The Ghost Inside
The Ghost Inside is the self-titled fifth studio album by American metalcore band The Ghost Inside. It was released on June 5, 2020 under Epitaph Records.

For the most part though, this is The Ghost Inside getting back to the largely straightforward, undeniably powerful mix of metal and hardcore they have always done so well.

Distorted Sound Magazine
There isn’t a dull moment on the record, nor a moment that doesn’t hit exactly as it is intended to. Frankly, this is as good as it gets when it comes to this sort of music and no one will ever get it as right as THE GHOST INSIDE do. 2020 might be a hellish time, but THE GHOST INSIDE are back and better than ever, and that is worth smiling about.

Wall of Sound
I don’t know how ready you may think you are for this release, but I can safely say The Ghost Inside have absolutely, positively delivered one of the BEST and most encouraging albums of the year. With its themes of hope, motivation, overcoming, surviving and “give no fucks” attitude, it’ll be an instant win for long term fans and serve as a gateway for newcomers who have only just jumped on the band’s Engine 45 hype train in recent years!

The Soundboard
The Ghost Inside have grabbed every ray of light at the end of their particular tunnel and squeezed as much potential from each as they possibly could have, and have emerged with an album well in the running for pride of place among 2020’s heavy releases.

Dead Press
A moving, inspirational, behemoth of a record, that reaches out and pulls you from one state to the next. From trauma to reward, despair to decisiveness, upheaval to understanding; this is the soundtrack to the phrase, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Cryptic Rock
They pour their hearts and souls into every ounce of the disc, all as they show their resilience—not just as musicians, but as the men they have become. In this, the eponymous LP serves as a gospel for The Ghost Inside’s indefatigable spirit—one that is very much “Still Alive.”

The Ghost Inside is the record that couldn't have happened, but thank god it did. This is more than just a tale of human strength having faced mortality - this is bewildering adversity blended with a quality of songwriting seldom seen in any genre. This album will permeate alternative conversation for years to come, not just because of its circumstance, but because of its extraordinary quality.

Surviving the Golden Age
Throughout the entire album, The Ghost Inside proved to do what they do best with their street-heavy hardcore spirit and it will take more than tragedy to get them to stay down.
