ABOUT GHØSTKID:
“Retrospectively, it was a very hard time, mentally. But I’m happy to speak openly about it. It was a time with feelings in between completely burning out and ‘everything is incredible’.”Looking back at the last six years, GHØSTKID has faced immense pressure, both personally and professionally. After a liberating start with his self-titled Century Media debut in 2020, there has never been a moment of silence in Sebastian “Sushi” Biesler’s mind. The following years took his solo project on tours with Bad Omens, Black Veil Brides, and Blind Channel, headline tours and performances at festivals like 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 deep 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,” says Sushi 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 between metalcore, nu-metal, alternative rock, and now 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 Sushi’s mind and offers unfiltered insights into his deepest thoughts and emotions. “Once you’re going down the rabbit hole, you’ll face many scary, weird, and disturbing things that will make you question your sanity. That’s what this album is all about.” Once again produced by long-time-collaborator Sky van Hoff, GHØSTKID’s third offering reignites Sushi’s versatile influences and shapes it into a modern sound. FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT is not just another fictional concept album, but a collection of eleven songs rooted in concrete situations of Sushi’s life. Through turbulent years of doubt and struggle, GHØSTKID has become a vessel. Not only for Sushi, but for a growing community that finds strength and relief in the honesty of his music. “Without GHØSTKID, the pressure would have been unbearable.” GHØSTKID IS:
