian" has a running time of 84 minutes and features guest appearances by Scofield (CAVE IN, ZOZOBA, OLD MAN GLOOM),Nate Newton (CONVERGE, DOOMRIDERS),Dwid Hellion (INTEGRITY),Tomas Hallbom (BREACH),Eric Kalsbeek (TEXTURES) as well as the musicians of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
