The Ocean - "Firmament" (Live - 2010) Metal Blade Records

[DARKCLOUDeac]

So clean. Their drummer fucking steals the show in my opinion. Very good writing.

[woqer]

cant stop listening this

[Greenfreakstudios]

I usually listen to classic Death Metal and Metal/Hardcore/Wathever Fusions aren´t my cup of tea. But the Ocean changed my opiniopn dramatically, cause this music is much deeper than most metalcore!

[MrBASSnSHIT]

@Greenfreakstudios cause it's not metalcore

[Greenfreakstudios]

@MrBASSnSHIT You can´t deny it has Elements also used in Metalcore. ...doesn´t matter anyway :)

[0BFUSCATION]

@Greenfreakstudios

It doesn't, there's more sludge and post/progressive metal elements.

[666godofmetal]

went to go see these guys back when they toured with btbam. had no idea who they were when i got there. was instantly blown the fuck away. ironically, it was the same way i got into btbam the year before when i went to see mastodon and had no idea who btbam was.

[kirsh]

:') so much epic

[metafreak119]

I like the part where the song started.

[Mephidross91]

3:52...

[JohnChaosVirtue]

4:10 best chord in the song. Chilling.

[irrationalgaz]

that main riff is just chuncktacular.

[HalfwayHouse12a]

Why did they dub the track over the video?

[TheBrownTrooper]

Does anyone know the setlist they played on the Peter Says Denim tour with BTBAM? That was the first time I saw them live and I really wanna know what songs they played.

[sinksinkswim]

Once you listen to this song, you crave 2:05. I myself have listened to this song about 7 times in a row, because that moment haunts me until I listen to it again. This song builds perfectly every time.

[BlankTV]

@sinksinkswim Nice review!!

Thanx!! :D

[shmammer74]

@sinksinkswim for me its 6:15, when it comes back... it hits harder the second time imo

[AntagonistMortiis]

I'm quite interested in the religious aspect of this song. Some refereneces to teh Genesis bible - I'm not christian - but I've done my research on the lyrics. My bro is quite religious, so I've asked him what this song is about. Looking forward to hearing about it!

[BustedZen]

We need Charlie Sheen and his fire-breathing fists to deal with all these trolls.

[ProV1XXXV]

This is such an amazing song!

[WDEauburnuniv]

Music is music. Don't hate. Just enjoy.

[Kissarmy69]

hey feralite fuck you

[telematthias]

NOT LIVE

[BossNigger4]

@telematthias no shit sherlock

[WilsonT011]

@telematthias IN LIVE IT's WAY BETTER

[Faralite]

why do almost all prog-avantgarde-name your shit bands sound like a bunch of faggots, playing some emo shit?

Seriously...this genre is so wannabe unpredictable that it's actually very predictable in that it's gonna be a wrist slitting orgy of offbeat/downbeat/off-tune musical inserts.

The only good part is 5:20 onward. The rest is random predictable shit, most any prog band would play.

Really...listening to this genre doesn't make you that classy as you think!

[Shellewell]

@Faralite I hear something, do you? oh, its the sound of nobody giving a fuck

[ZombicidalMan]

@Faralite "Random predictable shit"? That's an oxymoron. Second, The Ocean is not a "prog-avantgarde-name your shit" band, they're metal. If you want to get specific, then they're post-metal. Anyone who thinks any kind of music is more classy than the other is a moron, and anyone who needs to label music with more than three words is equally stupid. Good day.

[kickdrumdv]

@ZombicidalMan actually an oxymoron consists of an adjective and a noun which have basically opposite meanings like "dead life" or "smart idiot" . "random predictable shit" is two adjectives before a noun, thus not making it an oxymoron. it's like saying "hot, cold potatoes" :D

[ZombicidalMan]

@kickdrumdv I believe that you, sir, just out-grammared me. Regardless, it's still a pretty dumb set of words to clump together, no?

[Metaldiabolic]

@ZombicidalMan I agree with kickdrum. It may be a little off topic, but i think we all agree it's 10 times better than arguing with random people on a youtube video. I mean it really doesn't matter what some person on the other side of the world thinks about a band. Therefore it doesn't make sense to get frustrated over such things.. just ignore stupid comments. I'm sure you came here to watch the damn video, and not to debate with jackasses. Peace

[ZombicidalMan]

@Metaldiabolic Agreed 100%. Glad there's some pretty sensible people on Youtube =P Cheers, mate.

[Theguywhoplaysguitar]

@Faralite Try in doing this first. You will completly fail creating music that is complex, but still logic and touching. Beside this,after 5:20 is the most predictable part, and afterwards the riffs are taken from the beginning. You're such an idiot^^

[jakandmusic]

saw 'em yesterday in vienna. breathtaking

[kaiowatribe]

4 people are retarted :S

[theDOAdrummer]

@kaiowatribe Retarded*

[tommybadboyx93]

hooked from the first time heard this band, AVANT-GARDE METAL!!!

[horija]

how could you not like this?

[scionofdreams]

They are 10x better live. Saw them last Saturday.

[MdayGuitarist]

Anyone who says they aren't as good live is right.. They're 10x better.

[ShadyPain]

this is not live! they just made a video using footages of their concert at chaux-de-fonds.

[llxTopHatxll]

just saw these guys last night, so good!

[haklbarry2]

this isnt life ?! nobody can play exactly the same quality in a live concert... awesome song

[cstahley12]

@haklbarry2 you've obviously never seen colors by between the buried and me then

[leitesman666]

nice band people...

[CitrusWavelengths]

they slammed when they played this tonight, but I was still hoping to see swallowed by the earth too

[0BFUSCATION]

Seeing them today :D:D:D

[TheCrusherDestroyer]

I really wish they played this last night :(

[EpsilonX]

is this actually live or is the studio version dubbed over it?

[21210002121]

@EpsilonX I was wondering the same thing myself. I wouldn't be surprised if this was live, i saw them a couple days ago and they are VERY good live

[TemocEht]

@EpsilonX They really are this amazing live.

[EpsilonX]

@TemocEht yea, i saw them last night. they didn't play this but it was pretty awesome

[evanse33]

@EpsilonX I think it's dubbed...it sounds too clear to be live...but I don't know for sure.

[haklbarry2]

@evanse33 for 100 %.... all my friends said that they arent as good as on their album ! =) but dont care... LISTEN TO THIS SICK SHIT :D

[SynapseDefect]

@haklbarry2 they are pretty damn bad ass live actually

[maclynb]

seeing these guys on sunday opening for BTBAM/JFAC

stoked

[KeikaxCinnamonx19]

This band reminds me so much of TOOL, but this one kinda spice things Up. I LOVE IT <3

[christianccpa]

:O

[kyrtos514]

2:10 my wall were plastered

[fersal1994]

EPIC, that's all i got to say. I'm in love of this band, and I don't think it will stop anytime soon!!! please come as soon as possible to Ecuador, South America. Heavy metal scene down here!

[theholyfather7777]

It shouldn't be called "live" but it is the perfect official video IMO.

What an amazing song

[Monstexitus]

EPIC.

[torbad]

terrible crowd + album dub = worthless video

[MrMooshie]

@branimirhrvoj The lyrics are taken almost word for word from the Bible, only to show what humanity's view of the universe was.

[xXBLKBox]

@branimirhrvoj Personally I like the lyrics, but I can definitely tell that who ever wrote them doesn't speak english as a first language.

[Monstexitus]

@xXBLKBox He's German. The one who wrote the lyrics and the whole band, too :P Just sayin'

[boban2]

Am I the only one who thinks the sound looks dubbed?

And crowd sucked, too busy trying to look cool.

[MrMooshie]

@boban2 I'm pretty sure its dubbed. This is one of my favorite albums tho

[psyshock918]

@boban2 of course it's dubbed...still awesome though

[daumoro]

yeah really good music, i mean not only good but unique. actually too much bands are similar just copy oldscool

[necrosatanico]

@branimirhrvoj That's because it's just a conceptual album about christianity. Listen to "Ptolemy was wrong" and their new album "Anthropocentric".They are atheist.

[Elfavzla]

Nice riffs

[Geraldi100]

Ok! Very Good!

[Sceptik0101]

Dear youtube, please remove the dislike button

[626tadpole]

@Sceptik0101 youtube puts it there to remind the world that there are morons in it.

[chiken420]

Starting to really like this band!

[roel4nd]

sick!

[eggonpetraw]

great!

[5v3n77]

Pure Awesomeness !

[snewso]

I think this band is great, been listening to them alot lately, I think Heliocentric is a perfect album but i was a bit disapointed by Anthro.

[DrumBum561]

@snewso i feel the opposite. I feel that Anthro was better. although if you listen to them in order its beautiful

[fischer3x3]

fantastic

[psyshock918]

Can't wait for them to come to the U.S.

[williamiswilliam1]

its allright
