On their latest track “The Bloody Purse Of Closed Eyes” Ghast unleash a scorching slab of social commentary that tramples upon societal ills beneath a stampede of double kick devastation, heaving riffs and venomous vocals.
Hailing from Port Elizabeth in South Africa Ghast specialize in bludgeoning Metalcore and are at the forefront of the modern resurgence of the form with their patented blend of sledgehammer grooves and punishing rhythms.
“The Bloody Purse Of Closed Eyes” is Ghast at their most lethal and deadly. This explosive track features a central riff that would make The Acacia Strain blush with its blunt force trauma- like bounce and chunky weight.
There is no pretense when it comes to the pummeling Metalcore Ghast unleash and this is evidenced in their latest track which combines manic shrieking; aka Knocked Loose, roaring vitriol; aka Cultist and the type of streamlined rhythmic swagger evidenced in the sonic exploits of Emmure and Bodysnatcher et al.
With the aforementioned in tow Ghast remain their own unique entity and will lay siege to your being with their blistering assault on ignorance and separatist rhetoric. Listen and burn!
