THE OCEAN COLLECTIVE

 More from this Band



While THE OCEANS "Phanerozoic" I & II albums as well as last years
live companion still hot, Pelagic is reissuing THE OCEAN's 2010
albums "Heliocentric" and "Anthropocentric" on vinyl! "Heliocentric"
was the first album with current vocalist Loïc Rossetti, a game
changer in the band's history. The album is characterized by his
shimmering cleans alongside abrasive, powerful screams.
"Heliocentric" sees the band venture into calmer territories as
compared to its predecessors: the album is defined not solely by
walls of guitars, but also by careful orchestrations of piano, upright
bass, strings and textural electronics. Conceptually "Heliocentric" is a
comprehensive critique of the legacy of christianity: the iconic
opening track ,Firmament", still a fan's favourite, starts off with
original text from the bible; while ,Ptolemy Was Wrong" and
,Catharsis of A Heretic" tackle Gallilei's and Copernicus' discoveries
that Earth is not at the center of the universe, for which Giordano
Bruno was burnt at the stake. The album concludes with Charles
Darwin's theory of evolution, and considerations by Richard
Dawkins', the spearhead of modern day's aetheism, in the epic 14
minutes closing track duality ,The Origin Of Species" and ,The Origin
Of God". For fans of BREACH · TOOL · THRICE · NINE INCH NAILS ·
