Dead Heat "By My Will" Music Video
09/17/25 | [dcraley]Great American Ghost Reveal A New Song and Video
Today, GREAT AMERICAN GHOST has announced Tragedy Of The Commons, their fourth full-length offering, and SharpTone Records debut, which will be released on January 31st. The Will Putney-produced record is another worthy addition to their metallic hardcore catalog.
“We are a political band, and we always have been,” expands vocalist Ethan Harrison. “We integrate ‘extreme views’ into what we do, which is ‘extreme music’. Rather than write another generally political album, we tried to play into broader themes of hopelessness. Normal people are losing control on a constant basis. Tragedy Of The Commons is a statement about exploitation. If two people share finite resources, one person will eventually exploit those resources and hurt the other person. Citizens don’t have enough money to eat and live in this country, but our government is spending billions on funding other armies around the world that are being used to kill other poor people. Tragedy Of The Commons boils down to this fundamental exploitation of the less fortunate.”
Alongside the album details, the band has also revealed the single "Lost In The Outline" and its official video.
“As a human, you’re often just a rat on a wheel,” guitarist Grayson Stewart comments. “You’re moving forward in your perspective, but you’re never actually accomplishing anything. ‘Lost In The Outline’ gets into the lies you’re told when you’re young. You come to this realization that you have no agency over what happens to you or what you do. You’re a cog in the machine.”
