Depressive black metallers, Ghost Bath, have emerged from beyond the veil with their new album, Rose Thorn Necklace, which will be released on May 9 via Nuclear Blast Records. Free from the Moonlover-Starmourner-Self Loather conceptual trilogy, sole proprietor Nameless (aka Dennis Mikula) explores the most intense and introspective music from Ghost Bath’s oeuvre, advancing with blackened blasts and melancholic movements while moving his only child forward into the unknown.
The first preview from the album comes in the form of the title track single, “Rose Thorn Necklace”. Watch the video, directed by blo0m, below. Stream the single here.
Ghost Bath comments, “Rose Thorn Necklace is both beautiful and grotesque. It blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, exploring the contrast of something gorgeous and disgusting. I tried my best to not hold myself back – both musically and lyrically – and this is the result; depressive black metal with raw emotion, unique melodies, and textured synths.”
Rose Thorn Necklace was recorded in 2024 between January and June. The drums were recorded and engineered by Mike Heller at Heaven and Heller Studios while the remaining sections were completed by Nameless (Dennis Mikula) at his home studio. The album was mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley. The cover artwork was created by Ksenija Tarasova.
Rose Thorn Necklace is now available for pre-order in the following formats:
