The Ocean dig deep for their first livestream
NOW THAT COHEED And Cambria have strayed from their Amory Wars space opera, The Ocean are prog metal’s longest-serving concept album loyalists. Their last odyssey, 2020’s Phanerozoic II, concluded a 13-year-running trilogy; picking up after Precambrian and Phanerozoic I, it finished narrating the entire history of Earth. Relishing their saga’s completion, Phanerozoic I is getting its own livestream from the intellectuals’ native Germany – with II to follow at the Roadburn Redux online festival.
