Ghost at the gallows (CD, fra Spirit Adrift

Appears in a jewel case.

'Death has been a close and personal part of my life since childhood. When I started writing Ghost at the Gallows, the specter of death was as present as ever. This album navigates a world where ghosts are real and haunt us in the forms of grief, trauma, and loss. Despite the theme, the songs are not only somber dirges. The music is diverse and dynamic, ranging from melancholic, Southern Rock-infused acoustic passages to aggressive speed metal attacks... and everything in between. And as with every entry in the Spirit Adrift catalog, the lyrics are about finding the good in the bad, the strength in weakness, and the hope in darkness. It wasn't until I finished the record that I realized all stages of grief are represented on this album. Perhaps these songs were my unconscious attempt to ease my own grieving process. Either way, this album helps me, and I hope it helps others who need it too.' - Nate Garrett
