NEW ALBUM

LOOSE ENDS
Born A Ghost

Loose Ends captures the sound of desolation meeting defiance; a slow-burning meditation in distortion and grief. Across the two tracks “Killing Grounds” and “Dirge,” Born A Ghost summon towering walls of sludge and post-metal ambience, channeling the weight of loss through massive low-end, haunting melodies, and cathartic vocal howls. The EP feels both intimate and apocalyptic, balancing despair and resilience in equal measure, a fitting chapter in the band’s evolving catalog of emotional heaviness.

Forged in distortion and driven by pure creative defiance, Milktoast Productions stands at the crossroads of chaos and craft. Our projects push boundaries across death metal, black metal, sludge, doom, and the darker corners of electronica, each release a descent into something powerful, unsettling, and beautifully unrestrained. We don’t chase trends; we create movements that leave scars in sound.

Check out the latest releases and explore our past lineup, a living archive of crushing riffs, glacial tempos, and ethereal atmospheres. Whether it’s the suffocating weight of doom or the mechanical pulse of industrial electronica, every record under the Milktoast banner carries the same spirit: raw emotion, unfiltered expression, and an unholy dedication to the underground.
