The Ocean Get a New Drummer

by | Oct 31, 2013

The Ocean announced that they’ve added a new drummer to their lineup.

The band have recruited Paul Seidel of War From A Harlot’s Mouth to fill their vacant spot.

Seidel said, “I’m very pleased to officially announce, that i’ll be joining forces with THE OCEAN. I am glad, both musically and on a personal scale, to walk new paths and broaden my horizon. My personal approach has always been to overcome genre boundaries as well as stereotypes, to swim against the current and to play or enjoy music apart from conventional habits. THE OCEAN have ever since implemented a conceptual urge in the context of progressive music and have never been afraid to dare to experiment. Therefore i am more than looking forward to getting creative and contribute my part to the art of THE OCEAN.”

It was announced earlier this week that guitarist Jonathan Nido and drummer Luc Hess would be stepping down.
