Chicago deathcore heavyweights, OCEANO were named as one of Alternative Press magazine's 100 Bands You Need To Know In 2011. Distinguished for being one of the heaviest acts on the list, OCEANO's story is a remarkable one which is touched upon in a 1 page feature within the April 2011 issue (in stores now). In it, vocalist, Adam Warren touches upon the changes made before CONTAGION was written, the constant battle for respect out of certain segments of the metal audience and vocal techniques that keep the formidable frontman on his toes over the course of the hundreds of shows that the Billboard charting act plays each year.

OCEANO's feature in the April 2011 issue of Alternative Press magazine is also remarkable for the dark and disturbing photograph that accompanies it. The band is featured amongst rows of dead deer hung in a dank slaughterhouse. The photograph brings the band full circle in some respects, paying homage to the banned MySpace photos that caused an uproar when the band first signed to EARACHE RECORDS.
