THE OCEAN have announced a headlining European tour!

Set to run from August through to October this year, the tour will see the German progressive metal band touring across mainland Europe and the UK in support of their latest studio album, Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic, which was released in September 2020.

Support for the tour comes from LLNN and PLAYGROUNDED. “We’re stoked to take our pandemic album Phanerozoic II out on the road after all this downtime, some rescheduled shows and some new ones,” comments guitarist Robin Staps about the tour. “With LLNN and PLAYGROUNDED we have two like-minded cutting edge bands on board that are ‘redefining heaviness’, to speak in Roadburn terms, not only by distorted guitars but also by their innovative use of electronics in heavy music.”
