The Ocean's guitarist-composer Robin Staps and drummer Paul Seidel have been breaking down the German post-metal explorers' new album, Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic, track by track, and doing so in a series of videos filmed at the Natural History Museum in Berlin. It's a fitting setting considering that the LP is a paleontologic concept record, the second half of the double-album kicked off by 2017's Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic. Revolver premiered the first clip on release day (September 25th), and we've followed it shortly with part two. Today (October 1st), we've got the final episode: Join the duo within the museum's hallowed halls as they dissect the LP's concluding cuts. Phanerozoic II is out now via Metal Blade Records.
