the Ghost Inside's debut album, Fury and the Fallen Ones, isn't remarkable but is generally decent. This Los Angeles-based outfit doesn't play either screamo or technical metalcore; nor are they a retro band that offers 1980s-style hardcore of the Sick of It All/Cro-Mags/Agnostic Front variety. Rather, this 2008 release is best described as traditional non-technical metalcore, and the Ghost Inside has some of the hookiness of Hatebreed and Throwdown. That is not to say that the Ghost Inside is in a class with either of those bands; Hatebreed and Throwdown are among the best bands that traditional metalcore has had to offer, and the material on Fury and the Fallen Ones isn't up to elevated Hatebreed/Throwdown standards. But stylistically, there is definitely some common ground--and the best parts of this 35-minute CD indicate that the Ghost Inside value hooks as much as they value angry, vicious, skullcrushing brutality. Despite being mildly inconsistent and less than distinctive, Fury and the Fallen Ones has more plusses than minuses and indicates that these Southern Californians are worth keeping an eye on.

So, the Ghost Inside's Fury And The Fallen Ones is by far among the best of the current heap of Hardcore/Metalcore acts to pop up in recent years. The cd as well as the bands highly energetic and volitile live show create such passion its kinda sad that theyve for the most part gone unnoticed!

Not only are each of the songs well written and put together, they assault you with a Misery Signals meets For The Fallen Dreams posi angst. You wanna stomp your feet, chant along and run through the streets! Do yourselves a favor and get in on this train before its too late! Also check out the band they used to be, A Dying Dream....
