OCEANO'S "WEAPONIZED" MAKES NORTH AMERICAN TV DEBUT ON TONIGHT'S MTV HEADBANGERS BALL

OCEANO's brand new video for the song "Weaponized" will make its North American TV debut tonight on tonight's edition of MTV Headbangers Ball. "Weaponized" is the band's first video from their new release, CONTAGION 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. Watch "Weaponized" along with another EARACHE favorite, MUNICIPAL WASTE's "Sadistic Magician" on MTV Headbangers Ball tonight at 3 AM EST/PST.

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.

Buy CONTAGION along with several special mercy packs at the EARACHE US WEBSTORE: http://earache.com/uswebstore/index.php/cPath/667_672_698
