Post-metal veterans The Ocean have pulled the figurative covers off their twelfth album. The new outing is titled Solaris and has been set for a September 25 release through Pelagic Records. The album’s first single, “Light Pollution,” and its accompanying music video (created by Craig Murray) can be found below.
Notably, Solaris introduces new vocalists Lane Shi and Enrico Tiberi, as well as guitarists Emmanuel Jessua and Marco Gennaro, who join founding guitarist Robin Staps, longtime bassist Mattias Hägerstrand, and drummer Jordi Farré.
The album was mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Amon Amarth) and tracked at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany, where David Bowie’s Low and “Heroes,” Iggy Pop’s Lust For Life, and Depeche Mode’s Construction Time Again were all put to tape.
