about

The title Shape Without Form comes from a poem by T. S. Eliot titled The Hollow Men.

The loose concept of this album is about being human/unhuman, avoiding becoming hollow, that threatens us all.

***

"Overall, wow, was I impressed with this album. They are masterful songwriters and their ability to gain nuance from every note is impressive. The sheer diversity of sounds presented is astonishing as well. They play with melodies like the creator plays with the universe. The band exhibits such precision in a genre that demands no mistakes, and the band makes absolutely none. They also play like they have been together for many years as a foursome. This is exceptional Instrumental music that leaves no stone un-turned."
-Metal Temple - (10/10)

"The tracks have variety within themselves, and plenty between songs. Any time I take breath another experience emerges and that all leads to a delicious end result. Last time was excellent, this time they’ve gone one further."
- The Rocktologist - (20/20)

"This album is full of surprises, variety and stellar performances from all of the band members. If you are a person that is normally turned off by all instrumental albums, you should still hear this album. There is so much variety and feeling in the music that you don't even miss the vocals. If you do love instrumental albums, then you will definitely want to hear this. It is definitely one of the best albums I have heard this year. "
- TCat, Prog Archives - (5/5)

"On the contrary, these guys are nothing more or less than prog-metal alchemists, stirring their eclectic mixture of traditional metal, thrash, old-school progressive rock, ambient new age music, reggae, cinematic passages/spoken-word sections, and psychedelic explorations into a potent — if somewhat bizarre and unique — mixture. The concoction is powerful indeed."
-Moshpitnation - (4.5/5)

"From crunching riffs, excellent solos to very beautiful orchestral arrangements this is an album that you can go to time and again."
- Wild Spiritz Magazine - (9/10)

"...világokat nyit, virágok ezreit, ahogy végigfolyik a zenéjük a fülemben, az ereimben, attól az életet érzem, nem a halált. Ezért értékesebb nekem az album, mint megannyi más manapság."
- HammerWorld - (9/10)

"Instrumentale Alben sind ja immer so eine Sache, irgendwie scheint da meistens etwas zu fehlen. Diese Bedenken sind bei der ungarischen Band GHOST TOAST allerdings vollkommen unbegründet. Auf dem fast reinen Instrumentalalbum "Shape Without Form" gibt es viel zu entdecken."
- Bleeding4metal - (8/10)

"Ranging from moody power riffs to ephemeral synthetics and delicate arpeggios to stomping rhythms. There is a lot going on and it is wonderfully inspiring."
- Soundscape Magazine - (8/10)

"f you’re traditionally not a fan of instrumental albums then this is one that could win you over to the genre because it’s one of the best we’ve heard in a long stretch."
- Metal Noise - (8/10)

Despite some lineup turnover, these guys really hit their stride on this one. The opening track is loaded with riff and even dabbles with a jazzy time-sig. Only one vocal track, and that one is pretty awesome. jeff oaster

Great album. Heavy and technical without overdoing it. Comparisons to Tool are apt but these guys have both a post-metal and progressive rock feel to them jeff oaster

I've been drunk on Mexican moonshine and this band for a little over a year now. The music is fantastic, the mastering is dynamic giving it a full bodied sound, and the dark western mood is strongly felt in every song. Here's to hoping their other albums get an LP pressing Doom 'n' Gloom
