The Ocean release new music video for ‘Parabiosis’

THE OCEAN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Parabiosis, is taken from the German post-metal band’s upcoming new album, Holocene, which is scheduled to be released in May this year.

Filmed on tour in the US, Canada and Puerto Rico, the video shows the artificially-aged band members sign up for an ‘eternal youth’ program and shows them aging in reverse.

The track itself is “about stem cell research and the cosmetics industry’s war against aging and our society’s quest for rejuvenation elixirs, plastic surgery etc, which leads to the question of – how far can and shall we go regarding bio-engineering and medicinal progress?” the band comments. “The cult of eternal youth has lead to death being hidden from our everyday lives. You literally see no old people in our modern inner cities anymore, everyone is young and healthy and the sick and dying are locked away in clinics and retirement homes where they won’t remind the general public of the fact that we are all going to die one day, which keeps us stuck on a hamster wheel of spending the time of our lives working jobs we hate to afford things we don’t need…”

Holocene is set for release on May 19th via Pelagic Records. Pre-orders will be available soon.
