This came totally out of the blue. From Jyväskylä, Finland, comes Ghost Brigade, including members from both Revolt and the great Sunride. There’s also guest appearances made by Aleksi Munter from Swallow The Sun and Fredrik from Swedish stoner band Dozer.

After listening through their debut demo a couple of times this band seems to be members’ way for letting out the more aggressive and destructive riffs and emotions. Songs hold a great deal of catchy hooks and more easier parts, but still the overall feeling is violent enough to make me stay on the other side of the road if met on the bridge of Kuokkala after dark… Plus this includes Manne Ikonen as vocalist: those clean parts on “Hold On Thin Line” gives me a major Paraxism flashback.

Swallow The Sun started out as a project and look where they are now. Listening to this demo, I sense something familiar, as if something will eventually happen.
