Nice and quite a novel idea for a list!

In reference to your question #2, I'd like to suggest On Thorns I Lay's album Orama.

Intentionally, it sounds just like it was recorded under and/or nearby water, it's more or less a concept album dealing with themes like Atlantis and underwater life.
Besides, it's a very decent album and a hidden gem of 90's death doom.

Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve. Because they use a mythogical instrument called the "diesel harp" which was a diesel powered guitar connected to a giant water tank, in order to get their guitar sound (it was bollocks of course but their whole mythos is interesting).

Also, the AFoS spin-off band, The Water Witch. Because their name has the word "water" in it if you look closely.

Heavy Water Experiments - Philosopher Queen. Probably my favourite band that no one knows about. The vocals are an acquired taste.

Maybe Incantation, Disma etc. because Craig Pillard honestly looks like he crawled out from the fucking depths of the ocean.

And this, because it was once described as sounding like Blut Aus Nord being played under water.

Graves At Sea maybe

This is a very unique idea.

I need to get on your list + recommendations asap. It's drooling.

Very cool idea for a list.
I don't know what to suggest, maybe Oceansize, a great, often overlooked prog band? We Lost the Sea - some nice post rock.

I'll get back to this.

I really loved this one! So thanks for the recommendation. Added.

Anything by Fungoid Stream coukd go on this list. But especially the Oceanus album.

The first album by A Storm Of Light could also be here

Maybe Marillion - Ocean Cloud... A brilliant epic if you ask me.

Cormorant - Metazoa

Why isn't this on MS. Seems like a cult classic to me.

Dreadnought - A Wake In Sacred Waves maybe? Certainly water-themed

water theme alone doesn't really make the list. My intention was to have music, that sounds like some aspect of water, that creates a mental image of water. Of course water themes can help here (especially since bands then focus on it also sounding water-y), but the theme alone does not qualify.
That said, thanks a lot for the rec, I'll check it out in due time!

Yeah sure thing, I associate the album with water but it's been a while since I listened to it so can't remember how oceanic it sounds

Actually, that comment reminded me, would definitely throw in Isis - Oceanic as well

Yeah actually this one was on the list draft, but I wanted to listen to it in full before including it and I just keep getting distracted by new cool stuff lol

Sulphur Aeon - Swallowed By The Ocean's Tide

Sulphur Aeon - Swallowed By The Ocean's Tide

Cosidered them before, but I'm not sure if they sound more space-y or more ocean-y.

There's a French melodic techdeath band called Atlantis Chronicles (that definitely should be here on MS btw). You should check them out. They go full out on the water theme. First album is called Ten Miles Underwater (the intro track doesn't get more watery than that) and the second Barton's Odyssey. Highly recommended

I see your Slow (USA) and raise you one Slow (BE)

Slow's V - Oceans and Drown's Subaqueous, maybe?

Slow's V - Oceans and Drown's Subaqueous, maybe?

Well I technically already included Drown here and what I heard from the other Slow's output didn't really sound all watery to me but I'd have to listen again.

Radu's review of Drown brought me here. May I suggest this little EP? It has also been very favourably reviewed by yours truly.

Love it. To bits.

Oh, yeah, I love ocean themed metal. Especially Lovecraft influenced.

Check out Dryad for deep-sea terror
