Ghost of Altalena – Out of Time
February 8, 2024
“Out of Time,” the sophomore album from Ghost of Altalena, helmed by the visionary songwriter Sergey Engel, is a gripping odyssey through the depths of doom metal, hardcore, metal, and grunge. With 12 tracks pulsating with unconventional fervor, this dark, weighty, and unorthodox opus plunges listeners into a realm where ferocity intertwines with raw emotion. From the Sabbath-esque groove of “Colossus” to the haunting melancholy of “The Willow Tree,” each song is a visceral exploration of the human condition, defying norms and leaving an indelible imprint on the psyche. “Out of Time” cements Ghost of Altalena’s status as a trailblazing force in the contemporary metal scene, daring listeners to embrace the unconventional and embrace the darkness within. Fans of Black Sabbath, King Crimson, Alice in Chains, and Lustmord should press play.
