Brooklyn Vegan's Fred Pessaro has posted a bushel of new GHOUL tracks for your listening (dis)pleasure, including the debut of Transmission Zero's ripping corpse of a title track! The other three songs have been floating around in the ether for the past few weeks as the hooded menaces have been busily preparing to hit the road with gorefathers GWAR on the Return of the Maggot Tour. The madness kicks off at Amos Southend in Charlotte, NC tonight! Feast your ears upon some bloody new GHOUL cuts here: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2011/10/ghoul_releasing.html#more and check out a slew of Pessaro's awesome photos from GHOUL's recent guerrilla performance at California Discord Fest: http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2011/09/california_disc.html Joined by EVERY TIME I DIE, the gruesome quartet will be supporting GWAR on twenty dates across the USA, and doing their best to leave a trail of bloodied corpses from sea to shining sea. GHOUL (who are rumored to contain members of IMPALED and ENGORGED) will be unleashing a slew of brand-new songs fromTransmission Zero ( due out on Tankcrimes 11/8!). The album was recorded by Sal Reya at Earhammer Studios in Oakland, CA, and features eleven fresh new cuts of GHOUL's trademark death-thrashing crossover mayhem. In addition, GHOUL's latest act of aural aggression, Transmission Zero, is now streaming in its entirely on Decibel Magazine's subscriber-only channel. Already got a subscription to the mag?

| ___________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 8:02pm - demondave ""] I am really juggling things and pushed to the limit, but I am still going this Friday. I should put on a ghoul mask for the occasion. Any body hazard a guess as to when Ghoul would go on stage? are there more than three bands? |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 10:09pm - nekronaut ""] Same. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 1:13am - ernie ""] one of the best bands! im going to buy all of their merch |
| ______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 4:20am - Lamp ""] What time is this starting? |
| _______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 11:53am - Lamp ""] Hey, answer me. What time does this start? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 12:23pm - nekronaut ""] 6:30 doors 7:30 GHOUL |
| ______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 1:06pm - Lamp ""] awesome Will be there! |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 1:37pm - boblovesmusic ""] you sure it's at 7:30 for Ghoul? the palladium is known for starting before the schedule start time. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 1:47pm - Mark_R ""] uh oh |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 1:52pm - nekronaut ""] That is what the website says. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 2:22pm - Lamp ""] Well then I'll just get there at 6:30 to be safe. And somehow I've managed to make it to age 24 and countless shows without ever going to the Palladium. Let's see how badly this place will want to make me never go back. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 3:24pm - Yeti ""] once you hear the sound, you will be chewing on those words. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 3:52pm - nekronaut ""] GWAR actually sounds good there.. ICP too |
| ________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 3:54pm - KEVORD ""] Have a few coctails. It will sound the bomb. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 21,2011 3:55pm - Lamp ""] Both times I've seen GWAR were at Lupo's and I haven't seen them in five years so I can't even remember the sound. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 4:01pm - nekronaut ""] KEVORD said:Have a few cocks. That's what I usually do. fix'd. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 4:03pm - KEVORD ""] True story. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 7:35pm - substitutecreature ""] Did this start yet? |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 7:35pm - demondave ""] train broke down in boston. I am not getting there until 8:30 and will miss GHOUL :( |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 7:46pm - the_reverend ""] Ghoul went on at 7:30. Doors were at 7. Ghoul's got a bunch o stage antics that are funny. Some guy just geeked a chicken and tossed fake blood all over the crowd. Surprise surprise front row. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 7:53pm - KEVORD ""] Ghoul is kickin ass. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:00pm - the_reverend ""] Battle boys? |
| _____________________________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:16pm - Demondave squished into a basement ""] Still not there yet (sigh) |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:34pm - nekronaut ""] You missed GHOUL not GWAR. Also, we should actually meet IRL. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:47pm - the_reverend ""] He looks surprising a lot like rich horror is rich did the whole life thing right. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:56pm - KEVORD ""] Every Time I Die making fun of Gwar when Gwar took their lame metalcore asses on tour is the gayest thing ever. |
| _____________________________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:59pm - Demondave squished into a basement ""] Ooooo. Every time I die is on. That is the healing salve for missing GHOUL. Like soothing salt in an open wound. I'm at the bar in a beat up black vital remains shirt. Bald and goatee. Facing the band. Contemplating going down the rich horror lifestyle gauntlet |
| ______________________________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 10:16pm - Demondave squished into a basement ""] I like how Gwar don't kick out crap and tour and play the same songs over and over. You have to admit that they are into the newer material |
| _________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 10:42pm - KEVORD ""] Gwar's from outerspace. |
| ______________________________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 10:56pm - Demondave squished into a basement ""] You go girlfriend |
| _______________________________ [Oct 22,2011 12:23am - Lamp ""] Ghoul kicked ass. They played some of my favorites from Splatterthrash, the new songs sounded cool, and there were even some unexpected theatrics from the Killbot. ETID was horrible beyond description, but that was obvious enough already. GWAR was GWAR. The new stuff sounded cool, I stayed way away from the front because I didn't feel like getting sprayed with anything this time and I didn't want to get stage dived on and I certainly didn't feel like getting squashed by the legions of worthless fagmos up front. This gave me an opportunity to truly observe the shenanigans in action. I'd never really paid much attention to Jizmak before, plus I was able to get a better feel for how the fuck those guys play the songs while wearing those big bulky suits, a feat in itself. The blood spray seemed pretty tame especially compared to the first time I saw them (w/ Alabama Thunderpussy and Mensrea at Lupo's in Jan. '05), but I guess the bad economy is forcing all kinds of wacky businesses to make serious budget cuts. My friends and I only watched them for 40 minutes or so and then went to Flats to get some pizza (which has expanded to ruining metal, not just hardcore anymore). The Palladium was EXACTLY the same as Lupo's. Half the time I was standing in there I actually thought I was in Lupo's and I fucking hate that place. This was a pretty good reminder of why I don't go to shows like this... tons of overnighters who don't go to many shows throwing up the horns every chance they got, too many retard neanderthals intentionally going the wrong way in the circle pit and punching people, and just flat out too many fucking attention seeking idiots. We all had to start out somewhere I guess. If Ghoul wasn't opening, there's no way I would have ever gone, but it was a good night overall. |

The best GWAR war story I ever heard tonight was from a girl that got kicked out of her prom and hooked up with friends going to GWAR that night. She showed up to the show in a prom dress and bee hive hairdo and got splattered. She's been a fan ever since. |

| _____________________________________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 7:36am - Demondave squished into a basement ""] That's weird. My phone just reposted that |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 11:19am - i_am_lazy ""] Disappointed by the lack of 8-strings. I rather liked that last year. :( |
| _________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 11:33am - KEVORD ""] My only complaint from last night was the lack of murdered celebrities. They only killed a Jersey shore chick and the rest were all monsters. |

I see it every time a pit forms at this place. I've been there a bunch of times and I don't have the same hate for it that some people do. I liked Ghoul quite a bit, first time I saw them. The robot was funny. I'll also admit to enjoying ETID. I wouldn't say I'm a "fan" but I liked watching them play. Gwar was entertaining. I think the show could've used another band considering how early it ended (or at least started later so more people could've seen Ghoul). Would've been more fun watching a little more music instead of sitting in that parking garage for a billion hours along with the hockey game spectators. Overall though it was a really entertaining show. |
| ________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 6:22pm - KEVORD ""] Don't ever pay for parking in Worcester. Especially in a parking garage. If you drive around a little you can always find on street parking. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 6:36pm - the_reverend ""] I don't pay either, but you have to know what you are doing or you will park on the hill and get your car contents liberated. Also, they never ticket in wormtown either. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 22,2011 6:37pm - Lamp ""] One of my friends I hung out with last night has a sister who works and lives in Worcester and scored both himself and me some free off-street parking not too far away. Was psyched about that. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 22,2011 6:42pm - the_reverend ""] The best part of watching ghoul is knowng that it is sean and ross. |
