With the release of OCEANO's highly anticipated debut album, DEPTHS just over a week away, the buzz on Chicago's deathcore heavyweights is amping up considerably. Already a #1 death metal act on MySpace, the band reached a #4 position on Last.FM's "Hype List" last week. Upping the ante on those two achievements, however, the band has now amassed an even more monumental one for a band as young and extreme as theirs by being featured in the pages of the most respected trade magazine in the music industry, Billboard.
OCEANO appears in the magazine's spotlight for artists on the rise. It is a section called "Happening Now." In the sizable piece, Billboardwriter Christa Titus explores the circumstances surrounding OCEANO becoming one of the most hotly buzzed young metal bands today. The feature also includes quotes from OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail and EARACHE U.S. Label Manager, Al Dawson who go beyond the hype and prove that beneath the angry exterior lies a hard working and extremely talented band who've earned every bit of buzz that has followed them.
OCEANO's "Happening Now" feature can be seen in this week's (April 4th) edition of Billboard and can be found on newsstands now. You can also read the feature in full here: http://earache.com/archive/oceano/Billboard_Apr409_HappeningNow.jpg
OCEANO's official MySpace page was recently relaunched with a brand
new design, brand new videos, links, photos and more. See it for
yourself at http://www.myspace.com/xoceano
Due to be released on April 7th, the limited edition version of
OCEANO's debut album, DEPTHS features 13 of the heaviest, chunkiest
cuts of no holds barred metal you'll ever hear, plus 2 exclusive bonus
tracks and the "Into The Depths" DVD which includes a look into the
lives of OCEANO both in and out of the studio.
