Ghost Brigade is a six-piece melodic doom metal band from Finland, formed in 2005.
Ghost Brigade was formed in 2005 by the ex-members of the melodic death metal band "Sons Of Aeon" (Wille Naukkarinen and Tommi Kiviniemi), by the ex-members of the stoner metal Sunride (Wille Naukkarinen, Veli-Matti Suihkonen and Janne Julin) and by the singer of the death metal band Paraxism (Manne Ikonen). Then, they recorded several songs they gathered up in a Demo they released on their own. The year after (in 2007), they started to record several songs as "Along The Barriers" or "Horns" and they decided to record an album, which is named Guided By Fire and it was recorded with their "house engineer", Mikko Poikolainen. They released it the 17th September 2007 via Season Of Mist. It was the first album of the band to feature Aleksi Munter, the keyboardist of the melodic death metal band Swallow The Sun and the only to feature Fredrik Nordin, the vocalist of the stoner metal band Dozer as guest vocals.
They also made a tour to promote the album during October and April 2007 with Insomnium in Finland only. The album was also available in download on the website of Season Of Mist, the label of Ghost Brigade. The album was also re-released in 2012 in a clear vinyl edition.
Two years after Guided By Fire, Ghost Brigade release their second album, Isolation Songs in August 2009 (The 3rd in Europe and the 25th in North America) via Season Of Mist and it was produced by Antti Malinen.
