Daring, captivating, and engaging are all words that describe emerging band Ghost Wounds. Hailing from eastern Pennsylvania, Ghost Wounds have taken the music industry by storm. They are raw, and they are known for a sound that has a nostalgic 90s rock influence with gritty undertones. The band is made up of Chris Eckhart (Guitar, Vocals), Cale Muffley (Bass), & Jonathan Roth (Drums, Vocals). After catching my attention earlier this week, they debut on our pages with their debut project, “Slow Apocalypse EP”.
“Slow Apocalypse EP” is a transformative project that is carried by 3 captivating records that discuss personal, national, & global devastation. “Fate of Lust” has an alluring intro that features an eerie guitar riff before incorporating engaging percussion. The hook on this record is commanding, and I loved the overall sonic progression. This is a song that will make you want to run through a brick wall. If you’re a fan of angsty records carried by twangy guitars & distortion, you will love this song.
“Crossed Heirs” has a groove that is almost hypnotic, and it is carried a sludgy bassline complimented by jangling guitars. Lyrically, the verses offered so much insight into the psyche of the band, and they transitioned well into the chorus. My personal favorite was “Inferno”. Like the saying goes, you always save the best for last. This fiery record is the ultimate stop. From start to finish, this song is flawless. From the production to the vocal delivery, this was the most complete song on the project. Overall, this EP was a great introduction to the band, and I hope to hear more.
