The second release of Halloween 2018 after 5-13 10-31 is this short and quirky single titled MIRROR IN THE CELLAR which finds BUCKETHEAD releasing a single instead of a second album. Where this comes from is unknown but perhaps it’s a leftover.
In its 3:53 wake, this track takes starts off in dark ambient mode with echoey guitars jumping in before breaking into heavy alternative metal guitar riffs. It continues through a fairly by the books metal format. Riffs that alternate with virtuosic solos that drop out and focus on the echoey space guitar effects. The rhythm is rather funky and the track is quite pleasant but really nothing to get overly excited about especially when followed by the more spectacular Halloween video treat of Track 1 from 5-13 10-31.
Oh yeah, The ghost says BOOOOO!
