THE OCEAN have posted a brand new tour documentary from their 2013 Pelagial World Tour.

With quality similar to their recently released Collective Oblivion triple DVD, this documentary follows the band through The Summer Slaughter Tour, Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Russia. It's truly an in depth look into what it's like to tour on a worldwide scale as an underground metal band; and it's only the first of two parts! View part one below:

In just under a month, The Ocean will be returning to North America for the first time since last year's Summer Slaughter takeover. The journey will commence on March 5th in Seattle, include two performances in Austin, Texas at SXSW and finds the band co-headlining with Prosthetic Recording artists SCALE THE SUMMIT. Additional support will be provided by special guests THE ATLAS MOTH and SILVER SNAKES.

The tour welcomes new The Ocean recruits, drummer Paul Seidel and guitarist Damian Murdoch, who replace Luc Hess and Jona Nido, both of whom departed the band on mutual terms late last year. Two live videos have been made available from The Summer Slaughter Tour stop at the Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Fans can watch 'Demersal: Cognitive Dissonance' (featuring guest vocals from CJ of THY ART IS MURDER) below:

Comments The Ocean founding guitarist Robin Staps: "Summer Slaughter was the final US tour for Luc and Jona. These clips bring back good memories of our last Summer together and a lot of crazy parties in parking lots across the country. Now I'm really looking forward to getting back to the US with our new guys. We've started rehearsing for our upcoming tours this week, and there's a really good vibe in the room. We're hungry to get out again, we've only been home for two months now but it already feels too long."
