The Ghost Inside announce new self-titled album

THE GHOST INSIDE have announced a new album!

The upcoming album, a self-titled effort, is the band’s first new album since 2014’s Dear Youth, and will be the first release since their tragic bus accident in 2015.

The upcoming album was 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.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming record; titled Aftermath. Speaking about the new song, bassist Jim Riley says, “we went into the writing process knowing full well that every song and every lyric would be influenced by what we’ve been through, but we tried our best for them to be relatable to everyone. With Aftermath we let it be much more personal – this one is us telling OUR story. So when it was time to choose a first song to share with the world, it felt right for it to be Aftermath. It allows anyone that listens into our world, but it also lets us put final punctuation on that chapter of our lives. Aftermath is a total catharsis for us. We let it all out in the song so that it’s not bottled up inside us anymore and we can heal and move on, since after all, the beat goes on.”
