Fucking godly stoner metal. Get high.



The songs, art and lyrics of Heliocentric tell the story of the rise of the

heliocentric world view and its effects on Christian beliefs from medieval

times to Darwin and Dawkins. Musically, Heliocentric covers the largest range

of dynamics and styles The Ocean has ever endeavored. There are a few really

calm songs with mainly piano and vocals, as well as some crushing heavy

tunes. There is a very special atmosphere to it that pervades the album

comments guitarist Jonathon Nido.



Heliocentric continues where the Proterozoic half of the Precambiran album

left off, with dense, epic songs and big orchestrations. The album was mainly

recorded in the mountainous isolation of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the

highest city in Europe. He band recorded and mixed the album with the band s

live sound engineer Julien Fehlmann. We wanted to be in control of every

single detail and we have an amazing studio at our disposal. Sound-wise this

is by far the best sounding album by The Ocean to date.
