THE GREAT SEA proudly present another song from their upcoming debut album “Noble Art Of Desolation“, set for release on April 25th 2025 via AOP Records.
A visualizer video for the track “Upright In Nothing” is premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/aCdrvG6AM3k
Guitarist SH comments: “The song is about the cold and mystical ecstasy of a dead winter. A’s vocals are as cutting as the guitars, expressing the icy coldness reflected in the lyrics as well. Throwing grapes onto lips of frozen horses…“
As the world turns more modern with every second, THE GREAT SEA tries to hold something dear that seems to fade out: The origin of mankind in its most primordial way, with the burden of aeons on our back.
With the feeling of what once was and a touch of what should never be forgotten they strife through powerful aggression and sentimental bereavement, without repeating what has said so many times before. Through the waters of forgetfulness their debut-record glitters through frost, fallen leaves and the restless waves.
THE GREAT SEA was founded in 2022 by JR (Long Distance Calling) and SH (Ordeal & Plight) with the ambition to create an atmosphere that can keep up with the majesty of the mountains and the horrible depths of the seas, with a glimpse into the never ending darkness that is behind and before us. To give the sound what it deserves, they invited Phil Jonas (Crone, ex-Secrets Of The Moon) and Azathoth (Gràb, ex-Dark Fortress) to leave their mark on this record, creating a connection between this world and spheres that can never be spoken of. Both songs are integrated to the rest of the record with maximum black glue, giving the listener the experience of deep current.
This record is a journey to find yourself rooted back to where mankind belongs: home.
