History

Oceana was born in 1994 from the friendship between vocalist/instrumentalist Massimiliano Pagliuso and drummer Alessandro "Sancho" Marconcini (then second guitarist, Gianpaolo Caprino, was added in 1997). The intent was to mix progressive metal elements with European-style death doom. The references, from a musical point of view, range from Edge Of Sanity to Katatonia, from Paradise Lost to Duran Duran, from Metallica to Dream Theater.
