Depths is the newly unveiled title of the 2009 debut album from eternally pissed off Chicagoans, OCEANO. When asked about the title's meaning, guitarist Andrew Mikhail stated "It means many things to us and can mean many things to others. It could relate to hell, oceans, heaviness or a ton of other stuff. We just thought that when you hear our music, there's an everlasting association between us and all sorts of different types of depths out there. Whether it be emotional, physical or whatever else, the connection is unmistakable."

Depths will contain 13 tracks (15 in Japan) of the angriest deathcore cuts ever committed on record alongside a limited edition bonus DVD. Depths is due for release in 2009.

Oceano will be heading into the studio this October to record Depths with producer Joey Sturgis (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, MY CHILDREN MY BRIDE) at The Foundation Studios in Connersville, IN.

With an increasing reputation for being a highly aggressive and dangerous live act, Oceano guitarist, Andrew Mikhail promises to bring all the anger that they possess on stage into the studio and capture it for all time when making Depths in October. "We're gonna turn our anger up a few notches for this record. If that means we have to throw chairs at the mixing booth glass and tear the studio to bits to get us there - so be it."

Alongside songs that have long been a part of Oceano's set like 'Samael The Destroyer' and 'Inhuman Affliction', the band plans to record many new songs that will surely smash the very limits of what "heavy" is. According to Mikhail, "There's a lot more going on musically with the new material." The imposing Oceano guitarist promises that new songs like "Disgust For Your Kind" will be "faster, darker and a hell of a lot more heavy." Most importantly, he states that everything will "stay true to the 'Oceano sound.'"
