Taking a short break from my social media break to send a big big big thank you to the amazing @underfed_ and everyone at @dunkpressing for welcoming us with open arms today!

Not only were we allowed to take a look behind the scenes of their incredible vinyl production, but also… and this was a first… we were able to press our very own vinyl copies of the new @theoceancollective album!!! What a unique experience…

I‘m still buzzing! On another note: I’m back to full health, both physically and mentally and i‘m silently working on a new exciting project behind the curtains that i hope to be able to unveil soon…

Sending you all love and warmth! ♥️

Certainly one of the weirdedst videos we’ve done

Certainly one of the weirdedst videos we’ve done so far. Our second single is a collaborative song between @nightmarercult and @valborgband who are undoubtedly Germany’s best Metal band

‚Taufbefehl‘ roughly translates to „baptizing orders“ and features German guest vocals, performed by Christian Kolf and Jan Buckard. It’s a stoic, primitive, harsh and blasphemous machine that will eat your soul.

Make of the accompanying music video what you will... streaming now over at @metalinjection 🙏🏻 Link in bio!

Wow! So many people! 166 participants, 197 comments. I was obviously a bit nervous when going live, but it is what it is and i’m up for doing it again in the future. Maybe for a proper Q&A? 😁

Congrats to @nahir.and.metallico 👏🏻 the signed drumhead is yours and i will reach out to you for shipping details.

Thank you all for participating, leaving comments and telling me about your favourite shows. It‘s been a pleasure to read through your personal experiences and fascinating to revisit some of the shows mentally, thinking about how many incredible countries and people we‘ve been able to play for througout the past year…

In addition: I‘ve rounded up the amount of comments from 197 to 250 and donated to @uanimals.eng who are taking care of animals in need in the war-torn areas of Ukraine. If you‘re curious about where and what the money is spent on, take a look at their website. They post monthly reports!

Be safe out there, take care and talk to you soon! Much love ♥️

Touring has been pretty rough on us! If you wanna see what we did while being on the road in North and South America, check out the latest @theoceancollective video for 'Parabiosis' 👴🏻

I‘ll dive gently into the weekend now. Remember tomorrow at 2:50PM CET i‘ll draw the winner of the signed drumhead giveaway. 👀⏳

Thanks @drewstorcks for capturing future me! 📷

And now for something completely different. 🩸

I met up with the super talented @katherina_asta last year in a very intimate setting to shoot these pictures for @fernmusik

It took a moment to get comfortable and open up to the fragility of exposure, but ended up being a very liberating and empowering process in order to acknowledge vulnerability as a part of me that i’ve already been trying share in words.

Take it as you will, but i try embracing sensitivity as an intrinsic trait of human social behaviour.

Thanks Katherina for capturing and making me feel safe! Make sure to follow and support her. 🙏🏻

Really missing @die_muehle_ today… if you‘ve seen the „Jurassic | Cretaceous“ drum playthrough this should look familiar!

Here's a flash back to 2018, 5 years ago when @thegreatestbane @alxkrdt and me went to Iceland to record both Phanerozoic albums in FIVE days.

We had spontaneously decided to go record at the legendary @sundlaugin studio, formerly owned by none other than @sigurros The room was HUGE and had been transformed from an old swimming pool for elderly people into a warm, great sounding space that was filled with instruments. I still remember imagining bodies swimming through the room while i was hitting the drums, as if i were in a Studio Ghibli movie.

Being done after five instead of six days we decided to rent a car to make use of the limited time there and drove through snowcapped landscapes, visiting glaciers, waterfalls and enchanted black-sand beaches. We were hosted in a local airbnb at that time when one evening, relaxing from an exhausting recording sessions we were completely taken by surprise as @jonasrenkseofficial sent a first vocal demo for what ended up to be Devonian. Minds were blown to say the least.

It's funny how five years can feel both like a lifetime and a glimpse of a moment, especially when filled with so many memories.

Giveaway: Keep on reading 👀

A couple of days have passed now after the last show in Maastricht last weekend. I‘ve been pretty busy nonetheless with setting up pre-orders for the new @theoceancollective album, creating mockups and products, making sure the website works again (after crashing due to the insane amount of requests) and just generally fixing s***.

Today‘s the first REAL off-day and i‘m just taking it as it comes. My mind is still running pretty fast, trying to find tasks that i can accomplish and looking for ways to fill the gaps that i could in theory just enjoy doing absolutely nothing.

It usually takes me a couple of days/weeks to adjust and recalibrate, establishing a daily routine that can be both fulfilling in terms of keeping my brain and body active and hungry while maintaining a healthy lifestyle that allows boredom and recharging to exist without judgement.

Now it‘s time to finish this chapter and gain perspective.

▶️ Also: I want to give away this used drumhead from the last tour, signed by all band members and pimped by @imani.thierie ◀️

Make sure to follow my page and @theoceancollective and leave a comment here: What was your favourite show of the Phanerozoic tour cycle? And tag a friend who should join you next time!

Go! I‘ll choose a winner live here on IG next Saturday. ♥️

What a perfect ending to a perfect tour! I‘m goi

What a perfect ending to a perfect tour! I‘m going to miss these guys a lot… thanks for having us and giving us the opportunity to witness the energy of your shows every day @karnivool_official

It‘s a match! ♥️

So inspiring and uplifting to watch @stevejudd23 @illuminartist @drewgoddardmusic @jonstockmanv8l and the legend @kenny_kan_do every day. Godspeed you lovely mates!

We‘re off towards Dover to hit the ferry and will play TWO more shows before going home finally. I feel like i‘ve forgotten what it means to be home properly, but i‘ll get there carrying a handful of buckets filled to the brim with memories i‘ll want to go back to until i‘ll leave this earthly sphere.

I‘m grateful.
