Ghost is an experimental project from Bourg-en-Bresse, France, formed in 2013, blending black metal, doom, and experimental elements into an unorthodox sonic palette. Their approach defies easy categorization, drawing from multiple extreme genres.
Ghost Awaits the Night is an American black and folk metal project that draws on ancient, pastoral imagery to balance ferocity with haunting natural beauty. Since 2019, they've cultivated an atmospheric sound that bridges the wilderness and the void.
Formed in the bleak flatlands of Minot, North Dakota, Ghost Bath emerged in 2013 as one of the most emotionally raw voices in depressive post-black metal. Their shimmering, tear-soaked tremolo lines and tortured shrieking vocals frame a sound that sits somewhere between suicidal black metal and transcendent beauty.
Ghost Booster is a heavy/groove metal band from Cosenza in Calabria, formed in 2014. They deliver riff-driven heavy and groove metal from southern Italy.
Ghost Brigade is a post-metal and melodic death-doom band from Jyväskylä, Finland, active from 2005 to 2020, creating heavy, mournful music that blends the distinctly Finnish sound of sorrow with the vast drone of post-metal. Their discography includes Isolation Songs, Until Fear No Longer Defines Us, and IV: One with the Storm, featuring plaintive vocals exploring themes of loss.
Out of Laurens, South Carolina, Ghost Creek traffic in the slowest and most suffocating end of funeral doom — dirges that move like sediment through still water, heavy with grief and geological patience. Founded in 2019, their music invites total surrender to the weight.
Ghost Empire is a sludge/doom metal band from the Prato/Florence area of Tuscany, formed in 2014. They deliver crushing sludge and doom from the Tuscan heartland.
Bradner, Ohio's Ghost Eyes fuse black metal hostility with the confrontational energy of hardcore, arriving at a sound that is as ugly and airless as a condemned building. Active since 2019, the band makes no concessions to comfort or melody.
Nashville's Ghost Gore have been carving up the Tennessee underground since 2017, delivering no-frills death metal built on grinding riffs, blunt-force percussion, and vocals pitched somewhere between a growl and a threat. The city's country credentials mean nothing here.
