1) Oceano is an American deathcore band from Chicago, IL, formed in 2006. The band signed to Earache Records and released their debut album, Depths on April 7, 2009. Their second album, Contagion was released on November 9, 2010.
In 2012, a rumor passed that Oceano would be breaking up, but it was confirmed that the band is staying together and will be releasing a third full-length album in 2013.

Upon its formation in 2006, the band then featured 6 members and performed at local venues in the Chicago area. Their most prominent song then was "Candyman".
Carrol gathered Chicago guitarist Andrew Mikhail, vocalist Adam Warren, drummer Michael Southcomb and bassist Kevin Hare to form Oceano's first full line-up in 2007. After a year, Southcomb and Hare parted ways with the band. They were soon replaced by drummer Daniel Terchin and bassist Jason Jones. Oceano signed to Earache Records in 2008 after gaining a notable local following. Oceano recorded their full debut album Depths in late 2008, releasing it worldwide on April 20, 2009.

Jeremy Carrol was fired from the band in January 2009 due to personality conflicts between members. On February 3, 2010 their lead guitarist, Andrew Mikhail, departed from the band.
Oceano was a part of the 2011 Summer Slaughter Tour in North America alongside co-headliners Whitechapel and The Black Dahlia Murder.

In January of 2012, a rumor spread that the band was disestablishing, which was confirmed as false by Earache. Instead, an announcement was made that the band is actually going on a short hiatus after their performance at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival due to vocalist, Adam Warren, becoming a father. After some time spent away from the band, however, Oceano decided not to disband, and to continue touring. They also revealed that they had begun writing their next album, due by early 2013.

Fractured Frames Scattered Flesh
Oceano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As the atmos- atmosphere gradually continues to dissipate an invisible pressure increases in irregular strength. Soon this worl shall crumble beneath its own foundation. A neglected stronghold of protection has been penetrated. Who shall we place the blame? You're held responsible for your own end. Implemented by ignorance, provoke by your arrogance. Do not attempt to kneel or repent. You've earned this punishment. Slowly oxygen escapes from your diaphragm. You had your chance and you did not listen. Upon the population gravity unleashes its overbearing weight. Your fragile spines instantancously crused. Crowds reduced to fractured frames, scattered flesh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Oceano's song "Fractured Frames Scattered Flesh" are indicative of a truly dystopian world where the atmosphere is gradually dissipating, and an invisible pressure increases in irregular strength. The imagery of the world slowly crumbling beneath its own foundation is hauntingly vivid. The idea of a neglected stronghold of protection being penetrated is powerful, and it’s not clear who is to blame. The lyrics then take a more accusatory tone towards the listener, declaring that they are held responsible for their own end, because their downfall is a product of ignorance and arrogance.

The lyrics seem to suggest that the listener had a chance to avert the disaster but didn't take it seriously, and now it's too late for repentance. The punishment for their inaction is brutal and slow, with oxygen escaping from their diaphragm. The punishment is further extended to include the population, as gravity unleashes its overbearing weight, instantly crushing their fragile spines. This results in crowds being reduced to fractured frames and scattered flesh. The imagery of this punishment is graphic and serves to paint a bleak picture of a world that is beyond redemption. The overall message of the song is one of warning about the dangers of ignoring environmental issues and the consequences of past actions.
