@@CarlosEspinoza-mn2eq there isnt really a solidified reason why he left. Probably some personal stuff. Just wanted to focus on other things that he had been working on. Who knows. But he back!
@@CarlosEspinoza-mn2eq well from memory it was to do with starting a solo project, wanted to go into Pop type music and honestly the band was more than capable which I'm assuming he was aware of Great that he's back missed his vocals
I thought this was the best produced music video when I was 15. I'm 23 now and still think this is the best music video ever. The song slaps too But whoever produced this video needs more recognition.
They own sound? It's not bad, but that gnere of breakdown, scream, cleans, breakdown with slower tempo its the formula of every band right now, they bring nothing new
Roberto Alejandro León Correa People are gonna have similar formulas. But it's a matter of one of their songs coming on and someone saying, "This is sounds like Oceans Ate Alaska!" every time. Rather than originality in song construction.
Jake is such good vocalist after James left for awhile .. but in a way , no one can never replace James … I love both vocalists .. they used their voices in a unique way . 💕
One of the most underrated songs ever. It's still one of my favorite songs and still one of my favorite bands. Its 2021 and I haven't really changed my mind about the band since 2016
They've grown so much since their EP and single. This debut is incredible and everyone is on point: James, Jibs, Adam, Mike, & Chris. Definitely highly anticipated release, overly excited.
You see the thing is, most bands are gig hungry and would jump at any opportunity to be on such a widely known tour. Secondly, going on Warped Tour would definitely help them grow in the U.S. (the most marketable country in the world music wise) and acquire a larger fanbase since they're still relatively unknown.
Easily my favorite band of 2015 so far!! I think The chorus was awesome but the transition was a little forced but other than that another great release!!
The choruses usually seem forced with this band but I think they actually handled it wayyy better in this one. It all flows more than like their last single did and some off their first EP
AjEgerman they dont want to flow, they want to be creative and artistic and go nuts but it sound good while being all over the place because that is more musical than normal metalcore bands
What I love about this video is you get the impression Chris probably only plays half the notes. Then you see a live performance / drum play through and he actually adds another 50% notes on top of the album version.
I feel like this band is sooo underrated. The singer's vocal range is amazing, lyricism is top notch. I've honestly just started getting into them but I'm fuckin hooked.
Album of the year! That accent in the cleans and their technicalities really sets them apart from the norm. And OAA live is amazing, killed it last night in killumbus
+tristan versteeg They did pull it off. Saw them in Vancouver and they played like gods. Screams were so on point that I questioned if it was lipsynced, but clearly wasnt. I cant even believe it
Although I'm not a fan of the high pitched scream and I think the song would be better if he stuck to unclean vocals and the deep below vocals they would lose all of their brutality and identity if James only did cleans its not the point of Oceans!! It's a personal preference obviously and I agree with you to some extent as I don't like the high pitch scream on any band or artist but I still fucking love this song and I can tolerate it and it suits the song and the band for them to lose that wouldn't be right if you get me hahaha
lol, i love the screams. not all people like it but a lot of people do. he does it for more intensity and power to really project the feel of the song.
lol, i love the screams. not all people like it but a lot of people do. he does it for more intensity and power to really project the feel of the song.
I really like this. It's one of those "stick to your roots" songs that has all the metalcore aspects that I love, but it still has a way of standing out and sounding different than everything else. It's not just one big blob of screams and breakdowns, but has a lot of good riffs and vocal changes and such.
Can people stop saying they are fucking copying other bands and that they're "just like" another band you might know Like fucking hell, every band is unique in their own way, so can't everyone just fucking admit the fact that they make amazing music, that would make this world so much easier for everyone here... gosh
There are a lot of great post hardcore bands though, obviously not the PTV and mostly SWS (except SWS's first album is okay i guess) but stuff like dance gavin dance and a lot like birds are great, but if they think this is p-hardcore theyre obviously fucking retarded lol
Chorus has been in my head for days now AND I still can't get over that breakdown, the pits better be insane when they tour the U.S. because I wanna see that!

This vocalist is amazing.
He sounds a lot like the vocalist for In Dying Arms.
***** True. Those highs screams definitely sound similar though.
James Harrison. He's such a nice guy too. Like he is polite and shit XD
+TheOnlyAbomination SMOTHER THE MOTHERS CARCASS IN THE BLOOD OF HER INFANTS \m/
he wont be if he keeps this up
Who's here after James's return?
What was the reason james left in the first place?
@@CarlosEspinoza-mn2eq there isnt really a solidified reason why he left. Probably some personal stuff. Just wanted to focus on other things that he had been working on. Who knows. But he back!
DID U MISS ME WHEN I WEREN'T AROUND?
Meesa
@@CarlosEspinoza-mn2eq well from memory it was to do with starting a solo project, wanted to go into Pop type music and honestly the band was more than capable which I'm assuming he was aware of
Great that he's back missed his vocals
2020 and I still love it
Chorus still gets me every time after all these years
I miss James in OAA so much... looking forward to Livealie though.
This song is a banger
me too, i love it
Why though?
I thought this was the best produced music video when I was 15.
I'm 23 now and still think this is the best music video ever. The song slaps too
But whoever produced this video needs more recognition.
Hard agree, but I think Alpha Wolf - Akudama beats this by a slim margin
You said that because never watched Hollow Bodies from Blessthefall
I love it too
Their singer looks like a kid, but his voice says leviathan. Falling in love with this band.
Ryan Lawrence Their new singer is cool, but I miss James. What do you think about their new vocalist?
Like the Mastodon album or a big creature???
@@xx6edytdwp9xx i could say Jake is good in clean vocal.. But James have a extraordinary vocal chords.. 😂😂😂
James is back
Let's be honest, no one else sounds like them. They have their own sound and I cannot wait until this album comes out!

Roberto Alejandro León Correa People are gonna have similar formulas. But it's a matter of one of their songs coming on and someone saying, "This is sounds like Oceans Ate Alaska!" every time. Rather than originality in song construction.
We Came As Romans musically and Miss May I vocally, this has nothing at all original in it.
LuckyMoniker LOL not even remotely.... wow. Like are you that fucking stupid?
***** Actually they don't. Circle of Contempt has only lows and no cleans
You're not a metal band unless you have at least one music video playing in the rain.
tears dont fall
But the rain will kill us all xP
@@I3rutalI3rian they crash around me
It’s part of the initiation phase. The good ol’ right of passage.
or snow....
Jake is such good vocalist after James left for awhile .. but in a way , no one can never replace James … I love both vocalists .. they used their voices in a unique way . 💕
More vocal range than 80% of bands out there.
Uh no lol
😂
It's really amazing how much they have grown since Clocks.
Did they change vocalists?
+HeyThereI'mSky no it's the same one believe it or not :)
+Jamal Tabbs his cleans just sounded a little different. Haha his screams and growls have improved a shit ton
+HeyThereI'mSky Yeah, he really has come a LONG way, so proud of these guys :)
Jamal Tabbs they were still pretty amazing then. I've always been a huuge fan.
One of the most creative bands around. The vocalist is an absolute beast.
The video editing is truly beautiful.
Indeed.
Aesthetic.
Extremely well done
Always Incredible.
This band is like the combination of all the best metalcore bands we have had till date.
You can find James living in the static here!
Band has always had there own style period. Such a dangerous game to play.
One of the most underrated songs ever. It's still one of my favorite songs and still one of my favorite bands. Its 2021 and I haven't really changed my mind about the band since 2016
Man, I can't tell how mad I am that this vid got just 2.5 mil views after 6 years. This was like a landmark album in progressive metalcore
They've grown so much since their EP and single. This debut is incredible and everyone is on point: James, Jibs, Adam, Mike, & Chris. Definitely highly anticipated release, overly excited.
Really like the oceanic theme of the album! ✌
And the band....
The Amity Affliction uses a lot of ocean references in their past two albums :)
kinda like how In Heart's Wake is an earthy feel, ya know?
Shayne Incinerate Ha
monsterhunter445 muahaha
I met James the other day, he was such a nice guy! I really have a strong feeling they're gonna be on warped tour 2016.
fuckin hope so!
Honestly if they're not, I'm going to rage quit life.
+Leora Ojadi AH ref? Lol if so
They're too good for Warped
You see the thing is, most bands are gig hungry and would jump at any opportunity to be on such a widely known tour. Secondly, going on Warped Tour would definitely help them grow in the U.S. (the most marketable country in the world music wise) and acquire a larger fanbase since they're still relatively unknown.
james is one of the most versatile front men ive even heard. great growler great screamer great yeller and great singer. crazy talent
Easily my favorite band of 2015 so far!! I think The chorus was awesome but the transition was a little forced but other than that another great release!!
Same. They've been my favorite since they first came out. I'm actually on speaking terms with the band
Austin whitehouse cool story bro
The choruses usually seem forced with this band but I think they actually handled it wayyy better in this one. It all flows more than like their last single did and some off their first EP
It definitely flows better than the chorus of Floorboards but it's still amazing I love all of it.
AjEgerman they dont want to flow, they want to be creative and artistic and go nuts but it sound good while being all over the place because that is more musical than normal metalcore bands
Probably one of the best bands out there right now in my opinion. They have their own distinct sound, and their music is just so good.
Just amazing. I don't know what to say. Ocean ate alaska = 10/10. Pure technical and brutal shit, that's it.
bro you should check out rings of saturn, they're fuckin insane
Norhing Lopez I just followed your advice, and listened godless times and sensless massacre. THANK YOU MAN!
Rings of Saturn is my shit, so is this
While Farzana Sleeps They are awesome! Hopefully, there are guys like you and lopez to teach me some about music! :-D
check out Follow the signs, two worlds of design, divergence by Born of Osiris!
This band progressed so much in just a few short years. This album was incredible.
Today this song sounds fresh
one of the most underrated songs of the century
As a first time listener I would concur. This is mental.
Guitar hero live make me discover some great things
same
/r/Metalcore make me discover some great things
Good to know I'm not the only one.
Noé C. this is on guitar hero live?
Law Dawg yes
This Alaskan approves.
*confirmed by another alaskan*
Ironically they are from England, but an AWESOME band none the less
What I love about this video is you get the impression Chris probably only plays half the notes. Then you see a live performance / drum play through and he actually adds another 50% notes on top of the album version.
His range is unbelievable like those screams and growls then beautiful clean vocals right after is amazing
Nothing says breakdown like stomping in puddles...
it would be better if it was baby ducks
+James Woods or just babies.
+Levi Runsick Or babies dressed in duck costumes
Yes just yea
+Panda King Beersy duck fetus.?
Great vocalist, love the switch between different techniques.
Sucks he left
I feel like this band is sooo underrated. The singer's vocal range is amazing, lyricism is top notch. I've honestly just started getting into them but I'm fuckin hooked.
Allen Daigle too bad the vocalist left but I heard the new one is pretty good too!
Leora Ojadi yeah it was actually the old vocalist that left, but yeah this new guy on Lost Isles is 10x better than him anyways imo
Allen Daigle actually I was talking about the guy who was on Lost Isles, James Harrison. He left, and the new guy is Jake Noakes.
Listen to his low growls and high screams. This guy is a sick vocalist.
What I really love about them is that they sound the same Live!
can't wait to see them for the 2nd time this summer!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the greatest metal songs of all time. I am not wrong.
Dudes, 1 million views! Glad to see you guys grow more and more.
Got into them by playing this song in guitar hero live now a dedicated fan hell yeah
They on Guitar Hero live?!
+Gusten Åkerman yes they are
Manuel Josue Sales
Agreed, only heard from them on gh and I think they are amazing. Now just watching all videos on them on TH-cam.
Same that's why I'm here
Love the clean vocal
7 years just like that…. ahhhh
One of the most incredible voices in metal - welcome back James.
Album of the year! That accent in the cleans and their technicalities really sets them apart from the norm. And OAA live is amazing, killed it last night in killumbus
I'm so glad they are signed now! They deserve it! Such a good song!
Awesome break down,LOVe IT 💯❤️💯🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I'm honestly in love with this song. I can't get enough of it.
This would be HARD AS FUCK to play Live
Ikr if they can pull this off live they're fucking amazing :3
They can and it sounds really good seen them about a month ago!
+tristan versteeg They did pull it off. Saw them in Vancouver and they played like gods. Screams were so on point that I questioned if it was lipsynced, but clearly wasnt. I cant even believe it
+ThetaTrolling how were the cleans?
+Zach Ingram cleans were pretty good and on point of course he didn't do all the cleans cause he got winded just like all the other vocalists do.
Lo vuelvo a escuchar de hace mucho tiempo
The drummer is a machine omg
Oceans Ate Alaska has its own style? No dude they have their own genre its that intense
masterpiece. how I love this piece
I like the melodic lead guitar throughout the song
My favorite band and they just keep getting better!
without this singer who was way better.
Murder HeWrote I liked Hikari?
If it wasn't for this band, I would of taken my life by now.. Thank you Oceans. For your lyrics in every song.
この頃のぶっ飛んだ曲作ってるときが一番好きだなあ
2:30 that whole transition was fucking genius....
this is possibly one of the best bands in the past decade
WHY CANT HE SING ALL THE SONGS LIKE AT 1:30 WITHOUT THE SCREAMING HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE
Although I'm not a fan of the high pitched scream and I think the song would be better if he stuck to unclean vocals and the deep below vocals they would lose all of their brutality and identity if James only did cleans its not the point of Oceans!!

Crazy how far they have come. I remeber when they dropped their ep. Havent listened to them since. I missed alot
Saw these guys live and I'm gonna see them again in Toronto! Probably the best I've heard live
I'm really going to need these guys to be on this years Warped Tour.
Same. If they're not, my chances of going are going to be quite slim.
+Nestor Chavez I just seen it. :)
+TobiastheGreat I met them in St. Louis. :)
2021 y aún enamorado de está rolita 💓💪😎
It sucks that the vocalist is leaving but I'm looking forward for their new album ❤
when did they say this?
metal head December 16, check their Facebook page
why is he leaving it seems like a lot of band members have been leaving bands
2023 and I still love it
The power of 432hz always blow my mind... even metalcore stuff
Phenominal work guys, this is definitely going to be my favorite fearless release of 2015 I already know it.
10/10 favorite song on this album
Never was a huge fan of this band. But the screaming, riffs, and clean vocals all mixed together in this is just too good.
because they were original
Crazy to think that this album turns 10 next year
I really like this. It's one of those "stick to your roots" songs that has all the metalcore aspects that I love, but it still has a way of standing out and sounding different than everything else. It's not just one big blob of screams and breakdowns, but has a lot of good riffs and vocal changes and such.
Can people stop saying they are fucking copying other bands and that they're "just like" another band you might know
Like fucking hell, every band is unique in their own way, so can't everyone just fucking admit the fact that they make amazing music, that would make this world so much easier for everyone here... gosh
Pop XD
+Motionless-Chemical-Romance-Day In Reverse • no motionless in white at all sorry. are you talking about creatures? maybe then you have a case.
+Motionless-Chemical-Romance-Day In Reverse • copy Miw? What the fuck? OAA is pure talent then MIW
Congrats on 1M views! Can't wait to see you on Warped Tour in Milwaukee!!
they were dope at milwaukee, such a good performance
James es la escencia de Alaska 👌🏻
Y Chris Turner
the absolute bread and butter of pouring your first cup of coffee, to pouring your cup of spirits before bed ....
Dude his screams. Lows and highs are incredible
Such a unique sound 😱😍
Ikr!!
Excellent tune! My wife hates when I do that at 1:38 lol!
Didn't really notice that until you pointed it out lol xD
the head moving thing? lol i do that all the time when listening to that particular part
Norton Gartino saaame xD
Same. xDD
can we take a moment and realize that this music video is fucking amazing...
January 2022.. and I still hear it.. ❤️❤️❤️
This guy is a vocal acrobat. It's not my typical kind of metal, but I can definitely appreciate the technical skill.
I gotta admit. I love the spontaneous ,schizophrenic rhythms.
Derp McGrahamCracker sets them apart from a lot of other bands styles
Agreed.
What the hell is that vocalist o_o So talented !
James Harrison. He sounds hell of a lot better on this Album than their EP before it.
Ashton Flint he does sound better but I miss his cleans
I said before when Blood Brothers came out and I'll say it again, the crabcore revival is here my friends. HAIL THE REVIVAL.
Drummer is insane in this band. In every song. Props to him
I was able to talk to him along with the singer at Warped Tour, the drummer's been playing for 17 years
wow, first time ever hearing these guys. I've been missing out. Absolutely amazing!
I can't believe main singer left smh. He was the best!
Todo éste álbum desde el inicio hasta el final es perfecto..
Fabián Castaño Gaviria es Impresionante,el album es una maravilla
De lo mejor que escuche nunca. :")
someone said this was post hardcore, i told them they should just stick wtih pierce the veil
There are a lot of great post hardcore bands though, obviously not the PTV and mostly SWS (except SWS's first album is okay i guess) but stuff like dance gavin dance and a lot like birds are great, but if they think this is p-hardcore theyre obviously fucking retarded lol
@@willthornhill7643 Wtf is wrong with PTV and SWS?
I met the lead singer when they played with Blessthefall and he's really humble and super chill. I recommend seeing them.
Chorus has been in my head for days now AND I still can't get over that breakdown, the pits better be insane when they tour the U.S. because I wanna see that!
Into the deep will always be a masterpiece but this is pretty cool.
So dope
Esta cancion me hace volver a mis 16
2021 and I still love it
I just love the dichotomy this band has going.
1:13 I love this shit!
Im not sure if I like this or blood brothers more. If the rest of the album if half as good its still gonna be sick
Best song on guitar hero for years 😁😁
2022 and i still love it
My favorite song. The Vocalist is so talented. Just as good as In dying arms vocalist.
I miss James man. He was the most dope
