Sumerian Records
Sumerian Records is an American independent record label based in Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and London. The label was founded in 2006 by Ash Avildsen. Oceano went through a revolving cast of players until settling on a new lineup and a new sound in 2007. That lineup, consisting of Adam Warren on vocals, Andrew Mikhail on rhythm guitar, Michael Southcomb on drums and Kevin Hare on bass, went on to develop the sound they took to the world in their first recordings.
Oceano recorded their full debut album '' Depths'' in late 2008, releasing it worldwide on April 20, 2009.
Jeremy Carroll was fired from the band in January 2009 due to personality conflicts between members. Carrol's leaving left no original members from the original Oceano lineup in the band. On February 3, 2010, Andrew Mikhail also departed from the band.
Oceano was a part of the 2011 Summer Slaughter Tour in North America alongside co-headliners Whitechapel and The Black Dahlia Murder.
In January 2012, a rumor spread that the band was disestablishing, which was confirmed as false by Earache. Instead, an announcement was made that the band actually was going on a short hiatus after their performance at the
