All the way from Germany, The Ocean has managed to make a pretty good name for themselves, with the help from such legends as Nate Newton(Converge), Sean Ingram(Coalesce), and many others who have helped lay down vocals for their last 3 albums. Still having a main vocalist, they decided to make their sound more interesting, that they would mix it up with other people contributing their vocals to all the songs. Its a pretty cool concept, and a brilliant idea to help get your bands name out to people who normally wouldnt listen to them. I first heard their album "Aeolian" when i was working at a college radio, hosting my own show. They soon became a love of mine, and have since blown me away with their latest album, which is a double disc called "Precambrian" With one disc taking a bit of a slower pace then the 1st disc, but yet still crushing in its own way. They recently had lost a vocalist, but have now replaced that spot, and began recording 2 albums which will be released next year, at 2 separate times. Keep your ears open for them, cause this band is soon to be a staple for experimental crushing sludge metal.
