The Ghoulstars

Howling werewolves, tormented vampires and grave robbers from outer space. Meet The Ghoulstars, a fresh – and frightening – blast from the past.

The Ghoulstars arrive with a coffin full of critical acclaim and commercially successful albums. Axe man and group mastermind Markus “Daddy Ghoul” Laakso and goose-bumping drummer Toni “Ghoulio” Ronkainen shared a past life together in the Top Ten charting Finnish death-doom band Kuolemanlaakso. Bassist Markus “Hellaghoul” Makkonen formerly haunted the low end for Season of Mist labelmates Hooded Menace while moonhowler Arthus “LL Ghoul A” Thure croons for the stoner rockers Thermate.

Since invading the land of the living in 2021, The Ghoulstars have captivated press and tantalized crowds in their native haunt of Finland without releasing a single bloody track. Until now! The horror punks are about to raise the cobwebbed curtain from their blockbuster debut album, which mashes together The Misfits, White Zombie, Entombed, B-horror movies, ‘80s aesthetics and the fifty shades of Volbeat into a monstrously catchy mash-up. No pop-culture tome is too sacred for these ghouls to summon back to life.

Line-up:

• Markus "Daddy Ghoul" Laakso : Guitars
• Toni "Ghoulio" Ronkainen : Drums
