Media type: LP

The critically acclaimed »Moonlover« - the first part of GHOST BATH's trilogy - was recorded later that year with engineer Josh Schroeder in Michigan.

»Starmourner«, the new album, explores joy, the cosmos, and paradise. But most importantly, it explores ecstasy as its basic human emotion. With over 72 minutes of heavy, melodic, and dramatic black metal, it is GHOST BATH’s most ambitious undertaking yet.

On Self Loather, Ghost Bath close out the trilogy tragedy, ecstasy, and dread/hatred and host their most devastating and dark music to date. From the unbridled cruelty of “Convince Me to Bleed” and the introspection of “Shrines of Bone” to the sorrowful suite that closes “A Sanguine Mask” and disquieting nature of “Sinew and Vein,” Ghost Bath’s fourth full-length sets the mood meter to desolation/antipathy and never quite lets go. Produced by the band with Xander Moser engineering at TreeSpeak Recording Studio in Minneapolis and mixed by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Bosse-de-Nage) at The Atomic Garden Recording Studios in Oakland, Self Loather is a sonic exercise in shadow, nuance, and, most of all, power. Witness Ghost Bath’s most captivating yet odious record to date on Self Loather.
