New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Symphonic metal at its finest, Floating Worlds have taken on the challenge of creating a concept album and have executed the task flawlessly with Battleship Oceania.
Celebrating their 21st anniversary as a band, Floating Worlds marry Greek myth with modern day morality. A truly widescreen tempest of guitars, pummelling drums, synths and gymnastically operatic vocals, the music matches the equally thrilling story plot of the album.
The tale begins with the iron fortress, Oceania, setting sail under dubious government orders to intercept a ship full of armed terrorists masquerading as civilian passengers. As the crew suspect, there are no terrorists but the ship is torpedoed anyway, killing all aboard and angering the Gods of the Sea who curse the battleship. Oceania is now indestructible and with supernatural abilities - the hapless crew aboard are doomed to suffer an eternity aboard this floating prison. A chance at salvation is uncovered when it is revealed someone aboard knows rather more about the sinking of the passenger ship than they have said, leaving a battle of wits and Gods to resolve their fates.
From the calming, ethereal sounds of "
Oceania" to the thrashing chaos of "New Mission" to the haunting melodies of "The Curse", Battleship Oceania is a journey in both music and story.
Having successfully toured countries such as Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and most recently Russia, Floating Worlds are cementing their place as one of symphonic metal's most inspiring bands.
