Serpents (ex-Oceano) announce new members

Official press release: American "Blackened Deathcore" band, Serpents, are pleased to announce that they are back into the collective "studio" re-recording the pre-production for their long awaited debut entitled "Hymns of the Serpent." Serpents are also pleased to announce that Louis Tanuis Jr. (previously of Conducting From the Grave) will be on vocal duties and Ramon "Lord Cocos" Villarreal (previously of Upon a Burning Body) on drums, rounding out the lineup. Guitarist and founder, Andrew Mikhail, has issued the following: "Plain and simple? On this day two years ago, I left Oceano. On this day a year ago, Serpents and its 'Movement' were unveiled to the world. Today, I am happy to announce a new chapter for Serpents. We now have Lou and Cocos on board and we can finally release some details about this damn album that i've been working on for a year now. haha. Nonetheless, after a couple successful tours and a very unpredictable past and future to come, 'The Movement' is still going strong as it should rightfully be and i couldn't be any more proud! "As for new music with the new lineup, be on the lookout for that dropping within the month. Until then, join 'The Movement' by linking up with our social networks to keep up to date with us! You don't want to miss this."

GIVE UP ALREADY YOU FAT RETARD. NO ONE CARES ABOUT SERPENTS. YOUR MOVEMENT IS NOTHING AND YOU AREN'T CHANGING MUSIC BY MAKING DEATHCORE. NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU BEING IN OCEANO ONCE. THE LINEUP AFTER YOU LEFT WAS THE BEST. DIE ALREADY. MOVE OUT OF CHICAGO AGAIN. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A FAT LOSER WITH A BAD dck.

LOLOLOL AT "QUIT" OCEANO. THEY KICKED YOUR WARIO LOOKIN ASS OUT, YOU BUTTHURT BITCH!

anonymous 2/5/2012 11:16:26 AM

fck the artery foundation for backing this talentless egomaniacs shit project

sgt_grumbles 2/5/2012 12:36:15 PM

No one gives a fck.

anonymous 2/5/2012 2:30:17 PM

I talked to the dudes from conducting from the grave and lou quit to be with his daughter so guarantee he won't last.... even tho he is a badass vocalist....

anonymous 2/5/2012 3:22:41 PM

Lou has a son. Not a daughter. But ya. He'll probably quit. I don't see this lasting long

anonymous 2/5/2012 3:30:07 PM

Hahaha andrew.... Your band is a joke. The only reason "depths", (yea the shitty album you STILL thrive on) was even legit was because you went to a REAL producer, joey sturgis, we all know he made all the song writing acceptable and he made YOU sound legit. .

anonymous 2/5/2012 3:31:14 PM

(continued) Serpents.... are you serious about this, lets be real it sounds worse than a fcking local band. Do something legit. Learn real music, go to school, be productive. Stop thriving off your ego, your shitty ass band, and oceano's weak ass album joey sturgis and adam warren should get all the credit for

anonymous 2/5/2012 4:40:40 PM

Serpents and its 'bowel movement' were unveiled to the world.

anonymous 2/5/2012 6:45:09 PM

I think anonymous said it best.

anonymous 2/6/2012 12:22:06 AM

Ugly chubby jew nose nobody with rich parents to fund his hobby. Shitgay retard you suck and we hate you!

anonymous 2/6/2012 12:23:19 AM

when bands form, its called a movement?

anonymous 2/6/2012 12:24:17 AM

We hate you. Stop trying so hard and go work at hot topic that's where you belong

anonymous 2/6/2012 7:24:33 AM

I like how both new members have kids. Cocos has at least 4 kids if not more. As for Andrew he can never give up the dream because outside of boasting to sluts he plays guitar he has nothing to offer the world other than his suicide. This fcking band is the biggest joke.

anonymous 2/6/2012 9:44:48 AM

Official press release my ass.. that chub is on his computer now trying to market his shit music that nobody cares about. The only reason this article has so many views is because we are all laughing at the truth in the comments. I can't wait to see a positive comment pop up in his defense that will be written by himself

anonymous 2/6/2012 9:52:54 AM

I could not be more excited for this! A mixture of talent this good has got me all gibbered! -murky

anonymous 2/6/2012 11:06:39 AM

Tried booking a tour for these dudes. No one fcking wanted them so they ended up playing in some shitty community centers. Give up dude.

anonymous 2/6/2012 10:05:12 PM

^ lol at you trying to join in on the trolling parade when you at one point in time were working with them. I bet you booked the community center shows and told them "i'm a booking agent!" hahahahaha

anonymous 2/7/2012 3:46:44 AM

Youre still a fat piece of shit who sucks at writing music. Get over yourself you dumb fck, I think more people got a rise out of your tiny uncircumcised dck pics than anything. Take a minute to write good music and not be an egotistical fck and maybe people will care. Oh and your new members are gonna quit in two months anyways fyi.

anonymous 2/7/2012 3:47:50 AM

Your movement is really fcking stupid btw

anonymous 2/7/2012 5:09:06 AM

anonymous 2/7/2012 5:19:16 AM

saggy skinned gay

anonymous 2/7/2012 8:55:49 AM

Im really stoked that Coty (ex vocalist) left this piece of shit band. His vocals were way beyond the shit music he had to put them over. fcking gay ass snakesssttttthhhhhhhh . Serpentsthhhhhh

anonymous 2/10/2012 2:35:01 AM

the symbol,Ourovoros Ophis.."snake eating it's own tail" that they use is displayed on numerous Masonic seals..FREEMASONRY..they claim to have christain members..but this is very satanic. screw this band!

anonymous 2/28/2012 12:03:54 PM

they are all washed up douchebags riding on the coat-tails of their old bands success, it will be yet another band that plays breakdown followed by a breakdown only to finish off with a breakdown, but hey the kids will dig it and these dudes can continue to make shitty music while simulatneously getting paid shit to do so.

anonymous 4/1/2012 5:25:34 PM

Band sucks. Andy thinks he's a some god to music. He has the audacity to call this a 'movement' like he's some revolutionary music genius. He's shredded the fat to make room for his ever inflating ego.

anonymous 4/2/2012 12:40:26 PM

his studio is his bedroom. he tries to hype everything about his band because he thinks it sounds cool. it fails because the shit is shit and never lives up to the hype. ego. ego. ego. ego. ego. 'themovement' ego. hashtag. hashtag. ego. the movement. hashtag. get ready for the most revolutionary thing you've ever heard. ego. the movement.

anonymous 4/4/2012 10:48:22 AM

I dont see why everyone is being so hateful, has any one even heard the new shit? like i dont know this guy from oceano but cocos and CFTG and the other guitarist sound legit.

anonymous 6/29/2012 2:28:32 AM

Lets be honest, fck serpents, fck oceano, jerome was better than both of them. So they should take note, "eat the fckin' gun" and give up. Deathcore neeeds to die out, its played out whack shit. I havent been to a good scene in years cuz of this shit being called metal now.

anonymous 3/6/2019 5:31:20 AM

Wait isn't serpents that band cody Stewart (might be the wrong name he's in the browings and I don't listen to that shit) or Dusty Boles in. Either way this is the same era anyone cared about Oceano or Deflier. Blast beat and that "I wanna see you cry bitch" thing.
