Oceano - Depths

Vocalist and guitar (sometimes) reminds me of Despised Icon.

In fact I'd call this a slightly more deathcore oriented Despised Icon.

Dunno what to think of this. It is ridiculously brutal, to the point that it alone provides some enjoyability, but most of the tracks are indistinguishable from one another and are pretty bland. District of Misery and the title track are really good though (seriously, the atmosphere on District is fucking creepy) and I do enjoy this for what it is.

This is extremely influenced by Suffocation.

I've listened to ten minutes of The Ocean before asking myself why Oceano were playing atmo sludge and finally noticing my error. I've interlaced songs from this album with songs from Ascendants, and the change is impressive. They moved on from being actually generic to a multi-layered monster mixing deathcore, djent and atmospherics like few others know how to. They now feel like a bridge between Despised Icon (I agree there Tanner) and Ion Dissonance, and in no way generic.

Back to this album though, very primal, very basic, but with that claustrophobia-inducing feeling your were talking about, Bence. I don't really know what happened with Incisions, this and the latest is where it's at.

It's all been done before but i love the the atmosphere the album has, hell songs like District Of Misery even get a bit creepy later on.

Vocals remind me of Infant Annihilator

To be fair, Infant Annihilator wasn't a band when I made that comment.
