GHØSTKID’s music is a headlong dive into darkness and aggression. It aligns on new paradigms: baring its teeth while keeping a sense for catchy melodies. GHØSTKID is the new namesake of Sebastian “Sushi“ Biesler and a conspiracy of friends and like-minded allies who have come to a riot of their own: Steve Joakim (drums) from Sweden as well as Jan Marco Heinz (guitar), Chris Kisseler (guitar) and Stanislaw Czywil (bass).

When Sushi started to write for GHØSTKID in 2019, he was inspired by a steady diet of Fever 333 and Bring Me the Horizon, all of whom inspired him to meld together sundry sonic shades, touching on pop, metal, industrial and a hint of trap. It was the foundation for the shape of rock to come. Sushi, who initially started out as a guitarist, also picked up the mike for the band, joined then for the project by Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay) and co-producer Phil Sunday. Finally, renowned producer Sky van Hoff (Rammstein, Emigrate) came aboard to hammer into shape what would become GHØSTKID’s self-titled album debut. 

The band just released their second album called "Hollywood Suicide". Warning: this is music that doesn’t merely haunt your sensibilities. It’s a full-blown aural exorcism and a deafening harmony in your head.

Maz Univerze emerged from a conservative little town, where the blueprint to a traditional way of life was put into his cradle in 1999. It took a while for his beautiful, yet gory poetry notes to escape his bedroom drawer and for the pride flag to appear between metal posters.

Today, he puts his thoughts into an explosion of alternative emo-rap with references to punk and metal music. He mixes skillful rap with distorted screams and melodic hooks; creating a dark, yet hopeful form of expression. As Maz enters the stage, he ties audiences up into the limb of a giant marionette. A powerful collective beast that puts up a fight against social injustices and inspires one to accept their own darkness just as much as their light. This captivating live energy seems to have escaped from secrecy, earning him slots at iconic festivals such as Sziget Festival or ESNS and the award for “Best Live Performer” at the Luxembourg Music Awards in 2022.
