Born A Ghost - Stairway To An Empty Room - Reviewed By darkdoomgrinddeath ! Check it out here at this link: https://darkdoomgrinddeath.blogspot.com/

  Born  A  Ghost  are  a  band  from  Tacoma,  Washington  that  plays  a  mixture  of  black,  death,  sludge,  doom,  stoner  metal  and  electronica  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  ep  "Stairway  To  An  Empty  Room"  which  will b e  self  released  in  2023.

  Clean  playing  starts  off  the  ep  along  with  some  drum  beats  and  bass  guitars  a  few  seconds  later  while  electronic  sounds  can  also be  heard  at  times.  Vocals  are  mostly  death  metal  growls  as  well  as  the  slower  sections  of  the  songs  also  bringing  in  the  heaviness  of  sludge  and  doom  metal  and  touches  of  stoner  metal  can  also  be  heard  at  times.

  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  while  drones  can  also  be  heard  at  times.  Black  metal  screams  can  also  be  heard  briefly  as  well  as  the  music  also  adding  in  a  decent  amount  of  elements  from  that  genre  along  with  one  song  also  adding  in  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples  and  all  of  the  music  also  sticks  to  a  slower  direction,  one  song  also  adds  in  a  small  amount  of  clear  vocals.

  Born  A  Ghost  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  black,  death,  doom,  sludge,  stoner  metal  and  electronica  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  heavy  while  the  lyrics  cover  drug  addiction,  suicide  and  faith  themes. 

  In  my  opinion  Born  A  Ghost  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  black,  death,  sludge,  doom,  stoner  metal  and  electronica  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Halls  Of  Disrepair"  and  "When  The  Last  Light  Fades".  8  out  of  10. - darkdoomgrinddeath
