Northern Heretic – a new Heavy Rock trio made up of members from Kings Destroy, Eternal Black, End Of Hope, Clothesline and Begotten – are releasing their third single “Ghosts In The Hills” on Friday, September 27, 2024 via all streaming platforms and their Bandcamp page.
Formed in April 2022, Northern Heretic consists of Rob Sefcik (Kings Destroy, Begotten) on drums, Davis Schlachter (Reign Of Zaius, Clothesline, End Of Hope) on bass and Ken Wohlrob (Eternal Black, End Of Hope) on guitar and vocals. “Ghosts In The Hills” follows two previous singles, “Killing Floor” and “Angrboda,” which were released on November 10, 2023 and April 12, 2024.
The wheres and whys and what fors (as told by Northern Heretic):
“‘Ghosts In The Hills‘ is the song we’ve been most excited for everyone to hear. From the rhythmic patterns of the drums, to the character of the vocal parts, to the different guitar riffs, to the way the overall complexity builds as the song moves forward, »Ghosts In The Hills« sounds far from anything we’ve ever done before.
This track freed us up, allowing us to move past the guardrails of the current heavy music scene. We think that comes across in the energy and dynamics of the song. It can be laid back, but it can also pummel you. It can be simple, yet incredibly complex. ‘Ghosts In The Hills’ became a culmination of everything we set out to do differently as a band.
‘Ghosts In The Hills‘ was recorded at Suburban Elvis Studios in New York State, the same studio where the Eternal Black and End of Hope albums were recorded, as well as the last Begotten album. Once again, we worked with Joe Kelly, who produced all of those albums and helped us to achieve the big sonic boom we wanted for this new project.
‘Ghosts In The Hills’ is the third of four singles to be released this year. The way people listen to music has changed and we’re adapting to that. Rather than making fans wait for a whole new album, we’ll release songs as they’re ready.
The cover art for ‘Ghosts In The Hills‘ is by New York artist Melissa Pracht, who also painted the covers ‘Killing Floor‘ and ‘Angrboda.’ She will be creating art for all four Northern Heretic singles released in 2024. Each cover will be unique, but there will be a shared thematic feel to them.
Lineup:
Davis Schlachter / Bass, Backup Vocals
Rob Sefcik / Drums
Ken Wohlrob / Guitars, Vocals, Keyboards
