After a week of social media teasing, Metalcore kings Being As An Ocean are back! The band is streaming a new single, ‘Play Pretend’, as well as a new Akira inspired video for the track as well. The bands’ new album Proxy: An A.N.I.M.O. The story was created with Grammy-Nominated Producer Zakk Cervini (Blink-182, Halsey). The band has also announced a massive US tour to correspond with the album release. Tickets go on sale July 24th and itinerary is listed below.

The band commented:

‘Proxy: An A.N.I.M.O. Story’ stands as a monumental, year-long labor of love, sculpted and breathed into reality. Its inaugural single’s music video lifts the veil on a vast creative world from which the band has pulled its inspiration and artistic guidance, exposing a narrative, not unlike our own; an existence experienced through the human lens of empathy, suffering, loss, longing, regret, reconciliation, sacrifice, joy, and love.”
