Ghost Bath have announced their first-ever headline show.
The gig will take place at London’s Sebright Arms on May 16 and will come after the band’s run of support slots with Katatonia the same month.
The dates have been lined up in support of their new album Starmourner, which is out on April 21 via Nuclear Blast. The record is the final part of a trilogy that started with 2014’s Funeral and continues on 2015’s Moonlover.
The 72-minute album is said to be “heavy, melodic, and dramatic black metal” and explore “joy instead of sorrow, the cosmos instead of Earth, paradise instead of purgatory and, most importantly, it explores ecstasy instead of tragedy, as its basic human emotion.”
Each of the 12 tracks is accompanied by a painting and a story to read alongside.
Vocalist Nameless says: “The stories, or parables, look into Jewish angelology and the hierarchy of angels as found in the bible and other religious texts.
“Although the album has a definitive joyful and hopeful feel, it is still drenched in depression and sorrow, as any true Ghost Bath record should be.”
The band recently released a stream of Thrones from Starmourner which is now available for pre-order. Listen to it below, along with a list of the band’s upcoming live shows. Tickets for Ghost Bath’s headline show are now available via MyTicket.
