Ghostlimb is a project spearheaded by Justin Smith of Graf Orlock. Bearing and Distance is the band's second full-length release and first for Level Plane (vinyl was handled by Adagio).
Whereas Graf Orlock takes a novelty approach to grindcore, Ghostlimb takes a more direct and serious approach to hardcore. In fact, the band's sound has a lot more in common with the anarchist punk scene. Though, the band does find ways of mixing in more drone-oriented aspects into their music as well. The album ends up being equal parts His Hero is Gone and Isis, but also hits on a Catharsis vibe as well. Lyrically, Smith focuses his lyrics to adventures on the sea
perhaps this is a meant to be a concept record?
