Ghoul - Dungeon Bastards

Ghoul announce new album 'Dungeon Bastards,' share "Ghoulunatics"

Oakland neo-thrash crew Ghoul have announced plans for a new album and shared a new song. The album is called Dungeon Bastards and it drops on July 29th via Tankcrimes. The song is called “Ghoulunatics,” and its a straight-ahead thrash banger as we’ve come to expect from these guys.

Always ones to place an emphasis on catchiness and melody, this song pulls straight from the Metallica playbook for the verse sections but has plenty more hooks to throw from seemingly every direction. And of course there’s a guitar solo. A good one. This is about as fun and theatrical as modern thrash bands get, and it has me very excited for the full-length.

Ghoul are heading out on that awesome tour with Carcass, Crowbar and Night Demon, which hits NYC on August 4 at Gramercy Theatre. Tickets for that are still on sale.
