AND OCEANS

CD in deluxe Digipak with 16-page booklet

In the frozen depths of Finland's iciest lakes, …AND OCEANS emerged, fusing symphonic black metal with avant-garde twists and splashes of industrial chaos. For decades, they've been the torchbearers of a genre that defies boundaries - constantly reinventing their sound with each new album.
Their latest full-length, ‘The Regeneration Itinerary’, is a transcendent expedition into the duality of light and dark. Recorded in the halls of SoundSpiral Audio and mixed to perfection at Necromorbus Studio, this album weaves a tale as old as time yet refreshingly modern. With tracks like the ethereal, techno-laden "Inertiae" and the haunting "Förnyelse i Tre Akter", Mathias Lillmåns' lyrical prowess unfurls across Timo Kontio's and Antti Simonen's masterful compositions, each note dripping with existential ponderings and razor-sharp riffs. Imagine being embraced by a Siberian storm while contemplating the cosmos- that’s the electrifying impact these songs deliver. A standout, "Prophetical Mercury Implement", offers a fervent glimpse into their musicianship, promising an aural journey that’s as profound as it is raw. From the melodic "I am Coin, I am Two" to the relentless drive of "The Fire in Which We Burn", this itinerary navigates the delicate balance where shadows kiss the dawn

For fans of EMPEROR, DIMMU BORGIR, DARK FUNERAL, DØDHEIMSGARD.

It’s rare for a band to commandingly return with their best effort to date, and yet that’s what And Oceans achieved in 2020 with ‘Cosmic World Mother’, their first full-length in 18 years. This comeback album was the sound of creative floodgates bursting through into a new body of water - an ocean if you will.
Blistering symphonic black metal, heady themes that dealt with the connection between philosophy and psychics, and the Finns’ trademark adventurous songwriting: everything that ‘Cosmic World Mother’ did well, new opus ‘As In Gardens, So In Tombs’ manages to eclipse and recontextualize. It’s the sound of a band seizing every ounce of momentum and upping the ante in every way.
While And Oceans has never written the same album twice, in many ways ‘As In Gardens, So In Tombs’ sounds like an opportunity for the band to pick up and improve upon what they started. Symphonic black metal is never this fun, free, and fantastic.

For fans of EMPEROR, LIMBONIC ART, THE KOVENANT, (early) DIMMU BORGIR.

Finland’s symphonic black metal sweethearts AND OCEANS turned rogue with their third full-length and adopted a drastically more electronic music influenced style. As a result, A.M.G.O.D (2001) was much debated upon its release: both praised for its inventiveness but also misunderstood many fans.
Now, A.M.G.O.D is an integral part of the band’s discography and a must have to complete one’s AND OCEANS collection, released on vinyl for the first time.

For fans of EMPEROR, ABORYM, SAMAEL.

Issued in a standard jewel case with clear tray and a 12-page booklet.
