As with all of The Ocean's releases, the music is only one piece of the puzzle. The collective has always been known for lyrics that are poignant and thought-provoking, and Phanerozoic is no exception. The central idea upon which the lyrics are premised is that of 'eternal recurrence', "Nietzsche's concept that everything happens over and over again, an infinite amount of times throughout infinite time and space", Staps explains. "When you look at Earth's history you find a lot of evidence for this: continents have collided and drifted apart across the oceans and collided again, life nearly disappeared various times but then resurged again… this album is essentially about time, perception of time, and repetition. It is about coming to terms with the fact that there are things in life which will recur and which we cannot change and finding ways of dealing with that".

Berlin-based the Ocean Collective (also known as the Ocean), is a forward-thinking extreme music ensemble led by founder, guitarist, composer, and conceptualist Robin Staps. Their sound is a hybrid comprised of progressive, atmospheric sludge, doom metal, and post-hardcore. Almost all of their music is conceptual, obsessed with geologic, pre-historic, and philosophical themes -- sonically, much of it is ferocious in execution, weaving organic and electronic sounds and samples. With an ever-changing lineup of various on-and-offstage musicians and visual artists, the relentlessly touring group have become well-known for their immense, mind-expanding live shows. Since 2005, their releases have been issued by Metal Blade in the U.S. and their own Pelagic label in Europe. Their best-known offering, 2007's Precambrian, is musically brutal and intellectually brainy; its songs are steeped in arcane and scientific knowledge of the earth's geology.
The Ocean entered the studio in February of 2018 and began recording the two-part Phanerozoic. Based on the eon that succeeded the Precambrian supereon and spanning a 500-million-year period leading to the present day; it witnessed the evolution and diversification of plant and animal life on Earth, and the partial destruction of it during five mass extinction events. Conceptually and musically, the double-length Phanerozoic marked the band's first look back; it is the missing link between the albums Precambrian and Heliocentric/Anthropocentric, and was designed to be released over two different years. Recorded and mixed by Jens Bogren, the set's first single, "Devonian," also featured Katatonia's Jonas Renkse on lead vocals. Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic was issued in November of 2018, with the second part due in early 2020.
