As I Am Ghost hit UK shores with their hard-hitting dark post-hardcore this month, the band also release the first UK single to be lifted from recent sophomore album, Those We Leave Behind this week. The crushing Bone Garden is a great representation of the album’s seamless melding of metal, melodic-hardcore and scream elements. Sweeping sing-along choruses are also integrated to startling effect.
Recorded with producer Paul Leavitt (Senses Fail, The Bled, Circa Survive) in Baltimore, MD, Those We Leave Behind contains fourteen turbulent tracks of brooding passion-fuelled rock infused with monstrously accessible hooks and Bone Garden is no exception.
After a line-up change in late 2007, Steve Juliano (vocals) along with Timoteo Rosales III (guitars), Ron Ficarro (bass) and Justin McCarthy (drums) have re-focused the band’s direction, returning to the powerful raw rock that inspired them to make music in the first place.
Blending fantasy and reality in his twisted tales of death and tragedy, Juliano seems to revel in showing the world’s beauty in decay on songs like the massive anthem Don’t Wake Up, the ode to the fallen Those We Leave Behind and the heart wrenching tale of The Saddest Story Never Told. Those We Leave Behind is a sonic stake in the heart of safe, conformist music, defiantly confirming I Am Ghost’s place among the scenes most elite bands.
With a re-energized passion and energy, I Am Ghost, have been unveiling their new music to their legion of fans on the band’s European tour this winter.

Dec-09 Glasgow Cathouse
Dec-10 Birmingham Barfly
