What’s hard hitting, got gutturals that can give you nightmares and breakdowns that makes you go wild? Oh but it’s one of the giants within deathcore, Oceano! The band is certainly one of the biggest acts going, having done headliner shows for quite some time now and got a huge fanbase. Their latest release Ascendants was a huge hit two years ago and the expectations for Revelation has been off the charts really. I’ve said it before and I will say it again though, 2017 is the biggest year in deathcore. Never before have I witnessed so many good album releases from the genre in such a short amount of time. So can Oceano still be a king among kings?

One thing is certain, Oceano still got their sweet brutal touch intact. Their songs are crazy heavy, with Adam Warren leading the charge just as well as he always has. The breakdowns are on point, the slow but brutal deathcore grooves gets you headbanging and the low death metal growls sweet music to my ears. It’s a great album that’s sure to be a hit with songs like The Great Tribulation, Human Harvest and Revelation being the icing on the cake for me. It’s hard to say if this is Oceano’s best work yet, not because Revelation doesn’t cut it but because I think Ascendants and Incisions are such a great albums (their whole discography is actually good, just their last two albums I think really hit the spot).

Oceano just keeps on giving great deathcore and Revelation is sure to keep their fans happy, it’s more of the same great formula we all love by them. If it aint broke don’t fix it. Are Oceano still kings of deathcore? Seeing they don’t seem to be able to release a bad album, I say yes and I think this is a contender for deathcore album of the year. If they win it or not is another question though!

Oceano – Revelation is out now through Sumerian Records.
