Band Line Up 2013
.jpg){kind=logo}
Combining technical riffs, lifting choruses and sparing moments of clarity, we aim to bludgeon and sooth the listener at the same time. Drawing influence from bands such as Lamb Of God, Textures, Opeth, Gojira, Deftones and Mastodon, we put our all into everything we do in order to create the best possible music we can, but always striving to be better. Our live shows always promise to be exciting and explosive.
We have shared the stage with some great bands such as Silent Screams, Devil Sold His Soul, Feed The Rhino, Malefice and Carcer City and, in previous incarnations, Testament and Black Dhalia Murder.
In April 2012 we released our debut E.P 'Planets', which was well received by our fans and media and is available for streaming and free download on our Soundcloud page.
We are hardworking, dedicated, professional and above all determined. Our second EP is currently in the process of being recorded and will be accompanied with a 'making of' video. We also plan to release our first music video once the EP is complete and to then take it on tour on 2014.
Oceanis are proud to be playing Bloodstock Open Air. We have a real sense of achievement and this is the highlight of our brief history. It is the stand out show in an already busy year for us and to be part of a festival that is hosting some of our musical heroes is an absolute honour. When we think of what we have achieved, by getting to play Bloodstock, then it makes the blood, sweat and tears all worthwhile.
Live Reviews
"The music was indeed punishingly heavy it felt like you were being pulled from the inside out – eaten alive, chewed ferociously, swallowed, regurgitated and spat out! A truly amazing feeling it was too! Mesmerizingly superb!! I urgeeveryone to witness Oceanis live – because once sampled NEVER FORGOTTEN!"
"To say Oceanis are captivating is an understatement. I have seen a lot of music shows since we started Phoenix Rising and this is the first time I have outright forgotten to take notes because I have been so engrossed in the performance. Miss them at your peril." - Hez, Phoenix Rising Metal and Rock Webzine (Oct 12, 2011)
