Chicago deathcore heavyweights OCEANO entered the studio on October 3rd to begin recording one of the angriest albums ever.
ANDREW MIKHAIL, guitarist for OCEANO – the band who famously had a series of photos BANNED from MySpace for being too gruesome – comments on the band's first week in the studio: “Things have been going great here. Drums are done and we're currently in the process of mixing them, then we begin the rest of the tracking next week. So for now, we're lifting weights, booking tours, and playing N64 while we wait. It's still a little early to give a lot of update, but the album is coming along smoothly and sounding great.”
And just incase you had any doubts about it, MIKHAIL finishes, “We're most definitely shooting for this CD to be one of the heaviest and darkest CDs around!”
DEPTHS, the debut album from OCEANO, is being recorded with producer JOEY STURGIS (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, MY CHILDREN MY BRIDE) at The Foundation Studios in Connersville, Indiana, and will feature artwork from COLIN MARKS (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, ABORTED, WHITECHAPEL).
