My day is going down and it’s going down fast. I’m full of pent up aggression at this point and I can feel my jaw clenching so hard and hear my teeth grinding yet can’t stop myself from doing it. Lucky for me, I have “Somewhere West of Hate” from As Ghosts as the next song to share with you all and to say that this helped me release some of that angst and aggression would be an understatement.

As Ghosts is a band from Houston, Texas that has clearly perfected their song. Stylistically, As Ghosts dabbles between a post-hardcore and a more straight up metal inspired sound. There are also elements thrown into this song in particular that almost nod to something a little bit more pop-punk a la old-school My Chemical Romance or Tsunami Bomb. The vocals are dazzling and come off as absolutely perfect while still having a sense of angst to them that will help you blow off any steam that has been building up in your head throughout the day. The driving guitars help that whole feeling even more creating a sound that is somehow furious and chill at the same time. Long story short, if you’ve been wanting a track to just chill out to while also using it as an outlet for the stress that comes with a Monday, “Somewhere West of Hate” from As Ghosts is the track for you.
