The world-famous cannibal splatterthrashers and all around jovial masked mutants in Ghoul have risen from the bowels of Creepsylvania to let loose their “Noxious Concoctions” EP. Set for release on February 2nd, 2024, via Tankcrimes, the five-track offering serves as the collective’s first new studio output since 2016’s critically adored “Dungeon Bastards” full-length.
All psalms on “Noxious Concoctions” were digested, dissected, fermented, and cremated by the members of Ghoul, except “1-900-DTH-LINE”, originally composed by Funerot. The EP was recorded by Scott Evans at Antisleep Audio and Sharkbite Studios, mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound Mastering, and includes gang vocals by The Moron Cavern Shakled Choir and “swamp hag” vocals by Laurie Sue Shanaman.
Ghoul vocalist/guitarist Digestor states: “After seven long years we have crawled up from the catacombs to assault your ears, nose, and throat with an EP so foul, so provocative, so damned groundbreaking that the music world may never recover. Notify your next of kin, make out your will, make whatever arrangements you need to, because ‘Noxious Concoctions’ WILL kill you. Buyer beware”.
In advance of the release, today the band unleashes the EP’s title track for public consumption.
Digestor further elaborates: “‘Noxious Concoctions’. ‘Noxious Concoctions.’ ‘Noxious Concoctions’. Go ahead and try to say it five times fast. You can’t. No one can. And yet it’s destined to be named in every ‘Best Of’ list from now until the end of time itself, which by my watch is a scant few months away. It’s called irony. Look it up. Back on topic: your world is coming to an end in blood and flame. And while we didn’t start the fire, we will point and laugh as it burns. Also, I lied. Cremator started the fire”.
