NEWS: Great American Ghost make it three from three with “Lost In The Outline”!

Having already given us two singles in “Hymn Of Decay” and “Forsaken“, Great American Ghost are now preparing to unveil their first album “Tragedy Of The Commons” with new label home SharpTone Records. A 31st January appearance has been set for the Will Putney (Knocked Loose, Body Count, Fit For An Autopsy) produced record with the Metallic Hardcore crew unveil “Lost In The Outline” as a third cut from it.

Vocalist Ethan Harrison: “We are a political band, and we always have been. We integrate ‘extreme views’ into what we do, which is ‘extreme music’. Rather than write another generally political album, we tried to play into broader themes of hopelessness. Normal people are losing control on a constant basis. Tragedy Of The Commons is a statement about exploitation. If two people share finite resources, one person will eventually exploit those resources and hurt the other person. Citizens don’t have enough money to eat and live in this country, but our government is spending billions on funding other armies around the world that are being used to kill other poor people. Tragedy Of The Commons boils down to this fundamental exploitation of the less fortunate.”

Guitarist Grayson Stewart adds: “As a human, you’re often just a rat on a wheel. You’re moving forward in your perspective, but you’re never actually accomplishing anything. ‘Lost In The Outline’ gets into the lies you’re told when you’re young. You come to this realization that you have no agency over what happens to you or what you do. You’re a cog in the machine.”
