Actually, the whole album, Dethwater isn’t just about sealife, it’s music specifically for fish and isn’t really meant for humans at all. In fact, many fans who listened to it heard the lyrics to the song Go Into The Water and drowned. cite

Here’s a clip of the band playing the song live in the Gulf of Danzig in 2006. Note that the stage and speakers face into the ocean, so the fish can hear it better.
