Brand new debut EP from Ghost Wounds

Newcomers Ghost Wounds is a compelling trio hailing from eastern Pennsylvania, who are formed by a fusion of seasoned talents, drawing from an array of former bands including Speedwell, Meredith Bragg + the Terminals, Carpenter Ant, Sound of Reverse and Wondertaker. Featuring the talents of Chris Eckhart on guitar and vocals, Cale Muffley on bass and Jonathan Roth on drums and vocals, Ghost Wounds channels their collective experience into a powerful new project.

Now, unveiling their sound to the world for the first time, they make their entrance with their debut EP titled Slow Apocalypse EP. Across the three tracks on the EP, they deliver a potent mix of personal, national and global reflections wrapped up in their enthralling modern rock sound.

The Slow Apocalypse EP marks a notable introduction to Ghost Wounds’ artistic vision, available both as a three-song digital release and a two-song vinyl seven-inch. The split release via Better Living Through Records and Engineer Records sets the band up for an inevitable rise.

Opened by “Fate of Lust,” the EP starts with the delicate twang of guitar notes before the crash of drums ushers in the lead vocal. Delivers with rhythm punch and cut with stabbing chords of gritty guitars, the chorus launches into an epic alternative rock anthem brimming with splashing drums, crunchy guitars and commanding vocals.

“Crossed Hairs” follows with the grooving strike of drums and pulse of bass guitar to set up a psyechedlic-tinged rock out filtered through a sepia toned lens. With moody vocal leads spinning intense melodic leads, the track erupts into a raucous explosion of storming sonic energy, once again showcasing the band’s knack for flowing from intricate verses and rousing choruses, resulting in another memorable rock jam that’s energising and gripping from start to finish.

The final track on the EP, “Inferno,” sees the band cast a slick rhythm of snapping drums and brooding clean guitar tones that builds into a thrilling punk rock sound packed full of pounding rhythms, and angsty vocal performance. With once final outing of their bold, high-octane sound, it’s a riveting finale to the band’s incredible first release.

Having made their artistic intentions clear on Slow Apocalypse EP, Ghost Wounds have staked their claim as a must-watch newcomer trio that’s sure to win over fans around the world with their extraordinary sound. With original songwriting flair and the musicianship panache to bring it to life, we can’t wait to see what this exciting new outing has in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
