The post-metal band returns to America this year, with a change in their line-up and some new tour dates.

The Ocean is a post-metal band from Germany. They formed in 2001, and released their debut album in 2004. Pelagial, featuring “Bathyalpelagic II: The Wish in Dreams”, released in 2013, is their 6th album so far. The band toured America last year in The Summer Slaughter Tour, supporting this album. Within a year, the band decided to return to America and embark on a new set of shows.

This time, The Ocean will be touring with Prosthetic Recording artist Scale the Summit. They will also feature special guests The Atlas Moth and Silver Snakes. However, not all original members will be on this tour: guitarist Jonathan Nido and drummer Luc Hess “departed the band on mutual terms” late last year, but they will be replaced by drummer Paul Seidel, and guitarist Damian Murdoch.
