Album Review: Being As An Ocean - Being As An Ocean

With their third album, Being As An Ocean have cemented themselves as melodic hardcore royalty.

Joel Quartuccio’s vocals shift between the raw and emotionally uplifting, recounting stories that delve into his constant attempt to explain his morals and beliefs through a mixture of clean, screamed and softly-spoken lyrics. The album opens with Little Richie, explaining his pastor friend’s life struggles, a reoccurring theme. Across the album gems like St Peter, Forgetting Is Forgiving The I and Sins Of The Father show off their signature spoken vocals with complementary drums.
