OCEANO's Over The Limit Tour - Almost Famous contest came to a close earlier today and drew a major fan response that put the spotlight on some majorly talented and creative people all over the nation. As the band takes some time to go through the videos to determine the grand prize winner, there has already been one stand out video that's received many positive reviews for combining OCEANO's brutality with sheer good humor and fan enthusiasm.

In this riotous video by YouTube user, MantisInMyPants702, he shows us how he "gets pumped" for OCEANO. Watch the video here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V54q33HCpCw

The 3rd episode of OCEANO TV has been posted on the band's YouTube page. In this edition, vocalist, Adam Warren lets fans in on his daily routine. Starting from the time he wakes up at (way past) the crack of noon, Adam shows fans all the steps behind making his vocals on CONTAGION sound so undeniably monstrous. Watch as Adam heats up his special pre-session warmup drink. Learn Adam's secret warmup routine. Finally, view just how beastly his vocals will sound on CONTAGION by way of an in-studio camera that filmed his sessions. Watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9bNKGsBwwc

Produced by Zeuss (MUNICIPAL WASTE, THE ACACIA STRAIN, HATEBREED, SHADOWS FALL), CONTAGION spreads this fall.
