General information about the band: Banda
native Manchester, England, formed in 1998. His style and influences are eclectic, so it came to be categorized as one of Progressive Rock, Space Rock or Post-Rock. Disintegrated in February 2011, with 4 LP's and 5 Ep's in his discography. Recommendation 
Label:
The boundaries between the metal and other genres of rock are usually quite flexible. For decades, various metal bands have been transferred to territories that could be typecast into other musical styles. Also, some bands are introduced to the heavier sounds taking as an origin other aesthetic fields. Today we dedicate our weekly recommendation to a band, being included within the modern progressive rock, not afraid to enter the metal significantly, achieving a sound that can not be overlooked. We speak of the British Oceansize, from the city of Manchester, and specifically from his album "Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up," which is our recommendation label of the week. Oceansize
was formed in 1998. After some EP's, released their first full length album in 2003. 7 years later, in September 2010, released their fourth album, which, without being so planned and became his last album, since barely a few weeks ago the group announced their separation. This album represents an exploration into the heavier side of the band, who had developed a style that mixed progressive rock in various facets of their contemporary, also called "New Prog", "Space Rock" or "Post Rock". So this is not a metal band again, but musicians who experimented with heavy sounds and avant-garde in the metal.
"Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up" contains 11 songs and lasts just over 55 minutes. In 5 of these songs, the heavy sound is clearly present in the other 6, more atmospheric sound and light prevails, explaining the origin of the band's sound. However, the distorted guitars are not always present is something you can enjoy a lot, something that bands like Opeth, Tiamat, Amorphis, Katatonia, Anathema and The Gathering well understood. So if the style of those groups you like, it will be a band Oceansize quite pleasant to hear.
As the album has songs as heavy as those more experimental, I recommend the best examples of each of these facets. On the lighter side, "Pine", "A penny's weight" and "Ransoms" are good examples of the depth can reach Oceansize, creating feelings that only the good Rock atmospheric achieved in the listener. On the strong side, the song that opens the album "Part cardiac" will give you an idea about the heaviness that the group can achieve, but do not keep the first impression, since the sound "stoner" of this track is not presented in "Build us a rocket then", another of the harder songs, or "It's my tale and I chase it if I want to."
