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.

Persuasive Oppression
Oceano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Feat. Nick Arthur Of "Molotov Solution"]

Infiltrating defences, evolving with every strand, the contagion continues to spread.
Stranded in a devastated wasteland of contaminants, the population is slowly depleting in distress.
What remains of a helpless civilization is depleted by an invisible threat.
So government drastically exerts its power.
Through the provision of new laws and enforcement of home invasions to search and extract those infected.
Containment camps are erected for protection under the "Anti-contagion act".

A document that holds no truth within its pages and provides no real solutions.
this is a persuasive attempts to futher oppress you.
this is corruptive.
Witness a greater vision.
To purify the nation of its ailments, human rights are compromised, marshal law is put into effect to suppress public action and freedom of speech.
Politics swiftly evolve into a fascist tyranny.
Witness a greater vision.

Infiltrating defences and evolving with every strand, the contagion shall continue to spread.
This is a greater vision a long awaited master plan, which will begin and end in your oppression

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Oceano's song Persuasive Oppression describe a dystopian future in which a contagious virus has destroyed much of civilization. The government's response is to exert drastic power, using new laws, home invasions, and containment camps to protect against the spread of the virus. However, the song suggests that these measures are not effective and that they are actually a way for the government to further oppress its citizens. Human rights are compromised, and martial law is put in effect to suppress any public action or freedom of speech, leading to the development of a fascist tyranny. Despite these efforts, the virus continues to spread, and the song ends with the message that this vision of oppression is a long-awaited master plan that will begin and end in the listener's oppression.

The lyrics of Persuasive Oppression present a bleak and disturbing vision of the future. Some of the themes explored in the song include government corruption, the erosion of civil liberties, and the use of fear and oppression to maintain power. The song is notable for its explicit political content, which is not always present in heavy metal music. It is also notable for its guest vocals from Nick Arthur of Molotov Solution, who adds to the intensity of the song with his aggressive screams and growls.
