The Ocean
Holocene

Holocene marks the conclusion of the band's paleontology series that began with 2018's Phanerozoic I: Paleozoic and continued with 2020's Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic / Cenozoic. Always planned as a trilogy, its thematic approach charts earth's epochs in geological time. The Holocene is, thus far, the most recent (and shortest) epoch, marking humanity's appearance. Normally, composing tracks began with guitarist Robin Staps creating a riff, drum beat, or vocal line. Here, core musical ideas were initially generated by keyboardist/synthesist Peter Voigtmann during the COVID-19 quarantine. He sent raw demos to Staps, who was impressed that they resonated with the Ocean's musical persona, and added guitars before developing them with the band in 2022. The Ocean made a change behind the mixing desk by enlisting veteran engineer Karl Daniel Liden, who also mastered the album.
