Ghosts III
ERAASeraasgroup.com
Brooklyn-based ERAAS will be heading out on tour with Trust (you may remember us covering Trust when they were here in Minneapolis, opening for The Faint) this February and March.
ERAAS’ album is self-titled and their single, “Ghost”, premiered on Pitchfork last month.
If you saw the music video for “Ghost”, it’s based/inspired on the Jacques-Louis David’s 1793 painting “The Death of Marat.”
Tour kicks off February 22nd (all dates with Trust):

Sweden’s Ghost (aka Ghost B.C. in America) announced their sophomore album, Infestissumam, coming out April 9th, 2013, via Loma Vista Recordings. “Secular Haze” is the lead single, coming out February 19th.
The heavy metal band is known for their live shows, five of the group’s six members wear hooded robes, while the singer sings with a cardinal costume and a skull mask…. giving off this very satanic look to them.
Musically, they’re compared to Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult.
They’re still finalizing dates, right now, only Coachella is confirmed for their “Haze Over North America 2013” tour. Below is a listing from their tour flyer:

UNIFIER
unifiermusic.com Greensboro’s Unifier used to be named Future Ghosts. Not sure why they changed their name, I can only guess there was another band with that name or they really hated their old name. Their album, Colorado, was just released today (February 12th). Stream the whole album on Amp Magazine. |
