OCEANO - "CONTAGION" COMES OUT IN NORTH AMERICA TOMORROW

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
05. The Contaminated
06. Exist In Confinement
