In just half a decade, Oceano has transformed the genre with a youthful, modern sound as dark as the ocean depths. Their signature Drop-A tuning adds an ultra-low-end sonic assault and their anger-filled songs and live shows. Oceano lays claim to being "the heaviest, most pissed-off band on the planet."
"We have played some of the best shows of our career at the Palladium," the band said. "Massachusetts has always shown us so much love that we owe them one of our last shows. Let's make one more memory at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival!"
Added promoter Scott Lee: "I'm very sorry to see the band go. They definitely made a mark on the aggressive music scene and we are very excited to have their final show at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival."
