LISTEN TO THE EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF THE NEW SINGLE “DIAMOND SKIN“ FROM LEAVE THE GHOSTS BEHIND ONLY ON OUTBURN.COM
Swiss outfit Leave The Ghosts Behind emerge on the scene with their punchy and high-octane debut single, “Diamond Skin.” The band burst onto the scene with an alluring juxtaposition of fresh and nostalgic, as they explore the rigours of day-to-day life with their relatable brand of post-hardcore.
“When I laid down the demo for “Diamond Skin,” I knew it would become an important moment for us, as it would trigger a change of style, from our previous pop-punk delivery. Sharing it with the band made me a bit nervous, but Will nailed the vocals, reassuring me that we were headed in the right direction. I think the lyrics in this song are the most personal to me. They talk about being almost obsessed with someone, like being in love but not in a good way. In the end, everyone gets hurt.” – Finn Graber (vocals).
Leave The Ghosts Behind comes from the heart of Bern, Switzerland, with a sound that blends the raw energy of hardcore punk with the melodic sensibilities of modern post-hardcore, nodding to band such as: Being as an Ocean, Billy Talent and Rise Against.
Debut single “Diamond Skin” is infused with splashes of 00s alternative rock, to form a soundscape of pacey guitars, fist-pumping tenacity and a gripping vocal delivery, as the band explore themes of loss and heartbreak.
