The Ghost Inside Announce New Album ‘Searching For Solace’

---

The Ghost Inside have announced their sixth studio album ‘Searching For Solace’, set for release later this year. Alongside the announcement the band have also dropped the video for lead single ‘Wash It Away’, check it out down below.

The lead single finds vocalist Jonathan Vigil ruminating on the realization that anything, even the band, can quickly disappear.

“It’s really hard to break everything down, start over and rebuild,” the band explain, “Whether that is a relationship, schooling, a career or a business venture. After dedicating so much time to something, it can be scary to lose it and start over.”

The new performance video depicts the band playing whist being flooded by a torrential downpour. Check it out here:

Since their formation in 2004, the Californian band have inspired international audiences with their songs of resilience, perseverance and vulnerability born from genuine life experiences.

‘Searching For Solace’ arrives nine years from the horrific bus crash that forever changed the trajectory for the band. The members have now learned an esoteric truth about tranquillity, as the axiom says, “it’s the journey, not the destination” (a theme explored throughout the band’s new album).

“People always ask me how I remain positive,” Vigil muses. “I’m realizing now that there’s never really a time where you reach that point of ‘happiness.’ It’s a constant journey. I know that life is hills and valleys. You must be willing to embrace new things, stand up for yourself, and adapt. Because the goalposts just move further away. The search for solace never ends.”

‘Searching For Solace’ is set for release on April 19 Via Epitaph Records. The new album features production from Dan Braunstein (Spiritbox, Dayseeker) who took the reins on most of the record, with other tracks handled by Cody Quistad (Wage War), Carson Slovak, and Grant McFarland (August Burns Red, Bloodywood).

While the album is unafraid to embrace darker themes and expanded sonic landscapes, the album boasts the most fundamental elements of The Ghost Inside: honesty, vulnerability, the message, and the melody.

“There’s more singing and song structure than on the previous album, but there are also some of the heaviest songs we’ve done,” notes Bassist Jim Riley. “We really know who we are, and we also feel comfortable stepping into the future. This is a new chapter, but it’s not disconnected from what the band sounded like before. It’s more of an extension of it. We’re excited by it.”
