OCEANO HITS NUMBER 40 ON ITUNES OVERALL ROCK CHART

OCEANO HITS NUMBER 40 ON ITUNES OVERALL ROCK CHART

OCEANO's brand new sophomore album CONTAGION is making huge strides less than a week into release. Due to a combination of fan fervor, a $7.99 value price point and a bonus demo track that can't be found anywhere else, the album has risen through the ranks on iTunes' overall rock chart. Earlier this afternoon, CONTAGION's peak rank was charted at 40 (as seen in this picture: http://earacherecords.com/myspace/contagion_itunesrockchart.jpg). OCEANO's new release was positioned next to such noted bands as LED ZEPPELIN, STONE SOUR and GWAR. With a continued buzz on the album and a string of sold out shows to promote it across the country, there's no telling how high OCEANO's final peak charting will go.

OCEANO's highly anticipated sophomore release, CONTAGION is now out in North America. 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.

OCEANO have debuted their newest video for the CONTAGION track, "Weaponized." This is the band's first video from their new release and it was directed by Kevin J. 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.
