"The Ocean’s Robin Staps is to metal as George Lucas is to filmmaking."
- Kevin Stewart-Panko, METAL MANIACS, USA
"a multifaceted display of complexity and heaviness that simply must be heard!"
- TheMetalForge.com
"Queen of the Food Chain,” the album’s best track — and the year’s finest metal single
to date — is blending all of The Ocean's stregths: majestic black-metal keys, industrial
squeaks underneath the guitar riffs, long acoustic passages spotlighting drummer Torge Ließmann,
and Ingram’s superiorly modulated growls."
- EXCLAIM Magazine, Canada<br>
"airily melodic passages alongside end-of-the-world-is-nigh bludgeon. 'Fogdiver' is an eminently listenable
piece of work, with skilful attention to mood comparable to soundtrack music."

... no other band on this eternally doomed planet.
The Ocean Collective’s oftentimes deeply convoluted compositions sweep across dismal landscapes shaped by faceless modern architecture and symbols of power looming large on all horizons, tearing up the asphalt of our cities’ streets with berserk drum attacks, at times pausing for a minatorial
instant, granting the battered listener a short moment to breathe in the foul odor of panic, before winding up again, with deafening noise and sparks flying all across the stage, into the black city night’s skies... Rich with dire lust for life and oozing with complaisant brutality, they come across as epic and sinfonical, long yet hardly long-winded. Slow, calm and doomy passages with classical instruments and clear references to soundtrack music culminate in guitar-dominated outbursts of orchestral noise and modern, technical metal/hardcore.

Rockband NOIR is looking for 202 guitarists and bassists for their project “THE BERLIN WALL OF SOUND”. At 09/11/2009, 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, they will create a wall of sound by electric guitarists and bassists, at the place where the wall stood at that time.
If you would like to be part of a wall that brings people together, to honor the 206 victims of the wall and to reflect on the importance of freedom, you could sign up and join this project!
Just send an e-mail to: berlinwallofsound@gmail.com.
