From Southern California skies, The Mendenhall Experiment unleashes their new Chasing Ghosts EP — seven visceral tracks forged in fire, grit, and heart. Founded by Brandon Mendenhall, a guitarist born with cerebral palsy who refused every “you can’t,” this band transforms limitation into raw power. Joined by Nathan Stockton (legally blind & deaf) and a full-tilt lineup, they harness metal’s roar to shatter stereotypes and raise disability awareness. This EP is music for the bold, for the outsiders, for anyone daring to seize the day. The EP released today via Lucent Records distributed by Tuff Gong International.

Produced by acclaimed producer Chris Collier (Korn, Prong, Metal Church) and executive produced by Brandon Mendenhall and The Mendenhall Experiment, Chasing Ghosts delivers the band’s signature blend of crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and authentic emotion. 

“’Chasing Ghosts’ is a collection of singles from our first two Ep’s 2017’s ‘The Mendenhall Experiment’ (self titled) and 2022’s ‘Against All Odds’. We wanted to put all these songs together on a proper release, so that the fans can find these jams in one place and take them home. Some are deep cuts, some are brand new never before heard, some are fan favorites. In short, ‘Chasing Ghosts’ takes you on the journey that is The Mendenhall Experiment, Past, Present, and even a glimpse into the Future,” shares Brandon Mendenhall.

The band received another Danny Award from Daniel’s Music Foundation for the 6th Annual Danny Awards in NYC on October 25th 2025. 

Chasing Ghosts is available now on all major streaming platforms.
