Founded by vocalist/guitarist Finnegan Bell, Love Ghost is an enigmatic Los Angeles-based act known for its distinctive blend of grunge, indie/alt-rock, emo, metal and trap rock coupled with mature, poetic lyrics. Their raw, energetic sound has earned numerous plaudits, while a series of collaborations with a wide variety of other artists have broadened the group’s cross-genre appeal.
Their version of ‘Rock Me Amadeus’, a global smash hit in 1986 for the Austrian musician Falco, is available as a single now. Turning the classic yet fun song into something darker with an industrial rock flair while preserving the pop brilliance of the original version, it is a must hear for any fan of Rammstein or Marilyn Manson.
The song is the second to be lifted from ‘Anarchy and Ashes’, a new EP out on 27th March. It follows ‘Vengeance’ STREAM, an uptempo hard rock track with an anthemic quality released in mid-January, the music video for which has already racked up almost 300,000 YouTube plays VIDEO.
Produced by Tim Skold, best known for his hitmaking tenure with Marilyn Manson, the EP is an electrifying collision of hard rock and industrial grit that captures Love Ghost at their most urgent and unapologetic. It will be promoted with a European tour that starts on 2nd April in Vienna, coincidentally the birthplace of Falco.
Bell and Skold had previously teamed up in 2024 to make the well received album ‘Love Ghost X SKOLD’, also issued via Metropolis.
Who is Love Ghost? It is not just an artist – it is a spectator. The embodiment of the tragic and the beautiful, a modern phantom moving between poetry and darkness. Love Ghost represents the misunderstood, those who carry both inner and outer scars, transforming that pain into something aesthetic, spiritual and magnetic.
Love Ghost is a gothic-romantic universe where every song is a portal and every performance a ritual. There is no single identity: it is a spirit that inhabits different characters – fallen angels, cursed revolutionaries, corrupted prophets, ruined poets – to tell stories of isolation, transformation and impossible love.
The Love Ghost aesthetic blends decay and elegance: broken halos, rustled roses, poetic blood, theatrical masks and ghostly cities. It’s sound, influenced by Lil Peep, Deftones and Linkin Park, connects with those who belong in the dark and find in Love Ghost a mirror to their vulnerability.
At its core, Love Ghost is an immersive experience, an aesthetic cult, a refuge for the broken, a phantom that turns tragedy into beauty.
