I SEE GHOSTS LAUNCHES NEW ERA WITH INTROSPECTIVE SINGLE “DOWN HERE”

The way hardcore transfers through different cultural landscapes is so fascinating. Germany’s I See Ghosts is pioneering their own subset of hardcore, ushering in a brand new era with their single, “Down Here.”

Lyrically, the song tackles challenging themes, like personal illusions, especially when they are unveiled over time. Physical distance between people who are closely connected can take a toll. “Down Here” captures the anxiety that follows exceptionally well.

The guitar playing in this track is brilliant; layers create texture, encouraging listeners to keep an ear out for different elements instead of listening to the song as one whole sum. A lot is going on, but in a cohesive way.

“Down Here” by I See Ghosts has the same power that catapulted the post-hardcore heavy-hitters to the superstardom we know them to have today. Healthy screams establish a robust vocal mix that isn’t overpowered by any of the flowing instrumental layers.
