Depressive black metallers GHOST BATH have emerged
from beyond the veil with their new album, Rose Thorn
Necklace, through long-time partner Nuclear Blast. Free
from the Moonlover-Starmourner-Self Loather conceptual
trilogy, sole proprietor Nameless (aka Dennis Mikula) explores
the most intense and introspective GHOST BATH’s
oeuvre, advancing with blackened blasts and melancholic
movements while moving his only child forward into the
unknown. Hoisted into the firmament by the shimmering
‘Vodka Butterfly’ and the dissonant bliss of ‘Well, I Tried
Drowning’ on one end and lowered into Mikula’s personal
abyss with ‘Dandelion Tea’ and the riveting title track on
the other, Rose Thorn Necklace is absolute danger and
haunting beauty.[info sheet from distr.]
