Following the release of wondrous first single, “Green & Glass”, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS are back with an addictive, synth-infused second single, “Ghosts In The Mist”. Blending modern guitar stylings with 80s arena rock vibes, the track boasts one of the album’s most sing-along worthy choruses and heaviest breakdowns. Check out the track today alongside a high-energy performance video!
UNLEASH THE ARCHERS says about “Ghosts In The Mist”:
“If you saw us at any of the shows we played last year then you might recognize this track! We filmed the music video at Mad With Power Fest, ProgPower USA, and at our show in Montreal, Canada, and it is full of so many friends and familiar faces! We love including these particular festivals in the video because they have both been supporters of ours for a very long time, and we hope we will get to play them again and again as the years go on.
The track is one of the more synth heavy songs on the album, but it’s also got some rad death vocals from Grant that you can bang your head to, so we hope there will be a little something for everyone to enjoy here!”
