About
The band was formed in Tampa, FL January 2003 by drummer Aantar Lee Coates, bassist/vocalist Paul Ouellette, guitarist Jerry Mortellaro (founding members of Diabolic) and Kelly Mclauchlin, founder/guitarist of Pessimist. In just a few weeks the band recorded and distributed a self-produced 3-song demo, quickly getting airplay on college radio in the US and favourable reviews from around the world. The recording also attracted the attention of Olympic Recordings / Century Media, who quickly signed the band. In 2003 Jerry and Paul were replaced in Diabolic by Eric Hersemann & Robert Cardenes respectably for European Shows (since legal matters prevented the 2 from European tours). During this tour, it was decided to fire Aantar from Diabolic. After The 3 members were ejected from Diabolic officially they hired friend Kelly McLaughlin to help write more music along with some of the then Diabolic riffs already created, thus giving birth to the "new" band Unholy Ghost. Founding Member Kelly Mclauchlin left the band to (at the time) reform Pessimist. Former Deicide guitarist Eric Hoffmann was about to join the band but due to a lawsuit with Deicide, could not. Instead, Bryan Hipp agreed to become the band's second guitarist. The 2014 "reunion" only was a discussed matter, no rehearsals ever materialized.
