Oceans of Sadness to break up 2011-02-27 by Metalstyles | 33 Comments |
Belgian avant-garde metal band Oceans of Sadness have decided to call it quits after 15 years and 5 full-length albums.
Their statement reads as follows: "Dear friends,
First of all we want to thank all of you for supporting Oceans Of Sadness during these last 15 years. Thanks to you we had the chance to do a lot of cool things, much more than we ever dreamed of 15 years ago…
During these 15 years we’ve never really tried to be part of any particular scene musicwise and our image has always been the last thing we cared about. Creating our own sound and writing original and inspiring metal has always been our only real goal and we are proud of the road we travelled during the 5 albums we recorded, with “The Arrogance Of Ignorance” being the last one, released in 2008 on Scarlet Records. We are really proud of all our music and we ourselves have always believed that we kept getting better and better at what we wanted to do. But now we feel that our story may have been told…. Theoretically we could easily go on for another 15 years… but we won’t.
We feel time has come for us to relax for a while and who knows what happens in the future… I’m pretty sure all of us will continue making music, maybe together, maybe seperately, but more important is that we all have the feeling we can now close this chapter of our lives with pride and dignity. We’re not the kind of guys to close a door and throw away the key forever, not at all… however, we don’t have the intention to come back in this shape in a few years either… music is about creativity and challenging yourself and right now we feel we got stuck in some sort of routine for quite a while now… we lack the energy to record yet another album, again negotiating with labels, just to end up with another deal that only costs us a lot of money, followed by a few shows… We’ll see what happens in the future, like with everything in life: nothing is certain…
On a positive note: To celebrate the end of Oceans Of Sadness in style we decided to leave the scene with a blast and do a special last show. The date and other details will be released when all is certain. Thanks for everything! We hope you will enjoy our music for many years to come!"

|
| |
LOL GEDDIT
|
| |

We should make idiocy a bannable offence.
|
| |
There would be oceans of sadness if these guys were actually good
|
| |
They were more decent than most, certainly better than Woods of Ypres, but not quite in the top tier of bands of this ilk.
|
| |
they didn't contibute to the genre, only watered it down
they didn't release anything substantial, just average
|
| |
Just over average.
|
| |
okay fine balls 2.75/5
there
|
| |
Somehow this doesn't come as a surprise at all. Band was pretty ok but their last effort was somehow grating on you after a couple of spins.
|
| |
good riddance clearly
|
| |

This site would like die.
|
| |
all the oceans are parting. heh heh.
|
| |
stop it you.
|
| |
sweet
|
| |
being better than woods of ypres is not saying much .
|
| |
the fact that most of you guys probably havent heard anything by them other than their last two albums doesnt say much about you guys. theyve been experimenting with their sound on every album. each one brings something new. not saying their the best band out there but they have done a lot for the genre. shame they got to break up but im glad to say ive seen them live and i can respect their discography
|
| |
I've meant to listen to these guys a few times but never have. Guess now is as good a time as any.
I expect The Ocean to break up any day now.
|
| |
haha i just read on their facebook they are going to tour with Intronaut soon so hopefully after that lol
|
| |

Too bad, I liked this band.

I'm actually quite frightened that The Ocean Collective will call it quits now.
|
