Remembering Vinnie Paul Abbott, Metal Drumming Legend 1964-2018
The world lost an amazing drummer and by all accounts a great person when Vinnie Paul Abbott passed away on 6/22/2018 at age 54.

Exclusive Album Stream: Ramming Speed- No Epitaphs
Ghost Cult is proud to partner with Prosthetic Records to deliver the full album stream of the new Ramming Speed album, No Epitaphs, due out on September 4th. You can hear the album below:
Gearing up for their pivotal third album, Ramming Speed stepped up their game considerably following their move from their hometown of Boston to Richmond, Virginia. The simple southern life certainly hasn’t tempered the bands hunger to write crushing, intelligent songs that owe equal parts to classic thrash, heavy metal and more current brutal flavors such as grindcore and d-beat. Working with longtime producer and Converge guitarist, Kurt Ballou at his GodCity Studios, No Epitaphs is a killer metal album that likes to party, but also sounds like Howard Zinn, Gore Vidal and John Stewart combined.
No Epitaphs track listing
1. No Forgiveness in Death
2. Choke Holds and Bullet Holes
3. Beasts of Labor
4. Don’t Let This Stay Here
5. This Is The Life We Chose
