I Am Ghost s Career Defining Sophomore Effort, Those We Leave Behind, in Stores October 7th, 2008

Southern California s I Am Ghost has announced their co-headlining tour with Century Media s Blessed By A Broken Heart. The band will also play a CD release party on October 12th at the Glass House in Pomona, CA before starting their full European tour.

“It has been nearly two years since the band has been back in the United Kingdom and we could not be happier. This will also be our very first tour ever in continental Europe, so we are extremely excited to see how our music goes over there,” says I Am Ghost front-man Steven Juliano. “It’s like a dream to finally play in all these great places. This is going to be an amazing tour!”

After a two year tour run that saw the band steal the show with jaw dropping live performances alongside Aiden, Escape the Fate, Eyes Set to Kill and the Vans Warped Tour, I Am Ghost has returned with their much anticipated sophomore album, “Those We Leave Behind”, on October 7th, 2008 through Epitaph. Recorded with producer Paul Leavitt (Senses Fail, The Bled, Circa Survive) in Baltimore, MD, “Those We Leave Behind” takes the band s dark brand of rock and pierces it with sharp metallic riffs and soaring melodic choruses that sweep listeners off their feet in what will be remembered as a career defining release for the band.

“We took everything differently this time,” says the inimitable Juliano. “We didn’t set out to impress anyone this time. We didn’t care what anyone thought of this new record. The entire band just let loose. We didn’t hold back and this time around there weren’t people telling me what I could and could not say in my lyrics. I delved more into my dreams and nightmares and wrote lyrics that meant a lot to me and the band.”

Conceived by former animator/artist Juliano, I Am Ghost was formed in the fall of 2004 in an attempt to create a style of music that not only rocked but also explored the beauty within darkness. After finding fellow musicians who shared his vision, Juliano and crew recorded the group s We Are Always Searching EP and quickly started building a strong following throughout southern California. In 2005 the group signed with punk-rock powerhouse Epitaph Records for the release of their debut full-length Lovers’ Requiem, which saw the band develop a national cult following of loyal fans who gobbled up the album.

In the meantime, I Am Ghost has uploaded video footage from the recording of Those We Leave Behind online at www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGDbZeOt0LA
