OCEANO's highly anticipated sophomore release, CONTAGION comes out in North America tomorrow. Produced by Zeuss (MUNICIPAL WASTE, THE ACACIA STRAIN, HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), the new album is about a government-born virus that becomes an epidemic and spreads chaos amongst the population. CONTAGION is a major step forward for OCEANO. Their signature breakdowns and inhuman heaviness is still intact, but the band's traditional death metal influence now shines through more than ever, leading to a stronger melding of old school and modern extremities.
TheNewReview.net calls CONTAGION "Forty-minutes of unabridged pissed-off decimation that's as unstoppable as a hurricane."
Decibel magazine says "The songs are a push forward."
Metal Army America says "The band has not succumbed to the sophomore slump that is so prevalent in today's scene."

01. Precursor To Enslavement
02. Viral Re-Animation
03. Regulated Disposal Of Life
04. Quarantine

Custer (TESTAMENT, HATEBREED, TOMBS). The video features explosive performance footage of the Chicago deathcore heavyweights acting as a counterpoint to a high tension situation that builds throughout the video.
