Season of Mist verkündet stolz die Veröffentlichung von „The Regeneration Itinerary“, dem mit Spannung erwarteten neuen Album der finnischen Symphonic-Black-Metal-Visionäre …AND OCEANS. Das Album erscheint diesen Freitag, den 23. Mai. Die Band verfeinert ihren Sound zu einer filmischen und intellektuellen Reise der Kontraste – wo Philosophie auf Feuer trifft, Chaos sich in Form auflöst und sich Track für Track Transformation entfaltet.

Thirty years into their serpentine career, …AND OCEANS have assembled a body of work that absorbs the band’s entire lineage—from the avant-garde eruptions of A.M.G.O.D. to the majestic fury of Cosmic World Mother. With The Regeneration Itinerary, they synthesize those disparate identities into a seamless whole. From the trance-inducing intensity of opener “Inertiae” to the meditative catharsis of “The Terminal Filter,” the album is a dance of duality: body and spirit, destruction and rebirth, copper and mercury.

Vocalist Mathias Lillmåns channels these metaphysical themes into a labyrinthine narrative, drawing inspiration from alchemical symbolism and the interplay between light and shadow. Guitarists Timo Kontio and Teemu Saari, bassist Pyry Hanski, keyboardist Antti Simonen, and drummer Kauko Kuusisalo further flesh out the vision with layered textures and frenetic precision—anchored by the visceral production of Juho Räihä and the finishing touch of Tore Stjerna’s mix and master at Necromorbus Studio.
