Aeolian is the second studio album by German post-metal band the Ocean. It was released on 7 March 2006 through Metal Blade Records.
About
[edit]Aeolian is the second part of a two-CD project that started with Fluxion. Whereas Fluxion had a focus on atmosphere and orchestral sounds, Aeolian focuses more on the band's hardcore and metal influences.[2][5] The two albums were originally intended to be released together as a double CD, but this was cancelled due to financial reasons.[1]
An animated music video was created for the song "One with the Ocean".[6]
Track listing
[edit]All tracks are written by Robin Staps. Lyrics to "The City in the Sea" are based on the poem of the same name by Edgar Allan Poe.
