German nu metal band Oceans release their new album, HAPPY, today.

In celebration of the news, they also have delivered a brand new music video for the title track 'Happy', which you can witness here: https://youtu.be/3_u60_ZDUsM

The band's third album, HAPPY comprises 11 new songs, including the two previously released singles 'Slaves to the Feed' and 'Spit', and is available now. The album thematically deals with the topics of mental health and the negative phases in life. The album name HAPPY functions more likely as a destination state. The band gives free rein to their emotions and describes in their usual musical rigor everything that goes wrong in this world and needs to be improved in order to finally reach the state of mind 'Happy'.

Bass player Thomas Winkelmann comments: 

"WithHAPPYwe go harder and more uncompromising than ever before. In the sometimes very interchangeable mishmash of metal/deathcore bands out there, we tried to create our own sound without imposing limits on ourselves in the process."

About:
Germany’s Nu Death powerhouse Oceans are back with unprecedented ferocity since their debut EP in 2018. Brace yourself for their third album HAPPY, a colossal juggernaut that once again showcases the band's ability to seamlessly fuse Nu Metal, Death Metal and Post Rock into their own signature sound. The days of subtle introversion seem to be over. As the world faces one crisis after another, Oceans are channelling their frustration at the state of the world into a bold statement against the influence of social media on society, while staying true to their mission of promoting mental health awareness. This band has never sounded as angry as they do now, and these 11 songs are impressive proof of how well that emotion suits them. Surely this is also what convinced Australia's finest, keyboardist MISSTIQ and Josh Collard from Earth Caller, to take part as feature artists on two tracks. OCEANS’ previous album Hell Is Where The Heart Is put the band on the road with international acts like Blind Channel in 2022, as well as supporting Annisokay in 2024. It’s safe to say that HAPPY will ignite massive mosh pits on their upcoming extensive European tour with Septicflesh in October 2024.

Timo Rotten | vocals, guitar
Patrick Zarske | guitar
