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.

Viral Re-Animation
Oceano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The streets are overflown with the presence of stagnant corpses
The first victims of infection
Their stricken bodies omit bodies a formidable stench of dermal decomposition

The vile scent of death has crept unto your doorstep
Intruded your sensory glands, stimulating a thirst for further investigation
An urge you should never have acted upon

Oblivious to the perils you've entered
Presumed to be dead, the infected are resurrected

Like a swarm they approach with malicious intent and amongst them all you're
Surrounded

The starving horde overtakes you
Teeth and nails desperately serrate through delicate flesh
Their abuse rips open fresh wounds, exposing your blood to their hazardous pathogens

You're now one with the infected
Soon to be revitalized by an unholy resurrection

Let it spread

With each person infected, the contagion grows stronger

Virally re-animated, through a continuous cycle, you have risen as a vessel of contaminants by which the contagion shall spread.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Oceano's song "Viral Re-Animation" are a gruesome description of an outbreak of a deadly virus that reanimates the dead, turning them into infected creatures with a thirst for flesh and blood. The streets are filled with the bodies of the first victims of the infection, emitting a revolting smell of decomposition. The singer is intrigued by the stench and ventures into the danger zone, where he becomes one with the infected.

The song highlights the devastating consequences of a viral outbreak and how it can spread rapidly and cause irreparable damage. The infected bodies are resurrected, turning into a swarm of monsters with the intent to kill and infect others. The singer is soon overtaken by the horde and becomes one of them, a vessel of contaminants that will continue to spread the contagion.
