The band got together to rehearse on April 17 and decided to share the moment with fans.
The Ghost Inside went live on the band's Facebook page to “hang out” with fans while they set up the practice space.
Bassist Jim Riley explained they wouldn't show the actual rehearsal because “Lord only knows what's it going to sound like.”
You can watch the livestream below:
Guitarist Zach Johnson also shared a picture of the practice on Twitter, writing “After 2+ years, this is the best feeling I’ve ever had. Thank you to everyone for sticking with us.”

The Ghost Inside were involved a serious bus accident on Nov. 19, 2015, and have faced extensive recovery following their crash.
Last month, vocalist Jonathan Vigil shared an update with fans following his recent ankle fusion surgery and the difficulty behind finally going through with the decision.
“Today I progressed. My doctor told me that my boot can come off and I can start physical therapy to learn how to walk again,” he wrote. “With no more pending surgeries or hospital stays planned, I can’t help but be happy.”
Vigil also took to Instagram to talk more about the heartbreak of not being able to play shows. “Being completely honest and transparent, going to shows is HARD. And I don’t mean hard in the physical sense because most venues, staff, security, patrons and show goers are very accommodating to handicapped or injured people,” Vigil shared.
“What I mean is it’s just hard… being here. It’s hard to know what we were and what we could be.”
The band will not be on the final Warped Tour lineup because they “aren't quite fit for the stage yet.”
The Ghost Inside drummer Andrew Tkaczyk recently released an EP, Coma Visions, from his new project, One Decade.
