A due anni di distanza da “Phanerozoic I: Paleozoic” tornano a farsi sentire i The Ocean che annunciano l’uscita del loro nuovo album. Il secondo volume dell’opera si intitola “Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic” ed uscirà il 25 settembre per Metal Blade Records/Pelagic Records.
Il leader e chitarrista Robin Staps parla così del disco:
‘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. 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.
Di seguito trovate il primo singolo Jurassic | Cretaceus, che vede la partecipazione di Jonas Renkse dei Katatonia, assieme a copertina e tracklist completa dell’album.
