Ghostemane Announces New Album AM:FM: Hear “BucketList”

Back in the great SoundCloud-rap wave of the '10s, the West Palm Beach weirdo Ghostemane emerged with a messy and fascinating style that combined that moment's underground rap, and its '90s Memphis origins, with metal, hardcore, goth, and industrial.

Ghostemane, the enigmatic rapper from West Palm Beach, is back with a new album titled AM:FM, set to release on October 23 via Blackmage. After a two-year hiatus following the release of his 2020 album Anti-Icon, Ghostemane has returned with a promising new single, "Zero Day," produced by Kenneth Blume.

According to the source, "Zero Day" echoes the late-90s rap metal sound, hinting at the direction of the forthcoming album. However, the new track "BucketList" showcases a departure from this style, featuring a cleaner, more minimal beat reminiscent of 2010s LA jerk music. Ghostemane himself produced "BucketList," which maintains his signature sinister vocal delivery, often transitioning from a murmur to a yowl while staying on beat.

The album cover is described as "pretty cool," but Ghostemane has yet to reveal any further details about the record's content. The track listing includes "Zero Day" and "BucketList," along with other undisclosed songs. Fans can pre-order the album now.
