Iain H Wow! What an evolution in sound from this band. They've quickly become an obsession for me. Love the quiet-loud-quiet dynamic, especially as the loud gets louder and heavier throughout. Yet, they're not afraid to embrace melody and work with space. Hypnotic stuff. Favorite track: House of Falling Ash.

Obstacle of Affliction Crunchy rifts, mesmerizing harmonic atmospheres, hypnotic rhythms, and wonderful vocals will ascend your mind into the clouds.
Chrome Ghost surpass their previous heights with this release. I have loved all their releases before and am blow away by this one.
Outstanding! Favorite track: House of Falling Ash.

binomess I wasn't sure that they would be able to top the amazing Diving Bell but they may very well have done so by evolving their sound while simultaneously keeping everything in place that makes them great!

Ed OCasey What impresses me most about Chrome Ghost is their ability to compose music that is distinctly theirs—heavy, artful, full of emotion—while continuing to surprise. There are more unexpected twists and turns in this album than you can shake a stick at. Each one surprises yet makes perfect sense in the light of their growth from “Choir” to now. I assume that one day they’ll release an album I don’t enjoy, but I’ll probably be long dead before that ever happens. Favorite track: The Furnace.

dawn amber washes over all corruption unspoken secrets hidden far from waking downed angels rest among the willows, mourning what lay beyond crested hills? bleeding roses caged in thorn sway like dancers in the breeze meadows where the black dogs dream under swollen, graying sky buried, my love only grows though in the dark, it may pale hope to let go pray when my eyes close, i see nothing
2.
The Furnace 08:36
rose of the lonesome valley don your thorned halo dew drops and melancholy wounding a morning sunbeam could it all be for nothing? to live in endless worry? wishing and desperate to escape though it never comes to pass, i will wait beckoned by the fire's light, i pray for rain though it never comes to pass, i will wait plague dogs circle the flames stoke them higher and higher pain makes fools of us yet to shatter the hollow man and burn away to let it all go

4.
barren black skies glowing smoke and ember cloak the waiting eyes of lovers distant shadows calling O, their broken half remembered cries are long gone buried and forgotten i ache to bloom under falling ashes and rays of gold where is my protector? from all corrupt ever do i wander no home, no hope no home, no hope the blowing wind carries the song of dogs dreaming and leaving the known to let it all go long gone no home, no hope to let it all go

Lo, our blessed precious things return deformed on broken wings here they lay sound asleep the body in ruins our guardian will fall the house in ashes our memories long gone what lay beyond crested hills? downed angels laid in rows untold secrets in their graves see how heaven hangs low

about

VINYL AVAILABLE THRU SEEING RED RECORDS!
chromeghost-us.bandcamp.com

in our follow up to the (shockingly) successful record The Diving Bell, we wanted to keep exploring sounds and figure out how we can keep ourselves and our audience excited about this music.

House of Falling Ash is our longest record, our most sonically ambitious record, (with pedal steel guitar, arpeggiated synths, mellotron) but also our most thematically ambitious record. this loosely-formed concept record is about a sort of dreamscape of the unconscious where the pain and secrets of our lives rest locked away in a decrepit home choked in roses and encircled by guard dogs. this pain has nowhere to go and the world (and the house) are crumbling around it and threaten to go down in flames.

our long-time collaborator pat hills returned to engineer this record as well as lending his talents to multiple instruments. the furnace features the second appearance of CHRCH's eva rose to bring her flamethrowing vocals. the fourth track, where black dogs dream, features a gorgeous interlude by yseulde, and a climactic last third with vocals from brume's susie mcmullin. basically, we called in the cavalry on this one.

FOR BEST RESULTS INCREASE VOLUME

love you all, thanks for everything
