The Ocean

Few albums still feel relevant, fresh and contemporary-sounding, 10 years after their original release. THE OCEANs Precambrian, originally released in November 2007, is one such case: the bands musically most mature and versatile album to that date, Precambrian is distinguished by complexyet intimate songwriting, huge orchestrations, subtle electronic textures and immense harmonic and dynamic density.With guests appearances by Caleb Scofield (CAVE IN, OLD MAN GLOOM), Nate Newton (CONVERGE), Tomas Hallbom (BREACH) Eric Kalsbeek (ex-TEXTURES) and musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Precambrian remains a career-defining milestone for the band, and still a fans favourite. - possibly even more than just a random anniversary celebration? "There is a gap between Precambrian and Heliocentric, both conceptually and musically. and its atempting idea to fill that gap with a new album, that would connect the two", Robin Staps comments.The 10th anniversary edition of Precambrian comes with a bonus track: a brand new studio re-recording of 10-minutes opene r Rhyacian, featuring the current lineup with Loic Rossetti on vocals, Paul Seidel on drums and Mattias Haegerstrand on bass.
