The Chant’s debut album “Ghostlines”, 54 minutes of melancholic music full of beautiful melodies and harmonies, is released by Shadow World Records.

“We think that making music and playing it is like any other form of art. If you could express yourself some other way, it would be unnecessary to make music at all. The same applies to poetry, painting, etc.”

The Chant is a group of six individuals who share the same way of thinking about music. We all have our own favourites and influences but together we make The Chant’s sound what it is, and Ghostlines has it all. Powerful chords and bursting riffs combined with comforting melodies and soothing soundscapes, a combination of metal and rock.

The current line-up was formed in 1999, when Jussi Hämäläinen, Mari Jämbäck and Ilpo Paasela were joined by Kimmo Tukiainen from Diablerie. At the same time Markus Forsström and Roope Sivén joined the band. One could say they now, after nearly ten years, know each other thoroughly.

Ghostlines was executed with an impressive list of hardboiled professionals during three months of meticulous work. It was produced by the Moonsorrow vocalist / bass player Ville Sorvali, whose latest works include the chartbusting albums of Profane Omen and Dauntless.

Mikko Herranen of Rust and Misery Inc. was in charge of mixing and Chartmakers' Svante Forsbäck took care of the mastering. The cover booklet was shot by Ville Juurikkala, who was recently named the Best Rock Photographer by the immensely popular City magazine.
