Oceano is an American deathcore band from Cook County, Illinois. Formed in 2006, the band signed to Earache Records and released their debut album, Depths, on April 7, 2009. Their second album, Contagion, was released on November 9, 2010. Their fourth album Ascendants was released March 23, 2015. Their most recent album Revelation was released on May 19, 2017. It was their first release with their new label, Sumerian Records. Their upcoming sixth studio album, Living Chaos is due to be released on August 30, 2024.

Following the departure of lead guitarist Jeremy Carroll in 2009, the band no longer had any of its original members. Vocalist Adam Warren is the longest tenured member of the band, having been with Oceano since joining in 2007.

History

Upon its formation in early 2006, Oceano was originally a four-piece band formed by Jeremy Carroll, which consisted of Carroll on guitar, Jeff Erickson on bass, Derek Hildreth on drums and Eddie Harris on vocals.[2] Oceano went through a revolving cast of players until settling on a new lineup and a new sound in 2007. That lineup, consisting of Adam Warren on vocals, Andrew Mikhail on rhythm guitar, Michael Southcomb on drums and Kevin Hare on bass, went on to develop the sound they took to the world in their first recordings.

Oceano recorded their full debut album Depths in late 2008, releasing it on April 7, 2009 through Earache records.

Jeremy Carroll was fired from the band in January 2009 due to personality conflicts between members.[3][4] Carroll's leaving left no original members from the original Oceano lineup in the band. On February 3, 2010, Andrew Mikhail also departed from the band.[5][6][7]

Oceano was a part of the 2011 Summer Slaughter Tour in North America alongside co-headliners Whitechapel and The Black Dahlia Murder.

In January 2012, a rumor spread that the band was disestablishing, which was confirmed as false by Earache. Instead, an announcement was made that the band actually was going on a short hiatus after their performance at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival due to vocalist, Adam Warren, becoming a father.[8] After some time spent away from the band, however, Oceano decided not to disband, and to continue touring. Prior to performing as a part of the roster for the US summer Scream It Like You Mean it tour they revealed that they had begun writing their next album, Incisions, due in 2013.[9] The first lyric video from the album, "Slow Murder", was released on January 28, 2013. On January 12, 2015, the band released a new song titled "Dead Planet" from their fourth album Ascendants which was released on March 23 from Earache Records.[10] On February 17, 2017, the band announced via Facebook that they had signed over to Sumerian Records. They released their fifth album, Revelation, on May 19.[11]

On August 17, 2022, Oceano released a single titled "Mass Produced", their first new song since 2017.[12]

In early 2024, the band announced a 15th anniversary tour for Depths with support from Within the Ruins, I Declare War and By The Thousands,[13] the band would also recruit Alex Nourse (who has previously worked with Worm Shepherd) as a touring drummer to replace Matt Kohanowski who left in 2022.[14]

On June 6, 2024, Oceano released another new single titled "Wounds Never Healed", along with the announcement that this single and Mass Produced will be in the upcoming sixth studio album, Living Chaos which will be released on August 30, 2024.[15] Another tour was announced that will take place in late 2024 for the new album with support from To The Grave, Half Me and VCTMS.[16] Another new single from the upcoming album titled "The Price of Pain" was released on July 11, 2024.[17]

Musical style and lyrics

Oceano is a deathcore band, a mixture of the genres metalcore, hardcore, and death metal. They also (particularly in their earliest material) had a slight influence from grindcore. Blast beats, sonic double bass, slow heavy breakdowns and low death metal growls and occasionally the shrieked vocals typical in metalcore are present. The lyrics range from anti-religion to misanthropy. The band has been inspired by acts like Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Behemoth, The Acacia Strain, Deicide, Hatebreed, Suicide Silence, Meshuggah, and Slayer.
