Oceano frontman leaves band

As you may recall, a few weeks ago we posted something about Chicago deathcore outfit Oceano supposedly breaking up. Well, those rumors may have been correct, or least partially correct. It seems that Oceano vocalist Adam Warren quit the band not too long ago. Warren posted the following this evening relative to Killswitch Engage and singer Howard Jones parting ways:
"I'm shocked, but well... If Killswitch can go on after 9 years and 3 albums without Mr. Jones on vox.... Why couldn't a certain band with out me? (2 albums and a mere 3 years) Just sayin."
Warren went on to provide an explanation for his departure:
"I got a son that's growing quick to provide for and I don't wanna miss a second of it. I keep it real. I'm workin on some projects here at home, they'll pop up when I get time away from father duties to dig deeper."
Meanwhile, the Oceano camp remains silent on the matter.
UPDATE: Oceano is apparently breaking up after all.

Respect for realizing his kids more important. And huge lol at the band for thinking theyre even close to killswitch's level.

anonymous 1/4/2012 4:46:03 PM

Sounds like a solid dude to me. More dudes in bands should put their family first.

"Babe, can't YOU take him to get his vaccinations that day? We've got a show. This could be our big break."

anonymous 1/5/2012 8:48:13 AM

They have since announced that metalfest will be their last show and Adam has agreed to participate.

anonymous 1/5/2012 8:50:10 AM

Black singer flip X2

anonymous 1/5/2012 8:52:32 AM

ust to clear everything up, Oceano is NOT looking for a new singer. New England Metal and Hardcore Festival will be one of the last Oceano shows ever, and yes, Adam will be there. Thanks for all of your support. From facebook

kevin_sorbo 1/5/2012 9:01:59 AM

the singer is black.

anonymous 1/5/2012 9:28:18 AM

Shitty. There first album is probably one of my favorite records of the last 5 years. fck it. More importantly KSE is suck, and has always been suck. Howard Jones is a terrible vocalist. I'm going to go smoke some meth now, y'know... ease the pain.

anonymous 1/5/2012 11:16:36 AM

Even if you hated deathcore this guy had some fckin pipes for that genre

anonymous 1/5/2012 12:16:19 PM

^Das true doe.

Finally the band admitted that he was hired based on affirmative action. PC gays.
