Since 2001, the Berlin-based musician collective The Ocean have released 8 critically acclaimed studio albums, and a split EP with Japanese post-rock legends Mono. With an ever-changing lineup of various on- and off-stage musicians and visual artists, the relentlessly touring group around mastermind Robin Staps have become well known for their immense, mind-expanding live shows, which they have carried into the most remote corners of the globe, from Siberian halls to colonial theatres in Ecuador.

Over the course of their storied career, The Ocean have toured Europe and North America with iconic and influential artists such as OpethMastodonMonoCult Of Luna, The Dillinger Escape PlanAnathemaBetween The Buried And Me and Devin Townsend, and have appeared at major open air festivals including Roskilde, Dour, Pukkelpop, Wacken, Hellfest (3x), Fusion, With Full Force, Summer Slaughter, Summer Breeze (3x), Resurrection, Graspop, Roadburn and many more. The band's own Pelagic Records has also become one of the world's leading labels for post-rock and post-metal, with a catalog of 150 physical releases since 2009.

The Ocean signed with Metal Blade Records in 2006 already, at a time when the band was organised as a loose collective of changing musicians around mastermind Robin Staps. A host of guest singers appeared on „Aeolian“ (2006), the debut album on Brian Slagel’s label, among others Nate Newton (CONVERGE / OLD MAN GLOOM) and Sean Ingram (COALESCE).
