“Oceanic” is a 2002 album by ISIS, released via Ipecac Recordings, the label founded by Mike Patton, expanding the band’s fusion of sludge metal, ambient structures and progressive heaviness into a landmark mutation of extreme music language that helped define the foundations of post-metal in the early 2000s.
After two co-headling tours over the past decade, (the) Melvins are continuing their long tradition with us of teaming up with another band on an album.
The Director’s Cut is the second album by experimental metal supergroup Fantômas, turning classic horror and TV themes into chaotic, genre‑bending noise where Mike Patton’s voice, Dave Lombardo’s drums, Buzz Osborne’s guitar and Trevor Dunn’s bass collide in unpredictable, cinematic madness.
