THE REAL MAN IN BLACK – “GhostNomad Lives (Best Of)” Full Album

From the twisted imagination of Ryan Bartek (grindcore act Vulture Locust & author “The Big Shiny Prison”) comes a new persona & epic record to back it up – “GhostNomad Lives (Best Of),” a 14 track re-mastered album of Outlaw Acoustic / FolkPunk / Folk / AntiFolk by none other then The Real Man In Black.

The REAL Man In Black is the evil Johnny Cash, the goodie two-shoes Charles Manson, and the unfunny Tom Lehrer. The Real Man In Black refuses to walk the line & gives no apology. These anti-social, doom-sowing acoustic selections mutate the foundations of folk music with a deranged heavy metal & punk rock spin to it.

This is an acoustic album for people who detest acoustic music, who cannot stand the emo whining of lackluster open mic nights at every sleepy college tavern in the USA. This is an album of cold-hearted whiskey tunes for traveling loners – those who’ve slept on the streets, befriended the moon, and picked through dumpsters joyfully galore. This is one for the real freaks, who know what solitude & madness is all about.

“GhostNomad Lives” features totally reworked parody/quasi-covers of GG Allin, Johnny Cash, AKA Mabus, Rammstein, The Cramps, KMFDM & NIN. All songs are original musical compositions with warped lyrics & vocal patterns.

Ryan Bartek has been performing & touring as The Real Man In Black since 2008.

There will be an upcoming tour in 2016 and also an album of fresh new material Fall 2016.
