Deep As Ocean is a Milan-based modern metalcore outfit formed in 2016 by brothers Alberto and Riccardo Buttò. Their sound identity is defined by a 'nu-metalcore' approach, blending the rhythmic bounce and electronic textures of the late 90s with the technical precision and vocal versatility of the 2010s melodic metalcore scene.
They occupy a cultural space within the 'New Wave of Italian Metal,' characterized by high production values and international appeal. Their career arc shows a steady evolution from the raw energy of 'Lost Hopes | Broken Mirrors' to the sophisticated, concept-driven songwriting found on 'Chronicles,' which draws from literary and folkloric sources. Critically, they are noted for their ability to integrate cinematic synths without sacrificing the weight of their metal foundations. Their influence web connects them to the polished, tech-forward sound of bands like Novelists and Northlane, while maintaining a hook-driven accessibility that has earned them millions of streams. They represent the modern shift toward 'playlist-ready' metal that emphasizes clarity, atmosphere, and emotional catharsis.
