96: The Ocean - 'Precambrian'.This album is heavy. Not Made out of Babies heavy, not terrible hair metal heavy, but whale heavy. Like a few tonnes of actual metal, this is very heavy. The Ocean are something of a supergroup, featuring guys from bands such as Cave In, Converge, Textures, and even some members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and they all come together to play some seriously brutal music. A 2 disc set, it starts off with 'Hadean', which is probably my favourite song on the album. Thats not to say the rest of the album fails to reach those heights, far from it. Its just a seriously intense album. There are moments of clarity in it all though, as the 2nd disc displays a teeny bit of restraint. The key term is teeny, as the majority of this album is serious faced heavy heavy music. And it is freakin' wonderful.
Download: 'Hadean', 'Eoarchaean'.
