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.

Oceano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know my name.
Recognize my number.
Cower in the presence of my wake.
My forehead foretells of the chaos to come, and as I said there shall be no salvation at the end.
No more world, no countries, or continents.
Only a bloodstained wasteland created from the aftermath of my Armageddon.
And with my legions, I rid the earth of all traces of your existence.
This is a global extermination.

Mutilated corpses litter the ground on which I stand.
I am the epicenter for these events.
After your execution I want to taste the blood of Christ.
Does he hear you cry out with arms to the sky?
So continue to pray and endure this unrelenting onslaught of pain.
So continue to pray, find refuge in your faith.

So continue to pray.
On judgement day, God is no longer listening.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oceano's song With Legions depict a violent and godless world dominated by a powerful "I" who is unrelenting in their quest for destruction. The language used has religious connotations, with references to the apocalypse, Armageddon, and the blood of Christ. The lyrics appear to be spoken from the perspective of a tyrant who revels in the destruction they have caused, and shows no remorse for the countless lives lost in the process. The imagery in the lyrics is graphic, speaking of mutilated corpses lying on the ground and a bloodstained wasteland, leaving the listener with a visceral sense of the devastation described. The repeated refrain of "so continue to pray" adds a vein of bitterness to the lyrics, suggesting that prayer in the face of such destruction is a futile exercise, and that the God of the singer's audience is no longer listening.
