Ghost Hounds have announced their new album, Justified, will be released on August 21, 2026, via Maple House Records. Along with the announcement, the band has released the new single “Sinner’s Prayer.”

“Sinner’s Prayer” is a roots-rock track featuring fiddle, soaring guitar work and lead vocals from SAVNT. The song explores themes of sin and redemption. A live performance of the song recorded at Sagebrush during SXSW has also been released.

“While someone could see the title of this song and think the meaning is self-explanatory, I believe the reason why it resonates and hits so close to home for people is because we have all experienced in our own way a deep desire for understanding and redemption,” said SAVNT. Adding, “To be seen beyond our faults and seek the reassurance that there is something on the other side of the hardship. Performing this song creates an opportunity for both me and the audience to experience a cathartic release of those burdens.”

Justified features 11 tracks, including the previously released title track “Justified,” along with originals such as “Chasing Yesterday,” “Something Wicked,” “Here No More,” “War Inside,” and “Pale Horse.” The album also includes covers of The Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter,” Freddie King’s “Going Down,” and the gospel standard “Amazing Grace.”

Ghost Hounds are led by vocalist SAVNT alongside founder, producer and guitarist Thomas Tull. The lineup also includes guitarist Tyler Chiarelli, fiddler Kristin Weber, keyboardist Joe Munroe, bassist Bennett Miller and drummer Sydney Driver.

“The way Thomas writes, he knows what the guy in his song had for breakfast that morning. He’s really building a character,” SAVNT says.

The band has performed at the Grand Ole Opry and The Kelly Clarkson Show, while also making a headline appearance during AmericanaFest at the National Museum of African American Music, where SAVNT was honored with a special exhibit recognizing his artistry and cultural impact. Ghost Hounds have also toured with The Rolling Stones and opened for ZZ Top, Bob Seger and Garth Brooks. Their song “Last Train to Nowhere” was also featured in the television series Special Ops: Lioness.

Ghost Hounds released their debut album Roses Are Black in 2019, followed by A Little Calamity, You Broke Me, First Last Time and 2025’s Almost Home, which featured guest appearances from Lainey Wilson and Patty Griffin.

“We are so proud of Justified. We were able to draw from so many of our influences and put forth a record that we feel really sounds like a culmination of all the parts becoming the whole,” lead guitarist Tyler Chiarelli says. “At the center of that is SAVNT. His vocals were able to traverse so much ground, and it was so amazing to witness him find new dimensions of his voice in the process. From blues to country to rock, he brought all of the songs to life.”

SAVNT says the band’s approach has never been limited by genre.

“We don’t really care about rules or genres. When we write, record, or perform, the songs could be country, Americana, soul, or blues-rock,” SAVNT says. “It’s all of our influences, mixed together. And there’s nothing better than that.”

Two titans of progressive music, Steve Hackett (Genesis) and Steve Rothery (Marillion), come together on ‘The Roaring Waves’ – a striking and deeply atmospheric instrumental album shaped by memory, imagination, and the elemental power of the sea. The record has been much talked about over the years, and it will now finally see the day on August 28th, 2026 via InsideOutMusic.

Years in the making, The Roaring Waves brings together seven instrumental compositions that move fluidly between the cinematic and the intimate, as Hackett explains, “It’s not the kind of album that guitarists normally make together.”

Written and recorded intermittently over nearly a decade – with sessions at Racket Club and the duo’s home studios – the album emerged from an organic, improvisational process. Jams and shared ideas form the backbone of the music, allowing both players to explore a collaborative dynamic defined by sensitivity and mutual respect.

Throughout ‘The Roaring Waves’, the duo embrace a painterly, almost filmic approach to composition – crafting music that invites listeners to drift, imagine, and immerse themselves. “You’re trying to create an atmosphere… like painting a picture,” says Rothery. “Taking people on a journey.”

Coinciding with the announcement is the launch of the album’s first single, ‘The Black Sea’, accompanied by a stunning video featuring Hackett & Rothery performing alongside album collaborators Riccardo Romano (who also co-wrote, mixed and played keyboards & bass), & Leon Parr (drums). Watch the video, directed by Tim Sidwell, here:

Steve Rothery comments: “I think The Black Sea is the perfect introduction to the sonic world we’ve created between us. We have a very special chemistry.”

Steve Hackett adds: “For ‘The Black Sea’, our joint guitar sounds with the keys created a strong vibe of intrigue along with a sense of a musical dark sea adventure…”

The album is also available to pre-order on several formats, including a Ltd CD+Blu-ray mediabook edition including Dolby Atmos (by Andy Bradfield) & High Resolution Stereo mixes. The album will also be available as a Standard CD & a Gatefold 180g LP, cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell. All feature artwork and layouts by Simon Ward.
