Great American Ghost have shared the arrival of ‘Kerosene’, the fourth single from the band’s upcoming album Tragedy Of The Commons, out 31st January on SharpTone Records.
The track opens the record with a buzzsaw riff and pummelling industrial-style beat.
Taking inspiration from bands like Nine Inch Nails and HEALTH as much as Slayer and Meshuggah, ‘Kerosene’ signals Great American Ghost‘s ability to write killer songs that transcend genre.

The video for the track, directed and edited by Anthony Altamura, evokes a spine-chilling and anxious blend of horror, and can be viewed below.
Vocalist Ethan Harrison comments on the song: ‘Kerosene’ is a song about absolute nihilism. If the world is truly hopeless, forlorn, irredeemable, then this is its anthem.”

Upholding an uncompromising vision with clear intention, Great American Ghost know exactly what they want to say about their community, the greater world around them, and humanity as a species. Tragedy Of The Commons offers a powerful statement on exploitation, oppression, and scarcity.
On the Will Putney produced record, Great American Ghost transmit their message without filter, delivered through a combination of basement-born hardcore spirit, staggering metallic precision, polemic lyrical provocations, and unexpectedly arresting melodies.
