OCEANO - DEPTHS ARRIVES TOMORROW IN NORTH AMERICA

Since mid-2008 OCEANO has run the gamut from ire to misfortune, to
excitement and back again. Stories of gory photos, lineup changes and
vanflips have become the foundation which have catapulted the 5
Chicago deathcore heavyweights to the top of the MySpace death metal
charts, high debuts on national radio charts and last but not least,
Billboard magazine. Tomorrow, April 7th is the time when everything
comes together. It is the day when their debut album, DEPTHS finally
hits North American stores.

DEPTHS is an album that hits hard from track 1 to track 15. Featuring
the hit single, "District of Misery," alongside such bone crushing
songs like "Samael the Destroyer," "Plague Campaign" and the cult
favorite instrumental, "Depths," this is one album that does not let
up. Even the "Into The Depths" bonus DVD is filled with so much raw
intensity that you will have to destroy whatever is in sight. It's
been called "the angriest, most pissed off deathcore album on the
planet" for good reason and you can finally experience what its all
about tomorrow.

Here's what the press have said about DEPTHS:

"OCEANO's mysteriously brutish grace will prove impossible to resist."
- All Music Guide

"DEPTHS is unsparing in its attack." - 3.5 Stars - Revolver

"Their debut, DEPTHS earns its name." - Decibel

"Explodes with cookie-monster vocals, meatgrinding riffs and more
breakdowns than you can shake a fist at." - Guitar World

MTV Headbangers Ball premiered the video for razor sharp single,
"District of Misery" over the weekend. Watch the video at http://headbangersblog.mtv.com/2009/04/03/video-premiere-oceano-enter-district-of-misery/
, then spread it to your friends by using the site's embedded player.

Shot last month in Los Angeles, CA, "District of Misery" was directed
by Patrick Guera (DIFFICULT HENRY, HARD ECHO) and produced by Brian
Thompson at The Vault LA (MUNICIPAL WASTE, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AS I LAY
DYING), the video was shot in a converted LA warehouse and will see
OCEANO playing the song alongside a twisted photographic
interpretation of each lyrical line as it is growled.

In the April 4th edition of Billboard magazine, OCEANO was featured in
the "Happening Now" section devoted to artists on the rise. In the
sizable piece, Billboard writer Christa Titus explored 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.
