German sludge/post-metallers The Ocean have announced to release a split EP along with Japanese post-rockers Mono, entitled Transcendental, which will be out on 23rd October. Although the band come from very different cultural origins, they share many similarities in their musical endeavours: a cinematic approach to music, based on lengthy, escalating compositions, the fact that both bands have existed for more than 15 years and released multiple albums since their inception; that they have toured many times around the globe, visiting off-the-beaten-track territories and finally their shared passion for double albums. So both bands have decided now to tour together and also release new music just in time for their extended European run, in form of a split EP – containing only two songs - only one by each band but 24 minutes of new music altogether. The Ocean's contribution, a 13 minute song entitled "The Quiet Observer", was inspired by Gaspard Noe's controversial movie Enter The Void, while Mono's contribution is a 11-minute song entitled "Death in Reverse". The song serves as a trailer for the upcoming 9th album, which is scheduled to be released in early 2016. Both bands will also share a stage with Icelandic atmospheric/post-metallers Sólstafir and you can check the live dates below. Link
