  • Bio

    The music of Ghostfire resonates to the debauched decadence and absinthe-fuelled anarchy of life in the Eighties. The 1880s ! Skulking the cobbled streets, lurking in the shadows of the darkest alleyways, dare you glance beyond the safety of the guttering gaslights to where the gin-soaked moxie plies her trade, the dipper watches his mark and the drunken sailor staggers blindly. It's this shadowy world of villains, rogues and rascals that Ghostfire calls home. In the darkest corners of the flash taverns; we raise glasses with vagabonds, footpads, pirates and thieves. All seeking sanctuary in the anonymity only notorious London Town can afford.

  • Influences

    The sound of Ghostfire blends rock, folk, spaghetti western and shanty with widescreen, technicolour atmospherics. The lyrics document tales of doomed, forgotten wretches who litter the grim passages of English history. The largely forgotten art of dramatic storytelling is prevalent, blending perfectly with the retro-futurist imaginings and heightened aesthetics of the steampunk movement.

  • Sounds Like

    "If steampunk had a musical genre to go with its stylised, fantastical dressing up, it would be this. Like a bawdy sea shanty played by people who live in a smoggy, overcrowded city, where the air is thick with steam and coal dust." (DIE SHELLSUIT DIE)
