PRESS RELEASE:
ARTIST: Ocean Of Another
EP: One Day This Pain Will Subside
EP RELEASE DATE: March 4th 2024
Ocean Of Another is Croatian modern metal/metalcore band founded in early 2022.
The band deals with the harsh realities of being human, focusing mainly on mental health, addiction, and inner struggles. Through their songs Ocean Of Another aims to offer a helping hand and a place to connect and heal, as reflected in their tagline ‘’ Become a drop in the Ocean Of Another’’. Only by sharing our experiences, fears and pains can we begin to heal.
Some members are also part of the Croatian most successful metal band Manntra and bands such as Pale Origins, Zenoth, Ochi and Grapevine Babies. All of them have previous experiences as recording artists with the mentioned bands and others such as Cold Snap and Monox.
One Day This Pain Will Subside takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery. Lyrically, the songs deal with pain, loneliness and trauma of human condition. The band opens up about their deepest wounds and hurts to connect with the audience, emphasizing that everyone feels pain and that, in that pain, no one is alone.
Ultimately, the band aims to help people connect with and discover their true selves.
In a world where capitalism has put a price on everything, including revolution, the band seeks to show that the final act of rebellion is the act of self-discovery. Knowing oneself prevents others from becoming one's master.
The agenda behind this EP can be summarized in lyrics from Terraform ‘’ reclaim your humanity from the depths of banality/don’t let your fear of death plunge you into apathy’’
Musically, the EP resides in the modern metal/metalcore landscape, drawing inspiration from artists such as Bad Omens, Falling in Reverse, Motionless in White, Northlane, Bring Me The Horizon, and Linkin Park. All the music on this EP was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by the band, except for "Indigo," which was mastered by Joel Wanasek (Machine Head, Monuments, Blessthefall).
The band is actively involved in the creation of their music videos, handling the writing, production, direction, and filming with the assistance of talented friends like Mara Prpic, Dino Mozek,Vjekoslav Palinic and Damir Debanic. Every video is a DIY project under the complete creative control of the band.
So far, the band has released five songs, including an acoustic cover of Slipknot - snuff This cover gained significant attention, accumulating over 500,000 streams on Spotify and over 150,000 views on YouTube Music. Each song is accompanied by a video available on the band's YouTube channel. In December 2022, the band received the Ri Rock award for "Best Newcomer."
