here is a quote from former singer Anthony:
"It’s pronounced SAY-OCEAN. And it’s a Chinese proverb from the 15th and 16th centuries. It means “small heart”. Fathers used to marry off their youngest son's for money and used to tell them that they weren’t marrying for love, that their wife doesn’t matter. She could die at anytime so don’t get attached. They had to love with caution and raise their sons to be cold and unfeeling as well. I found it in the 8th grade and loved it, I used to name all my old bands that and write songs about it."

They're kind of like Coheed and Cambria, but heavier and edgier. Anthony's voice can go from growling screams to high notes in a flash. Drums sound like machine guns and the guitar work is sick.

The californian hardcore, amazing voice, beautiful drumming, and it also is an old chinese proverb "Small heart" the fathers used to tell their sons to keep their heart small and don't get attached to things because you can lose them anytime.
