Review GHØSTKID “Follow the White Rabbit”
Ghøstkid are still a relatively young band. Sebastian Biesler started the project in 2020 after leaving Eskimo Callboy. The self-titled debut arrived that same year, and having Heaven Shall Burn frontman Marcus Bischoff contribute vocals to “Supernova” certainly helped put the band on the radar a little faster. After Hollywood Suicide landed in 2024, the third Ghøstkid... Continue Reading →

“Upperhand” draws from the eerie, paranormal world of the game, turning the tension of CONTROL Resonant into a dark, cinematic metal anthem.
