EXCLUSIVE 12" PICTURE DISC FOR RECORD STORE DAY 2018!!!! ? This 12' picture disc features a brand new studio re-recording of the "Precambrian" opener Rhyacian, with the band's current lineup. ? The B-side has an instrumental version of the same track, which is exclusive to this Record Store Day release!! ? While THE OCEAN are working on the conceptual sequel to the band's 2007 album Precambrian; the band has recently reissued the album on vinyl. To further celebrate the 10th anniversary, the Berlin musician's collective has announced a short tour around a number of European festivals this spring, where they will perform the album in its entirety. ? 'Epic in scope and flawless in execution, 'Precambrian' reinforces The Ocean as one of the most exciting names in modern heavy music. Behold mind-blowing metal on a wagnerian scale' - Rock Sound, 9/10 ? 'Full of cinematic breadth and orchestral majesty, it's easy to get lost in the album's 80 minutes of rhythmic sea changes and powerful riffing. The Ocean excel in their idiosyncratic nuances and hammering insistence on this Teutonic paean to Earth's geology' - Revolver, 4/5 ? ' engrossing to the point where words don't necessarily matter: The Ocean do for earth science class what Mastodon did for Melville: make learning brutal' - Decibel, 9/10 ? 'An ape-sized thorn to religious types who believe Earth is 2000 years old. Badalamenti-inspired passages and heaps of classical instrumentation finding a healthy home during the ascents and descents of crooned dark rock, Mr. Bungle-playfulness, Neur-Isis dirges and DEP/NIN electronica. Astounding work.' - Terrorizer, 9 /10 ?
