Fresh out of Ottawa, Canada, Marble Ghosts is composed of a death metal drummer, an old-school metal bassist, a singer heavily influenced by 90s grunge, and a metalcore guitar player. The foursome are blending genres and generations into pure unadulterated rock.
On their debut single “Alone”, the band writes,
“‘Alone’ was written seven years ago and was sitting idle on a dying laptop. Adam (guitarist) resurrected the riff, adding pre-programmed drums and bass, providing the perfect canvas for Dylan (vocalist) to provide a vocal sample. From the first listen, Dylan knew he wanted to work with Adam. This was one of the first tracks the two worked on that would eventually become the project known as Marble Ghosts. Lyrically, ‘Alone’ represents both imagined and real fear. It was originally titled ‘No one can hear you scream’, and the idea behind it is how our own minds can create scenarios to frighten us, but our minds can also save us at the same time when real danger is present.”
The band is set to release their self-titled EP next year, and while their moniker nods to enduring historical statues, Marble Ghosts are poised to forge a distinct history and legacy of their own for all the right reasons.
