ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Episode 153 of Metal Maniacs hosted by Jay Ingersoll brings in the chaos with Ghosts In Motion—Robby (vocals), Camm (vocals), Devon (guitar), and Preston (guitar). A 7-piece force out of Flint, Michigan, blending metalcore, rap metal, and nu-metal into something aggressive, raw, and real.
We break down what makes this band stand out immediately—vocal variety, insane tones, newer-style riffing, and rock-solid drumming. There’s been talk of “trap metal,” but we call it how it is—this is heavy-first music with just a touch of hip-hop influence, not the other way around.
FFO: Periphery, Slipknot, Motionless In White, Nu Metal
We dive into the band’s origins, the meaning behind the name, and how a 7-member lineup actually works in a live and writing setting. The conversation hits on their evolving sound, why “2-4-6 is the sweet spot”, and how they balance chaos with precision.
We also go deep on their discography and growth:
Early energy on NGIS (2019) with rap-metal elements and raw aggression
The shift in production and djent influence on The End of Indifference (2021)
Slipknot-style groove and breakdown mastery on A Spot of Brother
Breakthrough momentum with Unity / Peace (2022) — huge hooks, clean production, standout songwriting
Experimental vibes on Dead Beat and Luna Rose
Increasing heaviness on Dysfunction (2024)
Maturity and vocal evolution on Emotional Damage (2025)
Latest single Quicksand (Feb 19, 2026) — a defining track bringing everything together
We also talk:
Writing process and how riffs, patterns, and hooks come together
When and why solos make the cut
Guitar tones, tunings, and live setup
Production growth over time
Touring, best/worst shows, and what’s coming next
The upcoming EP dropping later this year
Coming out of Flint with grit and intensity, Ghosts In Motion are building serious momentum—sharing stages with bands like Attila, Chelsea Grin, Born of Osiris, and Traitors—and pushing their sound forward without limits.
If you’re into modern heavy music that blends groove, emotion, and chaos—this episode is a must.
