Ghost Of A Thousand join Epitaph for new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 19 February 2009
UK hardcore up and comers The Ghost Of A Thousand have announced they have signed a worldwide deal with legendary punk label Epitaph to release their second album, ‘New Hopes, New Demonstrations’, which will hit stores on 1 Jun.
Vocalist Tom Lacey told CMU: “I’m over the moon to be joining Epitaph. It’s a huge deal to be a part of a label that has shaped punk rock in such a massive way, and I feel even better about the fact that our new record has a great home. We’re not resting on our laurels though. The proper hard work starts now. We’ve been welcomed in by the staff like a new family member, so we can’t let our folks down, we’re going to do them proud”.
Of the new album, he said: “NHND is still very heavy, heavier than [debut album] ‘…Fight…’ in places, but its whole feel is a lot sadder, and its mood changes all the time. This album could have been a straight up sing-a-long catchy hardcore record, but it’s very much not and I think that will come as a shock to some people. I’d like to think that the perception of us as a band within a scene will be blown apart now – the new stuff doesn’t to me feel like anything that other bands are doing right now”.
