For the Aspiring Occultist

Ghostemane

Murky, lo-fi trap saturated with esoteric themes and rapid-fire flows. A foundational document of the SoundCloud underground's obsession with the occult.

September 15, 2015 · Not On Label (Ghostemane Self-released)

A cold, intellectual darkness that balances aggressive technicality with eerie, atmospheric dread.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the ritualistic intro of Initiation into the crushing, distorted bass of Plague Doctor Mask.
The rapid-fire chopper flow on Seppuku that cuts through the murky, atmospheric production.
The eerie, slowed-down vocal manipulation on LUCID (Dreaming) that creates a sense of sleep paralysis.
