“Cold Was The Ground” is a near-masterpiece from Kansan trio The Midnight Ghost Train that I’ve no doubt in my mind will impress any metal fan as it did with me with its crushing riffs, badass vocals, and drums that have an amazingly explosive pulse. And I say “near-masterpiece” because it didn’t make me completely s**t my pants and wanna do a back flip in happiness even though it almost did. I’m a picky critic prick, I know.
This album was made to impress and The Midnight Ghost Train does not disappoint in any way and I can already tell with absolute certainty that it will make it on some top albums of the year lists come the end of the year. And I’m saying this as I look for pen and paper to write that s**t down.
“Cold Was The Ground” is available for purchase on March 10th everywhere, but can be bought on iTunes here and you can stream the track “Twin Souls” via Spotify here.

Just a metal head who loves just about all metal. I want to spread the word about the REALLY great bands out there, well known and underground. I do this for fun and don’t want any sort of money from doing reviews. It’s its own reward. I also do daily reviews for my own review site, Head-Banger Reviews, where the reviews are longer and daily as mentioned. No bullshit, just here to have some fun, listen to cool music and meet cool people.
