Info:

Ghost Machinery were formed in 2002 by Pete Ahonen, Burning Point's vocalist and guitarist, and Tapsa Pelkonen and Jussi Ontero, Wildcard's bassist and drummer-keyboardist. Ahonen's compositions were remarkable enough to help them sign a two full-length albums' contract with Sound Riot Records. Haunting Remains is the first of these two albums.
The band, like many other North European bands, plays Symphonic Power Metal which they prefer to call Neo-Classical Power Metal. There is a bunch of songs that fulfill all the factors that can make their debut catchy. There are speedy tracks with simple musical themes garnished by inspired choices in the backing chorus vocals (like in Temples Of Gold) and the keys (like in From The Edge Of The World), mid-tempo interventions, a ballad, an unexpected cover and numerous explosive guitar solos - Pete Ahonen has done a great job with the guitars not that his voice is not at least as satisfactory - plus a clean production.
