After a headlining tour in the spring of 2017, Holzbaur left, and Matt Kohanowski (Shadow of Intent) filled in live on that year's Summer Slaughter before eventually being made full-time by the end of the year.

Oceano is an American deathcore band. Once just one of many acts from the 2000s deathcore boom with a little bit of hype and little else, they managed to soldier on and persevere for long enough to find themselves becoming the kings of a new crop of bands, going from a low-level support to one of the modern faces of the genre.
Formed in Chicago in 2006 by Eddie Harris (vocals), Jeremy Carroll (guitars), Kevin Hare (bass), and Derek Hildreth (drums), the band went through a nonstop revolving door of members for the next year before settling on the new lineup, with Carroll and Hare staying and Adam Warren, Andrew Mikhail, and Michael Southcomb taking the vocal, rhythm guitar, and drum slots. Hare and Southcomb were both gone by 2008, however, and in their place came Jason Jones and Danny Terchin, creating the ''Depths'' lineup. The band also inked a deal with Earache Records around this time, and ''Depths'', their debut on the label, was released in April of 2009 and solidified their place as a rising star in the crowded deathcore genre. Shortly before the album was released, Jeremy Carroll was fired from the band due to serious personality conflicts with the other members; rather draft a new member, they continued on as a four-piece for a short while before Tristan [=McCann=] joined. [=McCann=] was gone by the end of the year, however, and around the beginning of 2010, Andrew Mikhail also left. Devin Shidaker and Nick Conser jumped in to take their place, and they ran back into the studio to crank out a followup. ''Contagion'' was released that November, and after another year plus change of breakneck touring, rumors started to emerge in 2012 that they were breaking up. The truth was eventually revealed: they weren't breaking up, per se, but they were going on indefinite hiatus so Adam Warren could care for his newborn child.
This was short-lived, however, as they were right back on the road by the summer, and by the beginning of 2013, they had released a lyric video for a new song. ''Incisions'' itself wasn't out until that October, however, and by the end of the year, Shidaker and Terchin were both out.
