THE DEBUT ALBUM
HAVE A NICE DAY
The culmination of one of the most impressive and conscientious slow-builds in modern metal, the debut full-length album from Vermont-based three-piece Ghastly Sound is here.
Following a three-year stretch which saw the band drop two colossal and genre-bending EPs and a ripsaw video single while appearing at heavy tastemaker festivals like New England Stoner and Doom Fest and Psycho Las Vegas, Ghastly Sound is now ready to unleash HAVE A NICE DAY onto the heavy music landscape.
Recorded winter 2018 at Overit Studios in frigid upstate New York, Have A Nice Day was engineered by Dave Parker (ex-Coheed and Cambria), mixed by Adam Clairmont and mastered by Grammy winner Alan Douches.
Have A Nice Day showcases Ghastly Sound’s ability to merge sonic tributaries from head-buzzing stoner rock, melodic alt-metal and obliterating hardcore into a tsunami of inescapable infectiousness that needs no classification to get pounded into blissful submission by.
And, lest anyone forget, this slab of fine northern aggression is delivered by a band that accomplishes its gargantuan, adrenalized riff-mastery without the inclusion of a guitarist.
"Ghastly Sound’s fiery low-end rumble
will steal your heart...this is thunderous, alternative heavy rock that never sounds
like anything else."
"God damn this is one Hell of a frantically fun record, and the energy and passion doesn’t let out over the first three ragers."
"Fuses the barely-controlled chaos of classic Converge with the otherworldly, larger-than-life sonic vistas of the Deftones at their most melodious."
