PELAGIC RECORDS to release new EF 10″ vinyl record this fall!

The Ocean recently played 2 shows in Russia with our friends from EF, and while hanging out forever backstage, plans were made for a new EF release on PELAGIC RECORDS.
So here we go: Pelagic will release a 10″ vinyl record by this fine Swedish after the summer with around 30 minutes of new material by this fine Swedish post-rock-band. T
he album will be strictly limited and come with hand-numbered silk-screened cover artwork – so keep your eyes and ears open for pre-order information later this spring.
EF will support this release with a two weeks European tour and most of it is already booked and confirmed – starting September 22nd and concluding October 6th. Dates and details will be announced in a few dates – stay tuned!

ALL “GRAND INQUISITOR” – PREORDERS SHIPPED!

All preorders of The Ocean – The Grand Inquisitor 10″ went out yesterday and today. You can expect to receive your parcel within the next 1-15 days, depending on where you live…

For all those who didn’t have luck with the first version, there WILL be  a 2nd pressing of the 10″, but it may be a little while…

ABRAHAM have started recording their follow-up album to “An Eye on the Universe”

Abraham have started recording their follow-up album to “An Eye on the Universe”. Drum takes are done, recorded at Wood Studio in Lausanne, for a nice warm wooden sound. Vocals, guitars and a new secret instrument (not used on the previous record) will be recorded during night time in March – when the bureaucrats below Abraham’s studio leave the office to return to their comfortable slippers… depressive ambiance guaranteed! Check Abraham’s facebook page for studio pics and videos.

The album will be mixed and mastered by the grand Magnus Lindberg. No need to say the band is stoked to work with the alchemist of so many great records!

The album will consist of 8 new tracks. Lyrics are loosely adapted from the short story The Chronoception by J.-G. Rawl.

That’s all we can say for the time being. Please stay tuned for more details, album & song titles, release date, etc.

Pelagic Records release Hypno5e – Acid Mist Tomorrow

With their 2nd studio album „Acid Mist tomorrow“, French metal experimentalists HYPNO5E create a unique musical realm. You could call it „ambient metal“ or „fusion metal“; there is the airy playfulness of modern day′s CYNIC in their songwriting, but the melodic, mellow side is only half of the picture. The other side is dark and crushingly heavy, but the airy serenity always comes back at one point: this is what makes „Acid Mist Tomorrow“ so interesting and captivating.

After 2 full US tours and more than 200 shows alongside bands such as GOJIRA and even ABIGAIL WILLIAMS, HYPNO5E are no longer just a „French phenomenon“. The 4-piece′s live shows display a holistic approach to the arts: with video projections and conceptual lighting being an integral part of the spectacle, HYPNO5E create a mesmerizing atmosphere that sucks the listener into their dark cosmos. The band was recently seen supporting legendary fusion metallers CYNIC across Europe.

THE OCEAN and all our 3 side-projects confirmed for Asymmetry Fest !

THE OCEAN and all our 3 side-projects
confirmed for Asymmetry Fest !

If The Ocean alone is not enough for you, you should consider visiting Asymmetry Festival – we will be performing there along with our 3 side-projects EARTHSHIP (Robin), COILGUNS (Jona, Luc + Louis) and K U N Z (Luc + Louis).

Other bands on the bill are KILLING JOKE, SLEEP, BOHREN & DER CLUB OF GORE, AETHENOR, RED FANG, AMEN RA, CELESTE, BLACK TUSK, OBAKE, A STORM OF LIGHT and many others.

This lineup speaks for itself… Asymmetry is a small indoor boutique festival in the beautiful city of Wrozlaw, Poland, only 4 hours from Berlin. These guys are dedicated to bringing challenging music to Poland, and are guided by the same motives and aesthetics as us with Friction Fest here in Berlin.

See you at Asymmetry Festival, on May 3rd – 5th 2012!
