"Those We Leave Behind" is the second studio album by post hardcore band I Am Ghost, and is due to be released on October 7, 2008. The sound of the album will be considerably different. After the loss of the band's female vocalist who also contributed violins, I Am Ghost decided to record darker and heavier more metallic music.

Album info

I Am Ghost parted ways with their Christian band members, Brian Telestai (bass, keys, vocals) and his wife Kerith Telestai (violin, vocals) for many reasons, among those being their religious beliefs did not match the rest of the band. Telestai told interviewers that I Am Ghost was a Christian band, and would highlight the parts of lyrics from the band that she did not like. [Usinger, Mike.
