about

We live in a Kakistocracy. This is music made for the resistance.
#RESIST #FIGHTTHEPOWER

"Progressive anger can blast down some ugly walls, and Burning Ghosts' new recording shows how to do it without saying a word (or firing a shot)... If you're wishing for this decade's most potent way of declaring "We're not gonna take it," look no further." —MetalJazz.com

"Burning Ghosts [is] one of the best bands to emerge from L.A. in years." —Downtown Music Gallery (NYC)

"Burning Ghosts, an L.A.-based fiery quartet that aims at today’s world injustices by verging on electric fusion genius to impress... If you’re the adventurous type, Burning Ghosts will make you spin with the immense force of their underground volleys. I trust this band will have all the attention they deserve to keep protesting with this quality." —JazzTrail

"Boxes be damned, classifying this as jazz- rock or jazz-metal is a waste of energy. It is simply what it is, which is great music... Marvelous." –Jazz In Europe

Great album! With a lineup as skilled as this I guess you'd expect nothing less. To top it off, all of that skill and creativity was expertly recorded, mixed and mastered by Colin Marston. Say no more! mimetic
