Vocalist Loïc Rossetti will be exiting The Ocean following their June 21 set at Hellfest in Clisson, France. This news comes after guitarist David Ramis Åhfeldt and drummer Paul Seidel recently left the group.

Rosetti commented:

“What a wild ride these 16 years have been! As you might’ve heard, I’m stepping down as vocalist of The Ocean and Hellfest will be my final show with the band.

To everyone who’s been there from sweaty basement gigs to festivals, your support kept this fire burning. Some of you became real friends along the way. Never saw that coming. Thank you.

This decision is mine. Over time, our visions and creative paths naturally drifted. Without diving too deep into it, I’ve realized I’m no longer meant to be part of this particular dynamic. No drama, just heading in different directions.

The Ocean will carry on, and I wish them well. I’m proud of what we built. Big thanks to Robin, my bandmates, every crew member, my wife and family and everyone who helped make this journey possible.

As for me, I’m diving into something new and bringing all this energy with me. I’m stoked for whatever madness comes next.

Horns up, you beautiful lunatics. Thanks for making all this chaos worth it. Keep backing the bands you dig and stay safe out there.

Peace”
