Oceano (Wounds Never Healed) [Review]

Cinematic Tension Collides with Oceano’s Familiar Intensity

On August 30th, 2024, Oceano released “Wounds Never Healed” as part of their album “Living Chaos,” which features 9 tracks and is their sixth album within 15 years. The song surprises listeners with an unexpected electronic intro, creating a suspenseful and almost cinematic mood that differs from the traditional deathcore formula. As the song progresses, it transitions into Oceano’s familiar style of guttural growls and riffs, seamlessly shifting the mood from suspense to chaotic energy.

The relentless rhythm drives the song forward, maintaining an unyielding pace throughout. The climax of the song introduces a heavier and more complex pattern, with the guitars and drums working together to intensify the track. Oceano showcases their ability to evolve within their sound while still delivering the heaviness their fans appreciate.

The track’s dynamic shifts and explosive power ensure that it remains engaging from start to finish, exceeding the expectations of their fans and demonstrating their ability to push the boundaries of the genre while staying true to their roots.
