About The Ghost Inside by The Ghost Inside

Metalcore band The Ghost Inside's fifth studio album is out now via Epitaph Records. The self-titled album arrives as the follow-up to the band’s 2014 release Dear Youth , which debuted #63 on the Billboard 200, and will be the first release since their tragic bus accident in 2015. The road to recovery has been extensive both mentally and physically but all things considered, they’ve shown a positive and inspiring attitude through the entire process of recovery. They will not stop fighting to do what they love and are excited to return.

Created with producer Will Putney (Every Time I Die, The Amity Affliction, Knocked Loose) and longtime friend/collaborator Jeremy McKinnon of A Day To Remember, The Ghost Inside is 11 songs of determination, deep resolve, reflection, and newfound hope.

The band had worked on material for their fifth album prior to the accident that claimed the lives of their driver, the lives of everyone in the other vehicle, and resulted in multiple injuries for all of the band members. Jonathan Vigil (vocals) suffered from a fractured back, ligament damage, and two broken ankles. Zach Johnson (guitar) has since had 13 surgeries for a femur injury. Andrew Tkaczyk (drums) ultimately lost his leg. The band collectively came to see the ordeal as a moment to put their inspirational lyrics to the test. Songs that were once more philosophical in origin had become autobiographical.

The accident will always be a defining moment for The Ghost Inside, but never what defines them. The album taps into the raw emotional things they’ve been through, but the songs are not about reliving the worst day of their lives. “This isn’t about what happened to us,” Riley insists. “We won’t get lost in that one day. This is about our journey, our growth, and who we are.”

The ultimate victory for The Ghost Inside is their triumphant new self-titled album.

History [ ]

As A Dying Dream, they released an EP, Now or Never on Frontline Records . A year later, they signed to Mediaskare Records , where they re-recorded and re-released the EP with an additional track and bonus live footage. Not long after, they changed their name to The Ghost Inside, and released a full length studio album entitled Fury and the Fallen Ones .

Their second album, titled Returners , was released on June 8, 2010 via Mediaskare Records.

On February 24, 2011, it was announced that KC Stockbridge and The Ghost Inside mutually parted ways and that Andrew Tkaczyk had been filling in on drums. Andrew was formerly the drummer and main songwriter in the band For the Fallen Dreams . [1] As of January 10, 2012, the band has been signed to Epitaph Records . [2]

In 2012, the band headlined the Alternative Press Tour along with Miss May I .

Their first release for Epitaph Records Get What You Give was produced by A Day to Remember 's vocalist Jeremy McKinnon [3] and debuted at No. 88 on the Billboard Top 200. [4]

In 2013, the band toured the world with their breakthrough album, Get What You Give .

On September 8, 2014 the band released a new song - "Avalanche". [5] And on September 16, 2014 Spotify leaked details of their new album Dear Youth .

On November 17, 2014, their second release for Epitaph Records, Dear Youth , was released and debuted at No 63. on the Billboard Top 200.

On January 9, 2015, The Ghost Inside posted on their Facebook page that they are parting ways with founding member and lead guitarist Aaron Brooks, leaving Jonathan Vigil as the last original member in the current lineup.

On the morning of November 19, 2015, the band's tour bus collided head on with a tractor trailer while headed west to Mesa, Arizona on U.S. Highway 180, eight miles east of the border patrol checkpoint outside of El Paso, Texas . [6] The drivers of both vehicles died, while the remaining ten people on the bus survived. Jonathan Vigil, Zach Johnson, Andrew Tkaczyk and two others were hospitalized in critical condition. [7] On January 13, 2016, vocalist Jonathan Vigil posted his first update since the accident: on Instagram, he stated his injuries and his gratefulness "to be alive". [8] The next day, drummer Andrew Tkaczyk confirmed via his Instagram account that the accident had resulted in him losing one of his legs following an initial ten-day coma. [9]

On March 22, 2016, during the livestream of the Warped Tour band announcement of that year, it was announced that The Ghost Inside would play Warped 2017. An announcement that far in advance was unprecedented. They were the first band announced for the tour in 2017. [10] On March 23, 2016, Chris Davis, formally of Texas in July , was announced as official member after touring during 2015. [11]

Musical style, influences and songwriting [ ]

The Ghost Inside's music is usually classified as metalcore [12] or melodic hardcore . [13] They have self-identified as melodic hardcore, for example on their Facebook page. However, bassist and backing vocalist Jim Riley stated in a 2013 interview that "to [him] the band is a metalcore band" and that they're "similar to Unearth or As I Lay Dying or something like that, with a little bit less guitar solos and a little bit less singing". [12] He said that they are influenced by "an older generation of bands" such as Throwdown , Bury Your Dead (especially Beauty and the Breakdown ), Misery Signals , Killswitch Engage , Unearth (especially The Oncoming Storm ) and Bleeding Through , some of which he considers "seminal to what metalcore is", as well as modern music that isn't necessarily heavy (such as pop punk ), and that he himself listens "to a lot of emo ". [12] In a 2009 interview, vocalist Jonathan Vigil stated that he grew up listening to punk rock bands such as NOFX and Less Than Jake before getting into heavier bands such as Hatebreed and Slipknot , while guitarist Aaron Brooks said that he listened to bands like Bad Religion before getting into Poison the Well , that one of his favourite bands currently are Comeback Kid and that he also appreciates Hatebreed. [14]

Riley stated that when writing a song, the band usually puts the instrumentation together first, before vocalist Jonathan Vigil and guitarist Aaron Brooks write lyrics for it. He also noted that the decision to use clean vocals in some songs of Get What You Give , such as "Engine 45", came from the band and wasn't forced by producer Jeremy McKinnon . [12]
