THE OTHER Premiere New Video Single ‘Ghost From The 80s’

“Ghost From The 80s” is the lead single from THE OTHER’s long-awaited new album “Alienated” – and is fittingly released just in time for Halloween 2025. Europe’s most famous horror punk band delivers the perfect soundtrack for the spooky season already now at the end of September: a catchy tune that no Halloween playlist should be without.

The track combines an extraordinary wave-inspired atmosphere with the band’s signature dark, driving sound – enhanced by unmistakable 80s-style keyboards that fans of the era will immediately embrace.

Singer Rod Usher explains: “The song is inspired by the teen horror classics of the time – Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Beetlejuice, Fright Night, House – and tells the story of a ghost that haunts an old VCR from a flea market and catapults its owner back to the 1980s. Of course, we had to use appropriate keyboards in the chorus – they would have suited bands like Europe or Journey well.”

Cool, campy, and with a hookline to die for, “Ghost From The 80s” is the perfect anthem for the spookiest and most beautiful time of the year.

The accompanying video (directed by Mirko Witzki – Emil Bulls, Caliban, Nachtblut) features comedy writer, podcaster, actor, and musician Jan C. Müller, who stumbles as a haunted hero straight into a wild, colorful 80s party – led, of course, by head ghost Rod Usher and his eerily charming troupe. But who knows: maybe it was all just a nightmare?

“Alienated”, set for release on October 31st, 2025 via Massacre Records, marks THE OTHER’s first album since the chart success “Haunted” (2020). Probably the band’s darkest record to date, it also represents a triumphant return to their classic horror punk sound.

Produced and recorded by Tim Schulte (Massendefekt, Rogers, Callejon, Stefanie Heinzmann), mixed by Arne Neurand (Subway To Sally, ZSK, Guano Apes, Revolverheld) at Horus Studios, and mastered by Olman V. Wiebe (Kreator, Caliban, Sondaschule), the album delivers raw, powerful energy with a hauntingly cinematic edge.

Frontman Rod Usher describes the record as a “back to the roots” album, merging the immediacy of THE OTHER’s early work with the revitalized creativity brought by the return of founding bassist Andy Only, alongside guitarists J. Ends and Van Tom and drummer Jag Boone.

The previous single, “I Give You the Creeps”, has already gained rotation on national and regional rock radio stations, setting the stage for what promises to be THE OTHER’s most ambitious release yet.
