Ghostchant

Ghostchant is an initiative of five, experienced underground musicians from Budapest, Hungary, who gathered together in the winter of 2012 to create aggressive and non-compromising music to pay tribute to their influences drawn from the past three decades of heavy and politically/socially aware underground icons. From black metal through punk to hardcore, these five gents threw everything in the mix when creating their heavy and distorted sound. Norbert Czetvitz, guitarist of Hungarian flagship doom / death / hardcore band Nadir and Zoltan Jakab, former vocalist of hardcore / metal bands Newborn and Bridge To Solace have been longtime friends and decided in the summer of 2012 to start a band together honouring their friendship and mutual interest in heavy music with a message. The two-man effort quickly transformed into a band with the addition of bassist Daniel Kosa (Nadir, Our Existence Is Punishment, Planet Void) and the drummer of Mate Kocsis (The Idoru). Gabor Nagy (Newborn / The Idoru) joined shortly after to play in a band with Jakab again after the 2002 demise of their influential hardcore band, Newborn. With two releases under their belt (Slaves EP – January 2014 and a split 7” with Wasted Struggle – August 2014), the band debuted live in December 2014 to high critical acclaim. Early 2015 followed with the band's 2nd EP, Nations and their first trip out of country with Blank from Germany. While the group won’t be a regularly touring band, keep your eyes open for them to pop up randomly here and there. http://ghostchantbp.bandcamp.com http://ghostchantbp.bigcartel.com http://www.youtube.com/user/ghostchantbp http://twitter.com/ghostchantbp budapest hardcore / metal / punk
