ALBUM REVIEW: Knox Chandler - The Sound - Ghost Cult Magazine

1 week ago | ghostcultmag.com | Duncan Evans

Knox Chandler may not be a household name, but over the years, he has played guitar for some very famous artists, including Siouxie And The Banshees and The Psychedelic Furs. He has also worked with other artists, including R.E.M., Depeche Mode, and Grace Jones. The Sound (Blue Elastic) is Chandler’s debut solo release, and it is accompanied by an art book (which I have not had access to).
ALBUM REVIEW: Strawberry Fuzz - Miller’s Garage - Ghost Cult Magazine

1 week ago | ghostcultmag.com | Justice Petersen

Venice Beach punk natives Strawberry Fuzz share their new album Miller’s Garage (CandyShop Management). The new album directly follows the band’s 2023 LP Strongs Dr. Ever since making their musical debut in 2021 with the album Fuzz Tapes, Vol. 1, Strawberry Fuzz have cemented themselves as an unprecedented force to be reckoned with among the Los Angeles surf/skate punk scene.
ALBUM REVIEW: Steve Von Till - Alone in a World of Wounds - Ghost Cult Magazine

3 weeks ago | ghostcultmag.com | Duncan Evans

Steve Von Till probably needs little introduction to most Ghost Cult Magazine readers. His hugely influential work with post-metal icons Neurosis needs no further elaboration here. What people may be less aware of, though, is that Von Till has been releasing solo records since 2000. Indeed, Alone in a World of Wounds (Neurot Recordings) is his sixth solo offering to date.
ALBUM REVIEW: Ghost - Skeletá - Ghost Cult Magazine

1 month ago | ghostcultmag.com | Justice Petersen

Ghost has released their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Skeletá (Loma Vista Recordings). Following the release of their 2022 record Impera, Ghost’s latest full-length record arrives at a turbulent time for the band, one where a new supreme leader, Papa V Perpetua, reigns.
ALBUM REVIEW: The Atrocity Circus - Malpractice - Ghost Cult Magazine

1 month ago | ghostcultmag.com | Duncan Evans

The Atrocity Circus is a transatlantic collective featuring Dan Dolby (Mastiff, Catafalque, Sulphur Nurse), Thomas Ott (Gnarl, Catafalque, The Dead Yesterdays), and existent/nonexistent. Malpractice (Cursed Monk Records) is their debut full-length release, following an EP released in 2022. The music here is uncomprimisingly noisy, harsh, and abrasive.
ALBUM REVIEW: Niis - Niis World - Ghost Cult Magazine

1 month ago | ghostcultmag.com | Justice Petersen

Los Angeles-based hardcore punk group Niis released their debut full-length album, Niis World, via Get Better Records. After signing on with the label last year they released the single “Lovesick” in November 2024, conveying a grungier new era for Niis. At the beginning of this year, the band announced that their inaugural LP, Niis World, would soon arrive.
ALBUM REVIEW: Little Annie - With - Ghost Cult Magazine

1 month ago | ghostcultmag.com | Duncan Evans

Since the late seventies, Annie Bandez (known as Little Annie) has carved out a singular path as a singer, painter, and performance artist. Over the years she has collaborated with many luminaries of the Alternative music scene. With (Cold Spring) is a compilation that brings together many of Annie’s key collaborations on one record for the first time. The songs here are as diverse as they are powerfully moving. Holding them all together is Annie’s tender and fragile smoke-tinged voice.
ALBUM REVIEW: Jivebomb - Ethereal - Ghost Cult Magazine

2 months ago | ghostcultmag.com | Justice Petersen

Baltimore-based hardcore punk group Jivebomb released their debut full-length record Ethereal via Flatspot Records. Clocking in at just 15 minutes, the group’s inaugural LP is a heavy-hitting, unrelenting body of work that cements the group as one of the genre’s most brutal and poetic up-and-coming acts. Following the start of the pandemic, Jivebomb made their musical debut with the release of their 2021 EP Demo. The following year, their sophomore EP, Primitive Desires, arrived.
ALBUM REVIEW: Kazea - I. Ancestral - Ghost Cult Magazine

2 months ago | ghostcultmag.com | Duncan Evans

Formed by two former members of Orochen (Jonas Mattsson and Rasmus Lindblom) plus Daniel Olsson of Hellsongs, Kazea have existed since 2023, and I. Ancestral (Suicide Records) is their debut album. The music on the record is perhaps surprisingly diverse. The opener “With A Knife” is hung around two spoken-word samples and features a swirling and building neofolk-style guitar ostinato.
