New Music Recommendations

Sticking to this week’s unintentional theme of heavy music, the New York quintet Ghost Chant are here with a new EP. If you miss Melodic Hardcore like I do, Hell May Await Me, fills that void. Very interested to see what this crew does next. FFO: Counterparts, Johnny Booth, No Home, Saving Face, Foreign Hands.
