[edit] Trivia
- The Ghoul demo included a cover of The Misfits' "Ghouls Night Out".
- Though members wear costumes and perform under pseudonyms, it is well-known that members of the band also play in California's Impaled and Dystopia. The band does not make this a secret, as they can be seen tuning up out of costume when playing live.[citation needed]
