This album represents Oceana in all respects: it is a real collection of all our songs, starting from those written in 1996 (appropriately rearranged and improved), to get to the most recent ones.
The concept behind The Pattern is the holographic universe (a subject widely covered in quantum physics) and the implications that this philosophy has in relation to our psyche. It is difficult to go back to facing life passively when we realize that we ourselves are the creators of the universe in which we live.

Oceana was born in 1994 from the friendship between Massimiliano Pagliuso and Alessandro “Sancho” Marconcini (to whom Gianpaolo Caprino was added in 1997). The intent was to mix progressive metal elements with European-style death doom. The references, from a musical point of view, range from Edge Of Sanity to Katatonia, from Paradise Lost to Duran Duran, from Metallica to Dream Theater.
