OCEANDVST is a band from Thessaloniki, Greece, known for their raw honesty, emotional vulnerability, and ability to turn pain into connection. Blending soaring melodies, atmospheric heaviness, and deeply personal storytelling, the band creates music for anyone feeling lost in the chaos of their own emotions. 

Formed in 2017, OCEANDVST quickly built a reputation for their relentless energy, emotionally charged performances, and heartfelt lyricism surrounding mental health, isolation, and self-discovery. Drawing influence from emo and alternative icons like Paramore and My Chemical Romance while incorporating the cinematic intensity of Bring Me the Horizon and Bad Omens, the band has crafted a sound that feels both intimate and explosive. 

Their mission has always been simple: to make people feel understood. OCEANDVST’s live performances immerse audiences in stories of heartbreak, struggle, hope, and resilience, creating an atmosphere where listeners can see themselves reflected in every song. 

Some of the band’s biggest milestones to date include the release of their debut EP Escape Route (2017), their full-length album FLOATING (2021), and a string of singles released between 2019 and today. The band has also shared the stage with artists such as Palaye Royale and Smash Into Pieces while selling out multiple hometown performances across Greece. 

In 2026, OCEANDVST officially signed with LIFE OR DEATH and released the deluxe edition of Death Is An Open Door through the label, marking the beginning of a new era for the band as they continue expanding their reach worldwide
