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.

Quarantine
Oceano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You awake to the putrid stench of decomposing flesh
Welcome to oblivion
Do not pray, for salvation won't come
Your savior does not dwell in this place

So turn your back on your faith
It only further holds you captive
You are the bastard dying children of this race

Turn your back on all faith

A desensitized state of consciousness disables every attempt to recall your origin
The sight and pungence of scorched human remnants foreshadow the purpose of containment

Showing symptoms of the afflicted ones, you're forcibly secluded from the general populous
Restrained, sedated, and internally tested
Archaic instruments have penetrated flesh

Painfully extracting blood in search of virulent, crimson spray stains the walls
Their draining torture device induces seizure
Vital signs are weakened
Sickness flows from every artery
There is no hope of survival for the diseased

You are the bastard dying children of this race
Condemned and left in quarantine

There is no hope for survival
Sickness flows from every artery

Embrace oblivion
You are the bastard dying children of this race.

Overall Meaning

The song "Quarantine" by Oceano paints a vivid and terrifying picture of a reality that some people may now be able to relate to in light of the recent global pandemic. The song depicts a dystopian world characterized by decay and death, where those who show even the slightest signs of being afflicted by sickness are forcibly removed from society and subjected to inhumane medical procedures. The lyrics suggest that in such a world, faith is useless and salvation is a meaningless concept. Turning your back on faith is not necessarily an act of rebellion but rather a means of self-preservation. The song's chorus drives home the idea that those who have been affected by the plague are doomed and there is no hope for survival.

The song's lyrics present a powerful social commentary, likening the idea of a viral outbreak to a form of social illness. The lyrics, while violent and unsettling, evoke a sense of shock and discomfort that brings home the urgency of the subject matter. In sum, the song speaks to an existential dread that many people now feel. The pandemic reminds us of our vulnerability and the fragility of life, and this song captures that sentiment with brutal honesty.

You awake to the putrid stench of decomposing flesh
You awaken to a disgusting smell of rotting bodies around you

Welcome to oblivion
You have arrived at a place of nothingness, with no hope or future

Do not pray, for salvation won't come
There is no point in asking for help, as it won't come

Your savior does not dwell in this place
There is no one around to save you

So turn your back on your faith
Abandon your belief in a higher power

It only further holds you captive
Holding onto those beliefs will only make you feel more trapped

A desensitized state of consciousness disables every attempt to recall your origin
Your mind is numb, making it impossible to remember where you came from

The sight and pungence of scorched human remnants foreshadow the purpose of containment
The smell and sight of burnt and destroyed human remains indicate that you're being kept somewhere for a reason

Showing symptoms of the afflicted ones, you're forcibly secluded from the general populous

Restrained, sedated, and internally tested
You're being tied up, given medicine, and tested on the inside of your body

Archaic instruments have penetrated flesh

Accept the fact that you're going to die

You are the bastard dying children of this race.
You're the unfortunate ones who are going to die in this place
