Minot, North Dakota-based black metal band Ghost Bath have released an official visualizer video for the track ‘A Crystal Lattice’, which can be viewed below.
Ghost Bath issued fourth full-length studio album Self Loather on October 29th, 2021 in Europe through Northern Silence Productions. North American release will be handled by Nuclear Blast Records.
Frontman Dennis Mikula commented: “Self Loather was always a part of my creative vision. I had imagined this final record of the trilogy to be heavier, more devastating, dark, and vicious. It is by far the record most filled with hatred. The three basic human emotions I wanted to capture were tragedy (Moonlover, 2015), ecstasy (Starmourner, 2017), and dread/hatred (Self Loather). While at the same time, all of these express depression and sorrow. I believe in this record we found our sound.
“The original title was Sunloather, and though I hate the sun, I found that it did not fit with the theme of everything we were forming. There is something I hate much more than the sun. And so we made the decision to forego the cosmic prefix and replace it with the true nature of this album. Self.”
Self Loather was produced by the band with Xander Moser engineering at Tree Speak Recording Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota and mixed by Jack Shirley at The Atomic Garden Recording Studios in Oakland, California.
CJ McMahon of Thy Art Is Murder provides guest vocals on the track ‘Hide From The Sun’, while Graf of Psychonaut 4 provides guest vocals on the song ‘Sinew And Vein’. Violin and cello parts were composed and performed by John Ryan on the track ‘Sanguine Mask’, while ‘Hide From The Sun’ and ‘For It Is A Veil’ include guest vocals by Yasmyn Bonifacio.
Cover artwork was designed by Zdzisław Beksiński, and licensed through the Muzeum Historyczne w Sanoku.
