OCEANO - BLOODY NEW PHOTOS BANNED FROM MYSPACE

One of EARACHE's newest signings, the heaviest, most pissed-off deathcore
band in the world, OCEANO, recently posted up a number of pictures onto
MySpace which were promptly removed by site administrators for being "too
violent".

Under MySpace rules and regulations, "images of violence are prohibited" on
the popular social networking site. This led to the photos being taken down
"within a half hour" according to OCEANO guitarist Andrew Mikhail. "They
even took them off our personal profiles. Guess they were too raunchy after
all."

The pictures in question from a recent OCEANO photo shoot hit every measure
of violence imaginable, both simulated and real."On a scale of 1 to 10, we'd
say it was about a 6 on the blood scale." says Mikhail. "We knew how bloody
it was already, but we told the photographer we wanted more. You could never
have enough blood." The models used in the photographs even contributed to
the raw physicality captured in the graphic photos. "These girls were
hardcore" says the imposing OCEANO guitarist. "One of the models kept
telling us stuff like "pull my hair" and "choke me like you wanna fuck me!"
It really made things easier for all of us to get in the spirit of
things...other than the studio smelling of rotten meat."
