1.	Prologue 01:14	lyrics	buy track
Long ago, the Empire of Atlantis reigned as the most advanced civilization on Earth, but Poseidon, God of the Sea, grew angry, for they were greedy and polluted the ocean which had given them life. So Poseidon flooded the empire, destroying all they had built. But the central city of Atlantis was saved at the last moment, preserved under the sea, hidden from Poseidon's wrath. Now, a group of explorers seek to find the lost city and discover the secrets of the Ocean deep.
2.	Descent into the Deep 03:48	lyrics	buy track
In the ocean deep beneath me Lie Creatures fiercer than fear The great force of the deep sea Beckons brave to come near Deeper we go Deeper we go Deeper we go Down through dark water we sail Knowing we cannot fail Now our lives hang in jeopardy As we soar down through the sea Through the sea Through the sea Through the sea
3.	Poseidon: Monarch of the Sea 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Insignificant fools You pollute and corrupt Fulfill your hungry greed Your final end has come I will Balance the Earth I am Poseidon, Monarch of the Sea Heed my demand: you will bow before me You have lived long enough Total cleanse, wash away Cities flood with my might Blue planet covered whole No escape, drown it all Destruction of your human world awaits The sea will consume all, this is your fate
4.	The Flood 08:52	lyrics	buy track
Ocean grumbles with power Gargantuan waves tower Poseidon's might on display Humanity in dismay Ocean waves assault the Earth Human life holds no more worth Civilization chaos Whole continents betray us I am the ocean, the beautiful sea My lord Poseidon sends doom unto thee Waves wipe blank the slate of humanity Plunge the land into ocean entirely ------------------------------------------------ Now we all mourn for our loss Knowing it came at great cost Hopelessness does not prevail Further through life we will sail Earth will never be the same We come together Our lives we tether Through the dark storm, We will come home
5.	Journey to Atlantis 09:21	lyrics	buy track
Summon Leviathan Summon Leviathan Summon Leviathan Summon Summon Leviathan Journey to Atlantis Humanity's last hope Our chances evanesce To safety we elope - THIS will not be over quickly, YOU will not enjoy this, I am not your king, I'm the vessel of your atonement If you're hearing this it's too late for you to repent Hubristic, you raped the world now it laughs upon your descent - Concocted borders lead to wars to keep order, Gift of water used for torture, waterboards with no quarter Quarter nickel and penny hoarders Aim their swords at reporters Sway supporters with what's recorded, that's a stroll into Mordor - Fuck that shit, no more! Fuck all the drama, political scams Death in the name of the gods you thought you were bigger than, Leftover pieces for all the creatures to nibble at Waste at the floor of the ocean will bear resemblance - This isn't Neverland, you were never the innocent No this is never land, only deep blue expanse! Coming endeavors, cold and wetter, drag you under the sea Screaming in terror ends your era, drag you under the sea Won't you feel clever, chained and fettered, drag you under the sea Everything's better, bodies severed, drag you under the sea Crushed in the nether by the pressure, drag you under the sea Pain and displeasure, your forever, drag you under the sea -This is the end of your story, the END of invasion, the END of your quarry, the END of pollution and rape for which you give yourselves glory the END of man and there will BE no one mourning The end of days and there will be no more morning, this is your last night - And may the eyes of leviathan be your last sight While that human ego tries to muster up a last fight As you sink to the terminus of your crash site Scream while the oxygen leave your lungs like some bagpipes -Coming endeavors, cold and wetter, drag you under the sea Screaming in terror ends your era, drag you under the sea Won't you feel clever, chained and fettered, drag you under the sea Everything's better, bodies severed, drag you under the sea Crushed in the nether by the pressure, drag you under the sea Pain and displeasure, your forever, drag you under the sea I smell your fear, I taste your tears you try to run, try to flee What's this I see? You seek your pardon, ask the gods set you free Exercises in futile contact when you beg and you plea Divine ears abandoned your race and now you answer to me We've arrived at the caves of Atlantis We are safe from Poseidon's wrath Many men lost to the Leviathan Still a there's a long journey ahead of us Ruined columns line our way Evidence of Atlantis grows We can feel how close we are getting Anticipation grows with every second We've arrived to Atlantis Humanity last hope Our lives, we'll not miss To safety we'll elope

about

Oceanic is a concept album about a group of explorers who journey through the sea and encounter Poseidon, who has been angered by humanity. Poseidon floods the Earth and the explorers seek out the lost city of Atlantis as a safe haven.

"I made this album as a follow up piece to Celestial. I used the same style of production and performance, but instead of having a different theme for each song, I went with a singular story that advances throughout the album. I used electric and acoustic violin as the instrument for the album as well as custom drum tracks, samples, and vocals. I also went back to my friend Max Pitchkites for the album artwork, which I think fits the music very well, as he is quite the talented painter. Overall, I believe this is my best work of music so far and I am immensely proud of it. I hope you enjoy it!"

Alternative Electric Violin Music

I'm a violin player and have been since 2006. Only recently have I started to make my own music though. My love of progressive metal music has pushed me to make my own, though with an electric violin instead of a guitar. ... more
