Unusually creative frontal assaults of monotone staccato grind-metalling through Mesa Boogies emulating steady covering fire from M-16s. Nile is the type of band that pulls this off almost as nicely, but The Ocean is comparatively more like a Rock Em Sock Em Robot in their jabs and feints, and closer to Black Dahlia Murder in their vocal approach, which touches no tones that can be found between Crumbsuckers bellowing and black-metal shrieks. For percussion fetishists into the heaviest of heavy. Order at MetalBlade.com
