Jyväskylä, Finland (2005 – present)

Ghost Brigade is a five-piece metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2005. They have taken elements from melodic death metal, doom metal and progressive metal into their music. Wille Naukkarinen (guitars): “In Ghost Brigade, selling albums is not what it’s about. It’s about the feeling I get when I write a new song, which I only get when I know the song is good enough. The metaphor for that is “the fire”. That explains the title of the album. We are guided by fire.” A quote on their website states (by date of the debut release) “there’s nothing above or below us, no written word wise enough, just notes that carry the silent fire.”

Their album “Guided By Fire”, released in September 2007, consists of dark, intelligent music that hasn’t given up the ghost on being a metal band. Their second album “Isolation Songs”, to be released in August 2009, continues in this line.

For their debut album, Aleksi Munter of Swallow the Sun played keyboards as a session member for the band. Fredrik Nordin of the stoner rock band Dozer also did guest backing vocals on a track for their debut album.

Had the chance to see them live yesterday with Paradise Lost. Unfortunately they played only 30 minutes. Nevertheless, Into the black light is live #awesome #fleshcrawl

IS is seriously best releases of this year for me. It is just filled with emotion and power. I pretty much ignored it until MHIaT started ringing in my head after few spins and after that I have loved every song in it. CR, SotE & AoNB are best ones from IS, tho they might be others after week.

Was curious when reading your enthusiastic comments but got really disappointed listening to Ghost Brigade. Simple, often pretentious music without any emotional depth. Wasn't worth stop listening to the new Katatonia masterpiece. What's so special about GB?

enigma81581: Check out what I wrote few shouts earlier. Anyways, I sent you a PM. For others: I've improved lyrics since my last shout but they're not perfect. Far from that actually. Help is still needed!
