OCEANO POSTS VIDEO UPDATE FROM THE STUDIO

By jason

During a break from recording their February debut, DEPTHS, Chicago deathcore heavyweights OCEANO put together a special video update. Currently in the midst of recording guitars for the upcoming album, OCEANO takes you behind the mixing boards for a candid, yet goofy look at what they've been doing so far with footage from the drum recording sessions and shots of the band hanging out around the studio. It all ends with a special message from OCEANO guitarist, Andrew Mikhail who spills the beans on possible tour plans and much more. Watch the special studio video update below.

ANDREW MIKHAIL, guitarist for OCEANO - the band who famously had a series of
photos BANNED from MySpace for being too gruesome - comments on the band's
first week in the studio: "Things have been going great here. Drums are
done and we're currently in the process of mixing them, then we begin the
rest of the tracking next week. So for now, we're lifting weights, booking
tours, and playing N64 while we wait. It's still a little early to give a
lot of update, but the album is coming along smoothly and sounding great."

And just incase you had any doubts about it, MIKHAIL finishes, "We're most
definitely shooting for this CD to be one of the heaviest and darkest CDs
around!"

DEPTHS, the debut album from OCEANO, is being recorded with producer JOEY
STURGIS (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, MY CHILDREN MY BRIDE) at The Foundation
Studios in Connersville, Indiana, and will feature artwork from COLIN MARKS
