The Ghost Inside
Live report
The Ghost Inside se sont séparés de leur bassiste, Jim Riley, après qu'il ait été accusé d'avoir tenu des propos racistes en 2015.
L'allégation selon laquelle il aurait tenu des propos racistes à l'encontre d'un chauffeur de bus il y a cinq ans a été mise en lumière pour la première fois par le batteur de Bracewar, Rashod Jackson.
''The Ghost Inside was born from a scene of forward thinking, understanding and progressiveness. Our music and message has always been one of hope and finding that light at the end of the tunnel. Racism and bigotry of any kind stifle that journey the light. It closes and locks doors that need to be broken open.
We have decided to part ways with bassist Jim Riley. While we didn't hear these words spoken directly from his mouth, we did hear mutterings of the incident. At the time we thought this to be just a rumor, but it offended and hurt a community. A community we are meant to bring together.
We should've spoken up back then and we didn't, we should've dug deeper. We acknowledge that we were silent. We are self educating and growing and learning as individuals. We are here to say that we as a band fully condemn racism and support the black community in the fight against systemic racism.''
Le nouvel album du groupe, éponyme, est sorti ce vendredi 5 juin via Epitaph Records.
