Ghosthunter

About Me

Ghosthunter is a straightforward band that prides itself in having a no-nonsense approach to heavy rock music. The band's compositions are considered to be truly original. They are not trying to reinvent the wheel; instead, they delve deep into the catacombs of modern music and interject sounds of various influence into their songs. Their live performances showcase a solid delivery that will leave you wanting more. Audience members have been known to find themselves the next morning in a pool of their own blood and piss.The lineup of Ghosthunter is what makes it all work so perfectly. Sam of Thunder (Revision, Driven to Oblivion, Thought out Thought, The Slutfuckers) puts forth a thrashing of thumping power through an unorthodox raspy blue vinyl bass box. Digy Biscuits (WD-40, Plastic Jesus, Happy Church Dinner, Dead Earth, Organ Bank) destroys his drum kit each time he sits behind it, often putting his own body and mental well being on the line. Kevin St.Onge (The Dinks, Kickface, Civil Disorder) offers up guitar riffs that will make you think about pulling out your old punk records for a major resurgence. This chasm of sound is topped off with the vocal bellowing of Jason St.Onge (Last Call, Ripcord Riley, Taming the Shrew, Sometimes it Burns). His vocal performance seems more like an unrelenting attack.Amid all the torture and S&M, these guys still seem to come off as a group of fun loving individuals. If you have a chance to see them live, I strongly recommend you make arrangements to do so.-Gene Simmons (Wicked Lester, Kiss)get your own layout here. *click here* for new layouts!

Sounds Like: Do you smell jet fuel? Me too. Buckle up and brace yourself for G-forces — Ghosthunter is our MC5, and they'll make you shriek and smile and maybe bang your head against some hard object. On first listen, I raised my arms and thrashed the air: Rawwwwwwk! Fuckkkkkk! The mix (by Billy Anderson) brings the guitar (by Kevin St. Onge) and drums (by Digy Biscuits) way up front, and they hurtle down the runway at exhilarating speed as Sam of Thunder's bass pounds and pivots underneath. Jason St. Onge's vocal – " I feel good, I ain't complaining! It's good to be left behind, ohhhhh!" – is a choked, vigorous proclamation, a valiant attempt to make a human voice heard above the din on the asphalt.David Pence thebollard.com______________________________________________ ______You know how some people complain that they can’t hear the lyrics when band plays? This CD will have you complaining that you can hear the lyrics. The words to most of these songs are laughably bad; so much so that I thought this band is a spoof, a la Trey Parker/South Park. Then I realized that Ghosthunter is from Maine and it all started to make sense. If you like your metal/bar band silly, mindless and rockin’, grab a 40 and go for it. I couldn’t stop laughing long enough to hit the stop button. No really, I need to eject this before I sprain something. (Joel Simches) The Noise Rock Around Boston_____________Ghosthunter offers a brand of punk-ish metal that'll sear your ears and make your feet start - at least - tapping along.
