Westward bound,
I’ve seen the light of day.
The paintings on the walls of inner caves only appear where the light can’t reach.
O’, what a blessing that my shadow follows me.
I choose.
I choose where the light gets in;
an image mirroring my very being upon the canvas
that is the earth we tread,
that is the soil on which we step.
And would you think me to be wrong as I speak to you?
It’s been too long since I have seen your face.
Would you think me to be wrong as I speak these truths to you?
Then stay your tongue, lest I cut it where you stand,
O’, vile and sordid lech,
your tongue so laced with barbs and filth that it could blight the very earth
and sicken us all beyond repair.
O’, Lecherous One!
Stay your tongue lest I cut it where you stand.
Don’t think for a second that you’d be spared!
And would you think me to be wrong as I speak to you?
And would you think me to be wrong as I speak these truths to you?
O’, how they’ve long laid dormant,
so hidden, occult, and buried neath your cinders.
“And this won’t be the last of it.
Heed my words,
O’, Pilgrim.
This won’t be the last of it.”
Silence,
O’, Lecherous and Vile One!
I condemn you to a never-ending quiet.
Silence,
O’, Unholy and Perverse One!
I condemn thee to ageless damnation.
O’, be silent,
De-sanctifier, Pillager!
I condemn thee to speak no more.
Quiet,
O’, Unenviable, Cursed one!
I must travel westward bound.

The Ocean est maître du Temps et de l'Histoire : le collectif avait annoncé comme une prophétie la sortie de Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic pour 2020 et rien, pas même le cataclysme viral, ne l'aura empêché de le sortir en 2020.
Mais The Ocean est aussi maître du post-metal : cet album nous fait traverser avec virtuosité le règne des dinosaures, leur extinction (avec tant d'émotions !), le chaos puis l'apparition de ces étranges créatures qui pensaient contrôler le soleil...
Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020
