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 (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, ABORTED, WHITECHAPEL).

Due to be released in early 2009, Depths will contain 13 tracks of the angriest deathcore cuts ever committed to record, alongside a limited edition bonus DVD, and will also be available as a limited edition version with 2 exclusive bonus tracks. The track listing for Depths is as follows: 'Descent', 'Inhuman Affliction', 'Empathy For Leviathan', 'Plague Campaign', 'Fractured Frames, Scattered Flesh', 'Disgust For Your Kind', 'Depths', 'District Of Misery', 'With Legions', 'Slaughtered Like Swine', 'A Mandatory Sacrifice', 'Samael The Destroyer', 'Abysm'.
