Ghost Romance

Ghost Romance is the second full-length album by Triple Seven. It was self-released on June 14, 2011. It is the only album to feature bassist Paulie Schumaker and rhythm guitarist Lou Killings. The cover illustration was drawn by comic book artist/writer Mike Mignola, of whom guitarist Ray Drieberg is a fan. Despite exceptionally low sales, the record garnered positive reception -- critics noted a particular fondness for Ashlee Erickson's performance, the pacing, and instrumentation. 
To many VII-Ups, the record continues to be seen as the group's crowning jewel, an opinion shared by both Erickson and (to some degree) Drieberg. Half the record creeps its way into even the band's most recent setlists, and the current lineup hasn't ruled out the possibility of performing the whole thing live.
==Composition==
In stark contrast to the band's previous releases, The Painkiller That Committed Suicide and A Prayer for the Damned, the sophomore album features an entirely different style. Still rooted in metal, the record showcases more of a metalcore sound with alternative and experimental proclivities, bolstered by Erickson's wider vocal range and busier musicianship.
Drummer Derrick Halsey revealed in an interview that his growing disdain for the deathcore scene was what caused the paradigm shift. Erickson herself echoed similar sentiments at the time, but her perspective on the movement softened between Halsey's dismissal and the launch of Finding Enjoyment in Chaos.
