Aeolian (album)

Aeolian is the second studio album by German post-metal band the Ocean. It was released on 7 March 2006 through Metal Blade Records.

About

Aeolian is the second part of a two-CD project that started with Fluxion. Whereas Fluxion had a focus on atmosphere and orchestral sounds, Aeolian focuses more on the band's hardcore and metal influences. The two albums were originally intended to be released together as a double CD, but this was cancelled due to financial reasons.

An animated music video was created for the song "One with the Ocean".
