The Ocean release new music video for ‘Pleistocene’

THE OCEAN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Oligocene, is taken from the German progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic, which is scheduled to be released later this month.

Watch the official music video for Pleistocene here: 

In contrast with the compositional directness of Phanerozoic I, the new album is a vastly more progressive and perverse piece of work. “Phanerozoic II is more experimental, more eclectic in musical style and direction, and more varied in terms of tempos, beats, guitar work and the use of electronics,” notes guitarist Robin Staps. “This was an intentional choice: we wanted Part I to feel rather streamlined and to have a strong cohesion between the individual songs. We wanted to create a certain vibe to linger from the first until the last note throughout the whole record. We kept the weirder, more daring and more progressive material for Part II.”

Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic is set for release on September 25th via Metal Blade Records/Pelagic Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
