With over 5 million collective streams/views worldwide to date, Deep as Ocean is a modern band, whose music can be best described as a blend of nu and melodic metalcore. DaO has been working industriously to cement its place in the world music panorama since 2016, when the band was co-founded by two brothers, guitarist Alberto and drummer Riccardo Buttò. Their band was joined by vocalist Matt Bonfanti, bassist Matteo Acquati, and second guitarist Andrea Fabro. At the end of 2018, DaO got back to the studio to work on new material, including the song “The Sinking Ship”. 2019 kicked off with two new releases, “Hourglass” (feat. Matt Gelsomino from NOVELISTS) and "Oblivion”. In October, “Knives and Flames” and its official video was out. DaO’s debut album "Crossing Parallels" was launched on December 13th. In 2020, DaO’s ballad “Black Rose (8d Audio)” was released in 8d version, achieving resounding success on digital platforms. “Harakiri” and “Death Whistle” have fostered DaO’s notoriety in the new metal scene. Both songs, alongside “Blood Eagle” and “Second Circle,” have been included in “Chronicles ” (April 2022). This concept EP collects songs inspired by literary poems and folk traditions about life, death, and the afterlife. New singles are on the way for the new album release by 2024... DaO shared the stage with Escape the Fate, Crystal Lake, Ghost Iris, Blood Youth, and more
