GHOSE Gains New Guitarist and will Disband

It was in July 2013 when GHOSE announced to release 13 new CDs - one each month. This month the release campaign comes to its end with the band's album "chigire" (契描). But unfortunately that isn't the only thing that ends. GHOSE announced that the band will stop activities and disband after its live on January 31st, 2015.

The reason is drummer yusuke's suffering from spinal stenosis. His condition got worse and he explained that he can't play the drums anymore the way he should be able to play it for a real band. So he decided to depart. After several discussions this decision ended in the disbanding of GHOSE.

Apart from this sad announcement GHOSE made another one: before disbanding the band's support guitarist Jujo has officially joined. Jujo actually plays the guitar for Visual Kei band Allegretto but that band went on indefinite hiatus in summer last year and as of December 2013 he acted as support guitarist for GHOSE.

Furthermore, the band has uploaded a preview for its new album we've talked about above. It will hit the stores on October 22nd and includes the live-limited singles that have been sold during the past year.
