R.I.P Oceansize



It was announced in late February this year that prog rock giants Oceansize had parted ways. During the bands 12 years together the band released four albums each to critical acclaim as well as several celebrated E.P's. The band also cemented their reputation from the beginning as a force to be reckoned within a Live setting. Whilst the bands reasons for breaking up remain unclear what has been made clear is that all of those involved will carry on in new projects which is at least some comfort to fans like me.

In the bands twelve years they released many albums that have become very important to me personally. I always admired their ability to avoid compromising their sound or artistic vision in favour of profit and commercial gain.

Rest In Peace
