OCEANS Channel Haunting Emotion in New Single ‘Ghost’ From Upcoming EP We Are NØT Okay

German nu metal revivalists OCEANS have unleashed Ghost, a brooding and brutally honest new single taken from their just-announced EP We Are NØT Okay. Fusing the grit of early 2000s nu metal with modern post-metal atmospheres and emotional depth, the band delivers a track that hits like a gut punch and lingers like a shadow.

Ghost dives deep into themes of isolation, emptiness, and the feeling of becoming invisible to the world. The track rides on sludgy guitars, industrial-tinged textures, and frontman Timo Rotten’s visceral vocal blend of clean vulnerability and guttural intensity. It’s classic nu metal in spirit — raw, confrontational, and painfully real — but reimagined through a cinematic, modern lens.

The single leads the charge for We Are NØT Okay, OCEANS’ forthcoming EP that continues their dedication to exploring mental health, trauma, and healing through heavy music. With each track, the band aims to destigmatize the conversation while delivering sonic chaos that speaks to the inner turmoil so many experience.

With Ghost, OCEANS prove they’re not just paying homage to nu metal’s legacy — they’re shaping its future. We Are NØT Okay drops soon, and if this first single is any indication, it’s going to hit hard and stay with you long after the last note fades.
