Few albums still feel relevant, fresh and ontemporary-sounding, 10 years after their original release. THE OCEAN's Precambrian, originally released in November 2007, is one such case: the band's musically most mature and versatile album to that date, Precambrian is distinguished by complex yet intimate songwriting, huge orchestrations, subtle electronic textures and immense harmonic and dynamic density. With guests appearances by Caleb Scofield (CAVE IN, OLD MAN GLOOM), Nate Newton (CONVERGE), Tomas Hallbom (BREACH) Eric Kalsbeek (ex-TEXTURES) and musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Precambrian remains a career-defining milestone for the band, and still a fan's favourite. While THE OCEAN have been focusing on their latest album Pelagial on recent tours, the band will be kicking off a revisitation of Precambrian with a headline set at DOOM OVER LEIPZIG Festival on April 21, 2018, where they will be performing the album in its entirety - possibly even more than just a random anniversary celebration? "There is a gap between "Precambrian"and "Heliocentric" both conceptually and musically. and it's a tempting idea to fill that gap with a new album, that would connect the two", Robin Staps comments. The 10th anniversary edition of Precambrian comes with a bonus track: a brand new studio re-recording of 10-minutes opene r Rhyacian, featuring the current lineup with Loic Rossetti on vocals, Paul Seidel on drums and Mattias H?gerstrand on bass.
