Im Kern ist der Sound der deutsch-österreichischen Truppe OCEANS sicherlich Metalcore/Nu/Post Metal und dennoch sind die Prog und Death Elemente, die inhaltliche Komponente und der musikalische Anspruch so bemerkenswert, dass sowohl der Vorgänger als auch die neue „Hell Is Where The Heart Is, Pt. II: Longing“ EP das Hinhören wert sind. Von dieser gibt es den Schlusstrack `Living=Dying´ im Videoclip.

Lyrics:

Vaster and brighter

Faster and wider

Farther and higher

Another spark will set this world on fire

All life is dying

With eyes wide shut

And all the puppets keep dancing on their strings

Facing a well-known enemy

A cold-hearted, ignorant society

The igniter for my burning soul

Push me further and I will lose control

How shall I rise, if chains keep a hold of me?

How shall I rise

When all hope dies?

Vaster and brighter

Faster and wider

Farther and higher

Another spark will set this world on fire

Did we really stop trying?

I can feel the weight on my back

And all the puppets keep dancing on their strings

Facing a well-known enemy

A cold-blooded, crumbling society

The igniter for my burning soul

Another spark and I will lose control

How shall I rise, if chains keep a hold of me?

How shall I rise

When all hope dies?

I take a step

Into this plastic place

Crawl along its broken spine

This world’s not mine

Nothing’s gonna be the same again

Nothing’s gonna be the same again

The pressure increases

Time’s running out

Action is needed

Or everything will be torn apart

Nothing’s gonna be the same again

Nothing’s gonna be the same again

Nothing’s gonna be the same again
