Great American Ghost is gearing up for the release of Tragedy of the Commons, their new album due out January 31st on SharpTone Records. The band has unveiled the final preview of the record with the single “Echoes of War.” As vocalist Ethan Harrison puts it, “This song is this record. The keystone that holds the entire thing together.”
The track blends metalcore foundations with industrial accents and more accessible rock vibes. Searing guitars pierce through the chaos, driven by a hypnotic and haunting hook from Harrison.
Thematically, the song dives into the concept of free will—or the lack thereof—delivering a stark and provocative narrative. This isn’t just another single; it’s a statement of intent, embodying everything the band hoped to accomplish with the album.
Tragedy of the Commons reflects the band’s uncompromising vision. Produced by Will Putney, the album tackles heavy themes like exploitation, oppression, and the scarcity that defines much of modern existence.
Musically, it fuses hardcore grit with razor-sharp metallic precision, provocative lyrics, and moments of unexpected melody.
To support the release, Great American Ghost is joining Bleed From Within and After The Burial on a massive European tour. Spanning over 20 cities, the tour will take them to venues from Warsaw’s Progresja to London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Great American Ghost is Ethan Harrison (vocals), Grayson Stewart (guitar), Anthony Laur (bass) and Niko Gasparrini (guitar).
