The Ocean – FOGDIVER Vinyl LP

Originally released in 2003, THE OCEAN’s first instrumental studio album “Fogdiver” still sounds fresh and at times surprisingly close to the sound of theband’s later albums. With the original vinyl and CD release long out of print, it was time for a reissue: with a new, contemporary version of the original artwork, printed in silver ink on all black cardboard.Coming together around a vision of limitless sonic exploration and unrelenting heaviness, the Berlin-based post metal collective gained a formidable reputation within the post rock, post metal, progressive metal & hardcore scenes. Being revered as one of the most devastating live bands in contemporaryheavy music, The Ocean became a regular fixture on the European festival circuit appearing on metal festivals like Hellfest, Wacken and Resurrection as well as mainstream rock open airs like Roskilde, Dour, Pukkelpop or Oya and tastemakers’ indoor boutique festivals like Roadburn and Dunk!. Over the course of their storied career, the band have toured Europe and North America with artists such as Opeth, Mastodon, Mono, Cult of Luna, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Katatonia, Anathema and Devin Townsend.
