Oceano’s unforgiving latest album Revelation will not sway you if the band’s low end heavy brutal death core with utterly guttural vocals and random technical and rhythmic flourishes is too much for you. Personally, I think this new record is their finest yet and shows the band adding more consistent heft to past albums that had moments but often some filler tracks as well. Decide for yourself below and slam your neighbors today.

Oceano have released a new room destroyer of a song entitled “The Great Tribulation”, one of their most intense tracks to date. Old school death metal fans will perhaps appreciate the faster drumming parts on this song interspersed with the atmosphere enhanced techy deathcore parts. I for one could do without the colder background sounds as a lot of bands are doing that lately along with the glitchy rhythmic breaking apart thing employed a few times, but the straight death parts wail. Anyone who appreciates, say, Chris Barnes style death gurgles should like Adam Warren’s style on this, a fairly old school approach to a mostly new school sound. I’d honestly like to hear him front some straight up early 90’s sounding Cannibal throwback type stuff himself sometime.
Anyhow, this new song is from latest album Revelation. It is crazy to think that they are on album five already. Feels like Depths just came out! Time flies.

Adam Warren and the boys in much appreciated Midwest death core band Oceano are returning with their first new album from 2013 with new record Ascendants. Re-touching on the origin of the ideas in Contagion, the record is not a linear storyline from that record but “we did follow a general cohesive theme,” says Warren. Pre-Order this bad boy HERE.
Tracked by producer Nick Nativo (MONSTERS), the record deals with Adam’s ideas on many topics such as humans coming from more than what society and religion tells us. The general theme seems to be that we are the Children of Gods and have higher essence in our DNA but have forgotten. It’s pretty cool. I for one am stoked for this. Hear Adam talk about it in depth BELOW!

Greetings cretins. I got a chance to have a very informative conversation with Oceano‘s guitarist Nick Conser and drummer Chason Westmoreland. We spoke about their ever changing personnel and the challenges that lie within and why they are the hardest working metal band of normal guys out there. I got some very candid responses and I am very pleased with the outcome of this interview. Not to mention, they then took the stage and absolutely killed it at The Studio at Webster Hall.

Commencing at the end of March, death metal heavyweights Carnifex and Oceano set out for a massive 32 date tour across the States and dipping into Canada.

We know we have to top “Hell Chose Me” and were NOT letting you down! Heavier, darker and more pissed in every way. We will be posting a video blog updating you on everything we have going on soon. Stay sick \m/.” “Hell Chose Me” was released February 16th, 2010 on Victory Records.

Blues punks The Bobby Lees (Sam Quartin , Kendall Wind , Macky Bowman, Nick Casa) have been tearing it up on stages in Upstate, NY and around the country. While you may recognize Quartin from movie roles like the (forthcoming) Run With The Hunted and Let Me Make You A Martyr , this band is not a novelty project but a full fledged rock n rollercoaster. They totally scorch the stage with a howling sense of purpose and poetic sting, capturing a primal and at times even fun energy on Beauty Pageant . Feral animals and ghosts hiding in the trees agree that this band is the shit. This record and group truly deserve to be heard, so head to their Bandcamp and blast "Deem Em Dead" now. You can say you knew 'em when.
