From Earache Records:
Chicago deathcore heavyweights OCEANO have just finished recording their highly anticipated debut album, DEPTHS, and have posted two brand new tracks on their MySpace page to give you a taste of the brutality to come.
In spite of the flowery promo language, the two new songs are really fun to listen to. If you like OCEANO, you might like the two other bands the members came from. One is From The Grave, a so-so hardcore band. But the second band, Jerome, totally slays.
What’s with the drums on Oceano? They sound a little too overproduced for me. Songs are pretty good, though.
Jerome is good, but their vocalist has a little too much Despised Icon flare for my liking. I agree with the Oceano drums.
i like their claim of being “the most pissed off band on earth”
This is a band that I usually wouldn’t admit to liking, because of how formulaic they are… but, shit I fucking love this. Makes me wish I had subwoofers in my car. Haha.
See: Acacia Strain. (referring to Jerome).
I apologize for this, but I can’t remain quiet on the issue(s). Decent tunes = 300 pts. Black guy in metal band = 600 pts. Guy wearing flops in promo shoot = far too awesome to attribute trivial point system.
drum sound = typical joey drum sound on every metal band
