Back in Berlin after spending 3 weeks on the lands

Back in Berlin after spending 3 weeks on the landside… and the city's antsy vibrance usually takes me a couple of days to get used to. 😅

I prepped the kit today for our rehearsals starting next week and i realized that this drumset and me have spent more than a dedace together already.

I bought it back in 2009 when i had just signed with @meinlcymbals and @officialtamadrums and the first recording it ended up on was „No High Five For C.oward“ by @wfahm which ended up on a 5" split release with Dead Flesh Fashion and eventually got re-recorded for our sophomore album „In Shoals“.

Lots has changed since then. Pretty much everything, myself included, and this kit and me have traveled across Europe multiple times. I don‘t even want to know how many drops of sweat and blood have ended up on its surface… 🙈

It‘s time to buckle up for new @theoceancollective music now! I hope you‘re enjoying your weekend and i‘ll keep you posted.

Much love ♥️

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. It feels very surreal to say

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT.

It feels very surreal to say this, but: The first @fernmusik album is here. It is real. It is alive. And it is beautiful.

Funny enough, this whole story started emerging 7 years ago, when i booked my first studio session with @jankerscher and was joined by @petervoigtmann

Our encounter inevitably opened many gates for us and sparked our curiosity to immerse ourselves into a whole new musical universe.

I‘m incredibly proud of both Jan and Peter, and thankful for their immense support and their trust in my musical vision. This is indeed a new chapter and the story is just beginning to unfold…

I‘ve got the feeling.

The time has come to reveal the release of the new @nightmarercult EP!⁠
⁠
MONOLITH OF CORROSION⁠
⁠
I: Ekstasis (Baptismal Tomb)⁠
II: Metastasis (Primordial Grit)⁠
III: Stasis (Obliterated Shrine)⁠
⁠
We will debut the 'Ekstasis' single on August 6th, along with strictly limited vinyl and cassette tape pre-orders. The release date for the full digital EP is August 27th.⁠
⁠
'Monolith of Corrosion' features three seamlessly transitioning pieces, forged into one mammoth composition that spans 13 min of Total Dissonance Worship. 'Ekstasis' represents the fastest and most chaotic end of Nightmarer's spectrum, but don't let that deceive you... the EP sonically descends all the way into an oppressive crawl of industrialized misery from there.⁠
⁠
These recordings feature Nicholas McMaster (Krallice, Geryon, Edenic Past) on bass and his highly recognizable playing style truly completed 'Monolith of Corrosion', which was almost entirely recorded, mixed and mastered by the band. The result has a raw and eruptive power you haven't heard from Nightmarer before...⁠
⁠
Pre-save the 'Ekstasis' single now and let it pummel you into submission on August 6th!⁠

Hey beautiful people! Just a little heads up from

Hey beautiful people! Just a little heads up from the studio. I‘ve spent the past ~2 weeks on the countryside to record and finish my @fernmusik album over at @ghostcityrecordings 👻

Everything is slowly coming together and while listening through a couple of tracks with @jankerscher yesterday, for the first time i had a good sense of „this is really turning into a journey now!“

A big chunk of making an album actually happens way after the songs are written. Even if creating soundscapes and atmosphere are part of the initial creative process, telling a story and tying things together are eventually the tasks that make finishing a work of art so complex.

I don‘t think i‘ve ever spent so much time conceptualizing, overthinking, and questioning. We talk a lot about concepts of perfection, about achievements, about following fixed stars and goals, but when it comes to really listening we often find ourselves mistrusting our own competence or what we think we‘re capable of.

Yesterday was a turning point for me, as i‘ve noticed that trusting myself has a lot to do with how much i allow trusting the people around me. If i don‘t take their sincere advice or recommendations for granted, i‘ll forever be stuck on relying on self-assessing my workings, which is a risky business.

What i‘m trying to say is: Listen and talk to your friends, debate and discuss, open-mindedly, while staying true to your core values. It‘s okay to be wrong, it‘s okay to change your mind, it‘s okay to learn that something about yourself you thought was carved in stone is actually fluid and changes all the time.

That‘s life, i guess? ♥️
