The Ghost Of A Thousand have made ‘Bright Lights’ from forthcoming album ‘New Hopes, New Demonstrations’ available for free download from theghostof1000.com but only for the next two days!
Their second album will be released on legendary independent label Epitaph Records on 1st June. Be sure to get ‘Bright Lights’ while you can and check out the band’s brand new MySpace at myspace.com/theghostofathousand where you can also hear new track ‘Running On Empty’.
Having kicked, screamed and fought their way out of Brighton, England in early 2007 with their debut full-length ‘This Is Where The Fight Begins’, The Ghost Of A Thousand have rapidly become one of the UK’s most valuable and unique musical assets, thanks to their unhinged, uncompromising and utterly invigorating style.
Having spent the last couple of years challenging old perceptions of what British hardcore was made of - collecting a Kerrang! Award nomination and a place in Q Magazine’s Top Five metal bands, along the way - TGOAT are back with new material that doesn’t just tear up the rule book, it sets it ablaze and leaves it on your doorstep in a middle of the night drive by.
The band’s forthcoming second album New Hopes, New Demonstrations was recorded in Stockholm’s Studio Grondahl in the winter of 2008, under the watchful gaze of Pelle Gunnerfeldt [The Hives, Refused].
