“Retrospectively, it was a very hard time, mentally. But I’m happy to speak openly about it,” Ghøstkid’s Sebastian “Sushi” Biesler said. “It was a time with feelings in between completely burning out and ‘everything is incredible.'”
After releasing Ghøstkid’s self-titled Century Media debut in 2020, there has never been a moment of silence in Biesler’s mind. The following years took his solo project on tours with Bad Omens, Black Veil Brides and Blind Channel, and headline tours and performances at festivals such Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze, yet his mind kept playing tricks on him. Success came with doubts and pressure fueled by financial struggles, leadership responsibilities, mental health and self-reflections through turbulent years.
“I’ve learned a lot, made just as many mistakes, and truly underestimated what it means to stand on your own feet,” said Biesler, who reached a turning point in mid-2026.
After parting ways with his bandmates, he found new people to share his vision of a modern mix of metalcore, nu-metal and alternative rock, and now he embarks on a new album cycle. Referring to Lewis Carroll’s children’s novel “Alice in Wonderland” and the computer game “American McGee’s Alice,” “Follow the White Rabbit” is a journey through Biesler’s mind and offers unfiltered insights into his deepest thoughts and emotions.
“Once you’re going down the rabbit hole,” he said, “you’ll face many scary, weird, and disturbing things that will make you question your sanity. That’s what this album is all about.”
Produced by longtime-collaborator Sky van Hoff, Ghøstkid’s third offering reignites Biesler’s versatile influences and shapes it into a modern sound. The album a collection of 11 songs rooted in concrete situations of his life.
