Ghost Orgy
Lullabies For Lunatics
Self-Released

If Concrete Blonde, Dead Can Dance, and Lacuna Coil joined forces, the end result would probably sound like the spooky dissonance of New Jersey's Ghost Orgy. This unit's 12-track effort's unsettling nature is exemplified by the use of viola, which creaks in and out of tracks like "Bogota" and "Nothing" with eerie reservations. Laden with mid-tempo guitar churnings and emblazoned with an empowered female lead throat, Ghost Orgy's latest release instantaneously chills the bones and gives off that uneasy feeling that any good horror flick would.
