Holyghost "Self Titled" CD was released on Deathwish in 2006.
Born from basement tapes and sleepless nights, this collection is an eerily cold and jagged musical vision. A musical war between apocalyptic punk (Nausea, Amebix, etc) and cloven hoof heavy metal (early Crowbar, Celtic Frost, etc). All layered with Human Furnace's trademark vocal attack. This first ever official release for Holyghost boasts a stellar new mastering job as well as breathtaking artwork/packaging from J. Bannon (Converge). Serving not only as a fitting treatment to an underground classic, but also as the first flight of this reborn musical demon.

The lyrics to Holyghost's song, "Superman," appear to express a sense of admiration and appreciation towards someone who the singer considers a hero or savior of sorts. From the opening lines of "Who, I mean who," it seems as though the singer is in awe of this person and wants to emphasize their greatness. The repetition of "Superman" throughout the song also serves to reinforce the idea that this person is larger-than-life and possesses incredible abilities.
The lines "Who makes me hope / I mean who saves my soul" suggest that this person provides a sense of hope and salvation to the singer. The following lines about saving the mind and fooling faithful love indicate that this person has a profound impact on the singer's emotional state and personal relationships. The repeated questioning of "How will I know for a long time" implies that the singer is uncertain about their own future and is seeking guidance or reassurance from this hero figure.
The overall tone of the song is one of admiration and gratitude, and it appears to celebrate the idea of having someone in one's life who serves as a source of inspiration and strength. The use of superhero imagery reinforces the idea that this person is not just a regular human being, but someone with extraordinary qualities.
