Being As An Ocean

A melodic hardcore outfit from Alpine, California, Being as an Ocean combine drifting atmospheres with aggressive outbursts. After emerging in 2011, the band flirted with mainstream success in 2014 with the release of their Billboard-charting sophomore effort, How We Both Wondrously Perish. They continued to refine their visceral post-rock and emotional hardcore sound on subsequent releases, including 2015's Being as an Ocean, 2017's Waiting for Morning to Come, and 2019's Proxy: An A.N.I.M.O. Story. Following a expanded reissue of their 2012 debut, Dear G-D, they delivered their sixth full-length, 2024's Death Can Wait.
