The OceanCollective deals with climate change on 'Permian: The Great Dying'
Weighing in at more than nine minutes, the Ocean Collective's view for "Permian: The Great Dying," premiering exclusively below, is as epic as the roiling, dynamic track it represents -- and has a great deal to say.
Named after one of five mass extinction events during the Phanerozoic Eon, "Permian" reflects on an episode roughly 250 million years ago when 75 percent of all terrestrial fauna and 95 percent of all marine life on Earth became extinct -- possibly due to global warming from volcanic activity that raised the planet's temperature and led to the release of fatal doses of methane gas. .
Both aspects of the song are represented in the "Permian" video, directed by Craig Murray, who also helmed the clip for the album's previous video, "Cambrian: Eternal Recurrence." "We all agreed that we wanted this clip to look different," Staps says of the video, filmed mostly in India and Indonesia and featuring Ocean Collective singer Loic Rossetti along with nearly enough insect life and sea footage to populate the National Geographic channel.
The video also plants the Ocean Collective's flag in the climate change debate, and Staps feels that even though humans weren't around for the Phanerozoic, "I don't see any reason to assume that the results of the current man-made global warming would be any less devastating.
Staps and the Ocean Collective will be spreading the word with its Siberian Traps Tour, which starts in September and will visit Europe, Russia and Japan. The group will tour Europe again with Leprous in November and is eyeballing U.S. dates in 2020, but with "nothing confirmed yet" according to the guitarist.
