He is a Goth music lover, fan, blogger, youtuber, and also a Goth musician. Dean Ricks a.k.a Ghoul recently decided to just simply turn his dream of making Goth music into reality by releasing an E.P entitled “White As Death”. The four song E.P is definitely going to be enjoyed by Goth music lovers because of the message behind it. We got a chance to interview him and here is what he had to say below:
Q: Can you please tell our readers your real name as well as your stage name?
I was born Dean Ricks. But i’d rather be known as Ghoul.
Q: Where are you from and Where are you based?
I’m born and raised Northern California. I’ve never ever lived anywhere outside of the San Francisco Bay Area. I currently live in Newark, CA.
Q: At What age did you start making music?
It started early, like in elementary school. I think I wrote my first song in the 4th grade.
Q: what genre would you consider yourself?
I’m for sure in the Gothic and industrial category. I’m either way over to one side or way over to the other.
Q: Tell us about your latest track or Video ( what is it all about)–Please explain the concept or message
My latest release is ‘White As Death’. An E.P. of four songs. Two songs are firmly in the vein of Goth rock (The Bridge, Kill For Peace), and the other two are rooted deeply in industrial dance. (Totentanz, Guinea Pigs.) I’m aiming for the same atmosphere as the first few Sisters Of Mercy releases with the goth tracks, and i’m trying to take after the better moments of Skinny Puppy with the other two tracks.
To explain the tracks: Totentanz is a fun little industrial dance song about someone who dances themselves to death. (Cheerful, right??) Guinea Pigs is my personal protest against unwilling/unsuspecting human medical experimentation, and also in the industrial genre. ‘Kill For Peace’ is a bit of a personal prayer. Something from my heart that would be wonderful if it came true. ‘The Bridge’ is written about the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. ‘The bridge of death’ is a place locals gathered to watch the nuclear power plant burn, not knowing they were getting a *MASSIVE* dose of radiation that would kill them.
I’m just trying to create a mood. A feeling. I’m in love with gothic and industrial culture and fashion as well as the music, and I wanted to contribute.
Q: Who wrote it and what was the inspiration behind it
I wrote it. The inspiration? I guess you could say i’m trying to live a dream…..
Q: If you were given a chance, which Artist would you love to perform with?
Oh, LORD! Blutengel, Grendel, Ramstein, Ghosting, sooooooo many! Most of them German as well!
Q: Where can fans find you? List all your social media links
The EP is available for free on Bandcamp at https://lipstickcyanide1.bandcamp.com/releases and you can also catch the EP on Soundcloud at Nearly all the tracks have already gotten 10,000 plays on Soundcloud.

Press Quotes
“This group always brings top drawer tunage”
– Music Is Truth (Station), Indie Music People
“Barley Station is a rare breed of band that successfully combines all of your favorite genres into a unique sound of their own.”
– Jan Ostegard, Entertainment Vine
“Rootsy alternative country at its best… ‘I Found You’ will find itself at home in any country music fan’s collection.”
– Eric De Fontenay, Music Dish Journal
“They blend alternative country and rootsy folk-rock into a style that has all the pop appeal of the classic Jayhawks records, but remains earthy and resolutely unpolished. It’s a win / win for me, and I’m sure they’d appeal to both No Depression readers and fans of first generation country rock”
– Leicester Bangs (UK)
“Barley Station has an addictive “twang” about their music that, honestly, I never knew I liked. In fact, I had to make a new category in the Genre section for Country just for them.”
-Marsbands.com
“this group is not one to get labeled into one specific genre of music. I say kudos to them for branching out and making music they want to make.”
– Maxim Daniels, IT’s All About That Music
“it’s clear that this is a band that is going in a consistent, forward direction and show no signs of stopping. “Double Star” is brilliant in its Immaculate Conception, composition, and imagery that is evoked when listening but it is also just a small piece of the pie when you consider the capacity and the quality of music that the band has already produced and recorded.”
-CA Marshall in Starlight Music Chronicles Magazine

Born to an outlaw biker father and 16 year old mother, R.W. Roldan came of age in the Los Angeles of the 60’s and 70’s. His family spent a few years homeless, prompting him to join the navy at 17. His young life was full of hard circumstances and difficult environments but Roldan always seemed to soften things with his easy knack for storytelling.
Upon returning to California from his time abroad, R.W. worked all around the San Fernando Valley, immersing himself in the blues and Americana scene. He gravitated towards music and poetry, appreciating contemporary wordsmiths like Dylan and Dr. Seuss as much as American treasures such as Yates and began crafting his own indelible blend of country blues folk rock – a sound that lands somewhere between Hank Williams and Cowboy Junkies.
R.W. now splits his time between his house in the Topanga hills and a newly-purchased dwelling that once belonged to Fatty Arbuckle in Silverlake, where he’s building a studio in the basement. It was professed to be haunted for the past 12 years, but R.W. found it a suitably creative environment to craft the songs on his official solo outing, Can You Feel This, due out August 17th.
The new LP puts Roldan’s adept storytelling front and center, backed by his easy going guitar, mandolin and dobro chops. Tracks like “Big Skies” and “Falling Star” paint an authentically haunting, nostalgic panorama of Los Angeles, while laidback ballads such as “Lauryn’s Song” reveal a sweeter side to the man. It’s all melted in the sweet butter sauce of producer Max Allyn who recently signed R.W. to his AllsWell Records imprint out of Nashville.
Can You Feel This is out now on all platforms. Vinyl and other merchandise is available at AllswellRecords.com
