THE OCEAN to release new album + tour in spring 2013!

THE OCEAN

2013 will be a busy year for THE OCEAN. The band will release a new album on April 26 (GSA), April 29 (Europe) and April 30 (USA) 2013 on Metal Blade Records, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Heliocentric" and "Anthropocentric" albums (2010). To support the release, THE OCEAN will embark on a 3 weeks European tour with CULT OF LUNA in April and May (dates further below), including a performance at Roadburn Festival on April 20th. 

The new album will be a single album containing 52 minutes of new music. It will be mixed by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, ...) in January and will come in 2 versions: instrumental and with vocals. Comments The Ocean's Robin Staps: "The album was originally written to be instrumental, but in the end me and Loic couldn't help but try out a few things vocalwise and we soon got pretty excited... so there will be vocals on the album; however, we want everyone to have both versions, and we are also planning to perform the album live that way - with and without vocals." 

The special edition of the album will be released along with a film by Craig Murray 
(Nine Inch Nails). 

The 3xDVD "Collective Oblivion" has been postponed for a release later in the year, but shall also see the light of day in 2013.
