Oceano NOT Breaking Up

From their Facebook:

Quote:

Don't call it a comeback! OCEANO are excited to reveal that they will not be breaking up after this year's New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and will, in fact, record new music. The band is currently hard-at-work writing their next studio album for Earache Records, which is expected in early 2013. Frontman Adam Warren issued the following statement:

"Kinda funny how right around Easter we decide to pull a Jesus and flip the script on what everyone was thinking right?

With rumors running around, and haters trolling in their own discontent, it IS true Oceano will be staying alive and kicking for the rest of 2012 and far beyond.

After essentially removing ourselves entirely from touring and the music aspect of our lives for almost 8 months, we all got to spend time with our families and friends and rediscover "normal" life.

We rarely experienced this being a part of Oceano. So it felt amazing. But also, within all the valuable time home the itch slowly started to come back.

Our "final shows" at the Jamboree and New England Hardcore/Metal Fest began to come closer, yet it just didn’t feel like anywhere near the proper way to end this band.

We all respect and appreciate how far Oceano has come amidst all the bullshit and sidetracking. Prevailing from the entire struggle made it all worth it. We also love and cherish the things we sacrifice to be on the road and perform for all those people who have supported us through it all. So why can’t we have both?

We each took the time to discover the best approach and game plan to have ample time for the things we hold most important at home (family, jobs, etc.) while still being able to do what we love and making a living off of it.

We're beyond stoked to get back to work and infect every listener with our brand of Windy City Death, but this WON'T be the Oceano you knew from last year, or even before that. The stakes are higher, shits gonna get heavier, and we're coming to entice destruction and bloodshed in every city. See you soon. "

Longtime band manager Derek Brewer had this to say:

“I wasn’t going to let something this good go…I am very proud of this band and their accomplishments all the way from the time I first starting working with them when they were playing in front of 30 kids every night at all ages community center shows to selling out well-respected clubs across the US on their last headline tour.

So when the band reached out to me to figure out a way to get things back in action, I was more than eager to do what I could to make it happen.”

OCEANO will be hitting the road heavily in support of this announcement. The band already has three dates planned, including the Jamboree in Toledo, OH, the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and a hometown throwdown show in Chicago.

Plans are underway for them to participate in a large-scale summer tour in the US (TBA) and their return to Europe for a full tour this fall.

April 15 - the Jamboree at Headliners - Toledo, OH
April 20 - The New England Metal and Hardcore Fest - Palladium - Worcester, MA
May 5 - The Bottom Lounge - Chicago, IL

In the meantime check out this video of the band’s performance last year at the NEW ENGLAND METAL AND HARDCORE FEST:

Well, I'm pretty excited that one of my good friends gets to stay in business. Congrats, Dev!

i hear a lot of people say that
only thing I'm doing right now is waiting for official word from Devin himself

other than that, im kinda celebrating a bit inside

plus, in that video there, what happened to Nick?

Hemi-Powered Drone · 04-01-2012, 12:10 PM

Yeah, today was a bad day to do that if this is legit. I don't know what to think.

MikeH · 04-01-2012, 12:42 PM

It is legit. Devin told me last week. I, for one, am stoked.

And habicore, Nick was at home taking care of family issues during NEMHF, if I remember correctly.

Guess I can sleep easier knowing all that now

Augury · 04-01-2012, 12:55 PM

Great news and I'm hoping too that isn't any April joke.

MWC262 · 04-01-2012, 01:55 PM

Me too, I remember seeing those guys in Kenosha when they released Depths. Then I saw them last year on the Summer Slaughter Tour. Holy shit it was crazy, but if this is an April fools joke, I'm gonna be pissed!

That's some good news.

th3m1ke · 04-01-2012, 04:36 PM

Glad to hear, they are cool dudes and Danny needs to be seen haha

Although I did wonder why they didnt just look for a replacement vocalist when Adam wanted to focus on his homelife instead of ending the whole thing....

BucketheadRules · 04-01-2012, 04:47 PM

Good news. One of the only bands of this ilk that I actually like.

I'm just glad it's genuine good news too, another April Fool's joke just wouldn't have been funny.

From Devin:

Quote:

Why is Oceano breaking up? Because Adam quit? Why not just find another singer?
- Do you remember how awesome Van Halen was when they replaced David Lee Roth? No? I don’t either.

7stringDemon · 04-01-2012, 10:15 PM

.... yes!

This is awesome news. definitiely stoked to hear some new stuff.

Floppystrings · 04-02-2012, 01:12 PM

This is cool and all but this thread makes me miss Despised Icon.

I am pretty sure Despised Icon will reunite though. It is weird as shit to see Alexgrind cover Nile on youtube after Despised Icon broke up, it was even a little depressing.

I suppose they should have waited to post a serious announcement about their careers because nobody would believe them, right?

If Despised Icon gets back together, I will simultaneously shit and ejaculate in my pants
