I Once Knew A Ghoul

Shaboi

These dark and stormy nights, they bring me down - whenever I'm alone. And since she left this haunted house, well it just ain't a home. It's been thirteen days she since she up and decided to slither out the door. And that trail of ooze she left behind reminds me, she ain't here anymore. I once knew a ghoul, she treated me unkind. She treated me so cruel, but Lord I didn't mind. I miss her crooked eyes even though it was impossible to see - if she was starin' blankly at the wall, or if she was makin' eyes at me. I know she loved me in her own sick way even if it didn't show. But without a mouth for her to say, well i guess I'll never know. I once knew a ghoul, she treated me unkind. She treated me so cruel, but Lord I didn't mind.

Ten finely crafted songs paying homage to the ghouliest of seasons, Halloween. This debut from Shaboi is best enjoyed during the span of October. Put this one heavily on repeat and you can thank yourself later.

This album is best experienced through headphones or in a hearse.

Thanks to all my friends willing to sully their reputation by participating in this outlandish album. Shorty Tall Small for co-writing one of the best tracks and creating incredible artwork for the CD. Matt Elam for allowing me to include "Undead Headcheck" which he lyricized in about an hour last year with no preparation! Keith Parish and Ashley Fisher, two exceptionally talented musicians who added 300% polish to their respective songs. Karla for being the ultimate teammate and ego booster. And fore-mostly Michael Eades who is gracious enough to host/post the songs, not to mention wrangle the packaging and keep my asp in gear to finish a Halloween album before Thanksgiving.

Please mark this album as gapless.
