\nThe Creepsylvanian masked misfits in GHOUL will devour the dead overseas on a near-two-week tour next week. Slated to commence on February 25th, GHOUL will feast on the entrails of the deceased though the United Kingdom, Belgium, Poland, Germany, and Austria, with an included stop in The Netherlands for an appearance at the Netherlands Death Fest.<\/p>\n
Proclaims Digestor of the band\u2019s latest incursion: \u201cWe are excited to travel once again through the socialist hellscapes of Europe. Cinch up your dirndles and prepare yourself for the impending bloodbath, you sausage eating noodnicks. GHOUL is coming and we can\u2019t be reasoned with!\u201d<\/p>\n

GHOUL continues to tour in support of their delightfully deviant Dungeon Bastards studio offering. Released via Tankcrimes in July 2016, the record consumed Billboard Charts upon its first week of release debuting at #11 on the Heatseekers Chart, #13 on the Top Vinyl Albums Chart, #13 on the Hard Rock Chart, and #27 on the Independent Albums Chart. The band also earned prime spots on year end lists globally including the #19 position of Decibel\u2019s Top 40 Albums Of 2016, the revered rag issuing of the album, \u201cFor those who lived through Nancy and Ronald, S.O.D. and D.R.I. GHOUL\u2019s sound is like finding a shoebox of discontinued candy, all of it fresh to eat. That said, the gonzo midnight movie vibe and cartoonish energy on Dungeon Bastards perfectly articulates the apocalyptic anxiety that we\u2019re all sharing in 2016.\u201d Additionally, Loudwire \u2013 who earlier in the year voted Dungeon Bastards among its Best Metal Albums Of 2016 So Far \u2013 placed \u201cGhoulunatics\u201d at the #12 spot of their Best Metal Songs Of 2016 poll. Elsewhere, GHOUL secured the #5 position of Metal Sucks\u2019 Best Band Masks survey while LA Weekly included the band in their list of Best Concert Photos Of 2016 proving team GHOUL are not only maniacal thrashers but they\u2019re good looking too.<\/p>\n
Dungeon Bastards was captured and mixed by Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City) at Antisleep Studios in Oakland, mastered by Dan Randall (Impaled, Annihilation Time, Fucked Up, Necrot) at Mammoth Sound in San Francisco, and wields eleven hemorrhage-inducing tracks of the band\u2019s now-patented Creepsylvanian splatterthrash.<\/p>\n
Dungeon Bastards is out now on CD and digital formats as well as slime green and blood red vinyl with a gatefold jacket that opens into the Dungeon Bastards board game. Players take turns advancing through a Creepsylvanian map; the first one to get to end of the map and jump the Wall Of Death wins.<\/p>\n
\u201cDungeon Bastards isn\u2019t just GHOUL\u2019s finest album to date \u2013 it\u2019s one of 2016\u2019s strongest albums to date, a pipe bomb hybrid of thrash, death metal, and hardcore that is effortlessly aggro and fun. Dungeon Bastards is the kind of record that will have you looking cockeyed at anyone who claims not to like it.\u201d \u2013 MetalSucks<\/p>\n
\u201cInfused with the savage technicality of thrash behemoths and legendary crossover beasts such as Blind Illusion and Attitude, the energy and power of early Death and Sodom and the morbid humours of GWAR, GHOUL\u2019s lifelong mission has taken another crucial step toward world domination. Thrashing time is here.\u201d \u2013 Mass Movement<\/p>\n
\u201cThe production here is crisp and choppy and adds to the fun of this release\u2026 add in the sing-a-long choruses and you have a pretty beaking cool release. 7 Fucking Pecks\u201d \u2014 Decibel\u2019s For Those About To Squawk column<\/p>\n
