German Nu Death outfit, OCEANS, return with their new single, “Ghost”, a brutal yet vulnerable reflection on anxiety, isolation, and the overwhelming fear of not being enough. Driven by a haunting screamed verse and a massive, melodic chorus, “Ghost” continues the band’s journey of giving voice to mental health struggles through raw heaviness and emotional honesty.
Singer Timo Rotten comments: “This song is about the kind of anxiety that traps you inside your own head, where every silence feels like rejection, and every thought turns against you. ‘Ghost’ is a reflection of that, but also a fight against it.”
“Ghost” is the first of four singles leading into OCEANS’ upcoming EP, “We Are Nøt Okay II”, the sequel to their 2021 release, “We Are Nøt Okay”. The new EP drops in November.
To support the release of their upcoming EP, OCEANS will hit the road this fall for the Still Not Okay Tour 2025. Expect 11 intense shows packed with raw emotion, heaviness, and a powerful message – because this band is still not okay, and neither are we.

Since 2018, Germany’s OCEANS have fused Death Metal, Nu Metal, and Post-Rock into a sound that’s as heavy as it is emotionally raw. Their music tackles mental health with brutal honesty and zero compromise.
From their debut “The Sun And The Cold” (2020) to “We Are Nøt Okay “(2021), “Hell Is Where The Heart Is” (2022), and “HAPPY” (2024), the band has built a reputation for intensity and authenticity. Tours with SEPTICFLESH, BLIND CHANNEL, and PAIN, plus appearances at some of Europe’s biggest Metal festivals like Graspop and Full Force, have made them one of the scene’s most promising names. With their new EP “We Are Nøt Okay II” (2025), OCEANS take the next step — louder, darker, and more fearless than ever.
