At a mere 28 minutes, Ascendants is a fairly comfortable album to sit through. The Chicago, Illinois-based deathcore unit Oceano pretty much smoothed out the problems that plagued their last recording (e.g. no ridiculous cleans from frontman Adam Warren). Oceano's fourth studio offering is quite unremarkable and homogeneous, although in spite of that, the release is otherwise solid and tends to skip the bullshit. Now picture yourself lifting weights, taking the world's most run-of-the-mill crap, or eating a bowl of Frosted Flakes in pitch black darkness with Ascendants playing in the background.

Oceano is a band that has received much hate and disdain from metal fans, but most of what I've heard from them have been pretty good. I really enjoyed their debut album Depths and a few samples I heard from their previous two albums have been pretty decent as well. However, I can say that Ascendants without a doubt is Oceano's best album. It's some of the heaviest, gut-wrenching music to be put out here in 2015. There are a lot of breakdowns, sure, but they're ultimately what make this album as freaking heavy as it is. Not only that, but they through in a lot of parts that sound straight out of a brutal death metal CD. The album does get repetitive at times, but overall I had a blast listening to it. Recommending this to anyone who love heavy, punch-to-the-face type music. 8.5/10

Adam vocals are awesome as usual but so boring... It lasts only 28 minutes because they knew
it would be bore the listener to death if it lasted more

Oceano at their best. Nothing amazing but a pretty foreboding and plastering album.

I may not have high expectations for this album, but hey, at least they can't make anything worse than Incisions. Right?
