The ,centrics"-albums saw the introduction of current vocalist Loïc
Rossetti to the band's lineup, a game changer in their 17 years
history. ,Anthropocentric" is heavier than its same-year predecessor
,Heliocentric", with the crushing 15-minutes openening track duality
,The Grand Inquisitor" part I and II and following track ,She Was The
Universe", one of the most-streamed THE OCEAN tracks to date,
setting the bar high for the rest of the album. Conceptually,
,Heliocentric" and ,Anthropocentric" are a comprehensive critique of
the legacy of christianity: While ,Heliocentric" approaches the topic
in a historical-chronological way, the main focus of ,Anthropocentric"
is the ,Grand Inquisitor"-chapter in Dostoyevsky's world-famous
novel ,The Brothers Karamazov", spread out over 3 tracks of the
album. Other songs like the serene ,The Almightiness Contradiction"
take up ideas by Richard Dawkins, the spearhead of modern day's
aetheism. Since 2001, the Berlin-based musician collective THE
OCEAN have released 7 critically acclaimed studio albums, and a split
EP with Japanese post-rock legends Mono.
