Search - The Hungry Ghost :: The Hungry Ghost

The Hungry Ghost's self-titled CD begins with "Haunted", a modern protest song with spooky synth interludes. It is narrated by a man who sounds slightly unhinged, whose belief system is being threatened by the "visions" and "voices" that disturb him. "Heaven is a Dark Place" dreams of an exotic paradise where angels "love to dress in black" and night is perpetual. With its trip hop beats, bluesy guitar hook, and rolling bassline, this is a song that's, as one DJ put it, "hard to get out of your head". Other highlights include "Evil Never Dies", a revenge fable with creepy dueling basslines. This track features a guest vocal by Detroit techno-goth artist The Impaler, who shows up to warn the listener, "luxury can be a vampire in disguise".
