Ex-Dead Hearts members set to release album

Buffalo, NY hardcore/punk outfit Old Ghosts will release their debut album later this year with State Of Mind Recordings (the effort will be released in Europe by Assault Records). Notably, the group's line-up includes Derek Dole, Jeremy Smith, and Josh Heatley, formerly of Dead Hearts. According to the band, "Unlike Dead Hearts, Old Ghosts travel a much darker path to playing hardcore; leaving melody behind and opting for a more powerful medium." Guitarist Jeremy Smith comments: "Jan at Assault and Dave at State of Mind were the first to contact us about doing some sort of release and the result will be 12" split release between the two. The LP, containing all 11 tracks from our 2011 demo, is currently being remixed and remastered at GCR studios by John Angelo. We couldn't be happier with whom we're working."
