OCEANO: Debut Album Title Announced

September 9, 2008

Chicago, Illinois deathcore act OCEANO has set "Depths" as the title of its debut album, due in early 2009 via Earache Records. The CD will be recorded in October at The Foundation Studios in Connersville, Indiana with producer Joey Sturgis (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, MY CHILDREN MY BRIDE).

Commenting on the album title, OCEANO guitarist Andrew Mikhail said, "It means many things to us and can mean many things to others. It could relate to hell, oceans, heaviness or a ton of other stuff. We just thought that when you hear our music, there's an everlasting association between us and all sorts of different types of depths out there. Whether it be emotional, physical or whatever else, the connection is unmistakable."

"Depths" will contain 13 tracks (15 in Japan) of the angriest deathcore cuts ever committed on record alongside a limited-edition bonus DVD.

With a reputation for being a highly aggressive and dangerous live act, OCEANO guitarist Andrew Mikhail promises to bring all the anger that the band possesses on stage into the studio and capture it for all time when making the group's album. "We're gonna turn our anger up a few notches for this record," he says. "If that means we have to throw chairs at the mixing booth glass and tear the studio to bits to get us there — so be it."

Alongside songs that have long been a part of OCEANO's set — like "Samael The Destroyer" and "Inhuman Affliction" — the band plans to record many new tracks that will surely smash the very limits of what "heavy" is. According to Mikhail, "There's a lot more going on musically with the new material." The imposing OCEANO guitarist promises that new cuts like 'Disgust For Your Kind' will be "faster, darker and a hell of a lot more heavy." Most importantly, he states that everything will "stay true to the OCEANO sound."
