2004 studio album by the Ocean
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fluxion is the debut studio album by German post-metal band the Ocean, released in November 2004 through Make My Day Records. It is the first part of a two-CD project that ended with Aeolian.[4] The two albums were meant to be released together as a double album, but this was cancelled due to financial issues.[1]

Fluxion focuses more on the band's atmospheric and progressive side, including orchestral and electronic elements, whereas Aeolian is more aggressive, focusing on the band's hardcore punk and extreme metal influences.[2][5]
The album was re-released in 2009 with new vocal tracks by then-lead vocalist Mike Pilat.[6]
