Death metal meets breathtaking melodic clarity in one of Finland’s quirkiest exports to date. Founded in 2005, Ghost Brigade toy intelligently with a genre-bending mix of crushing riffs and haunting atmospherics. Having snagged cult status with debut outing ‘Guided By Fire’, the quintet was further enriched by the doomy talents of Swallow The Sun keyboardist Aleksi Munter. Holed up in an island off the coast of Helsinki, Ghost Brigade recorded ‘Isolation Songs’ in 2008, capturing an otherworldly vibe peppered with snarling fits of aggression. Straddling doom, death metal and lofty symphonies, this monstrous hybrid is guaranteed to befuddle purists and bewitch anyone with an appetite for savagely beautiful music.
