The Price Of Consciousness

Cherished Ghosts is an progressive metal music project out of Nashville, TN.  One of the good things about a pandemic that forces one to shelter in place is that it provides the time and space for creativity to spawn.  Cherished Ghosts pulls inspiration from fear, transformation, and a desire to channel lives gamut of emotions through creativity.  Artistic inspiration was pulled from genre bending artists such as Animals as Leaders, Plini, Periphery, Their Dogs Were Astronauts, Loathe and Meshuggah.  There is no angle here other than a sincere hope that you will listen, enjoy, and be inspired to create.  Enjoy!
