Anatomy of a Ghost was an American emo/screamo band from Portland, Oregon, some of whose members originally hailed from Alaska.
History
Anatomy of a Ghost formed early in 2002 and gained popularity through live performances and through internet promotional channels. In 2003 they toured the United States with Saosin and Boys Night Out.[1] Their debut (and only) record, Evanesce, was released in October 2003 on Fearless Records. Despite warm critical reception,[1][2][3][4] the group broke up in May 2004.[1][5] The group reunited briefly in 2005 to put together a new album, but the project never materialized. In the meantime, John Gourley and Zach Carothers began playing in the group Portugal. The Man,[6] and Dewey Halpaus had started a group called The Burning Room. Prior to forming Anatomy of a Ghost, Dewey Halpaus, and brothers Nick and Joe Simon were in a band called Nice Guy Eddie.
