The Ocean
(2014 – today)
Coalescing around a shared vision of limitless sonic exploration and heaviness, The Ocean is a group of artists that has released 10 studio albums in different constellations since 2001.
Right off the back of North American & European tours with Karnivool and Katatonia, the band released a brand new studio album in May 2023: ‘Holocene’ sees The Ocean add a closing chapter to their palaeontology-inspired album series, presenting a gear shift towards the electronic world while redefining heaviness at the same time. The album entered the official German album charts at #15 and was the 2nd best selling album of all genres on Bandcamp in the week of release.
Nightmarer
(2014 – today)
Clandestinely conceived by (former) members of Gigan, WFAHM and The Ocean in 2014, this international collective set out to derive only the most extreme elements of their previous musical endeavors and take them to a much more miserable and punishing level.
FERN
(2014 – heute)
The musical world of FERN is like a midnight metro ride, past flickering lights and across shifting tracks. It is a brooding metropolitan world where nothing is what it seems and where marvel and menace co-exist at the same time. The city at night can be a deceitful place. Pleasure can quickly turn to pain and beauty can be found in the murkiest of places.
Likewise, FERN can be both dark and light, both distant and intimate, and both soothing and punishing. Combining pop-sensibility with experimental production and incredible attention to detail, FERN harnesses the incredible musical and literary poetry of Paul Seidel (The Ocean Collective, Nightmarer), standing on the shoulders of great eclectic pop artists like Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode and Björk.
