German post-metal vanguards The Ocean have announced they are finally returning to Australia this April to take fans Down Under through their highly acclaimed album Pelagial, one of 2013’s most critically acclaimed releases, in full for the very first time in Australia.

The band will be kicking off their latest Australian tour at Canberra’s The Basement on Wednesday, 18th April, before heading to Sydney’s The Factory Floor on the 10th, Brisbane’s The Brightside on the 11th, Byron Bay’s The Northern on the 12th, Adelaide’s Jive on the 16th, Melbourne’s The Evelyn Hotel on the 18th, and Perth’s Amplifier on Sunday, 19th April.

The past few years have seen The Ocean relentlessly traversing the globe to accompany the iconic likes of Opeth, Devin Townsend Project, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Between The Buried And Me, The Black Dahlia Murder, and many more, cementing their reputation as an unforgettable live act everywhere from Siberia, to Hong Kong.

Pelagial, a concept record that takes the listener on a journey that begins at the surface of the ocean and plunges through all five pelagic depth zones, is a progressive and ambitious musical odyssey, written, recorded, mixed, and performed as one single 53-minute piece of music, making for a live experience unlike any other.
