Ghost, the amazing band you've never heard of!
Ghost, I am sure to many, are an acquired taste. And thankfully it's a taste I like! If I were to narrow down who to compare them to, my comparisons would be to liken them to Black Sabbath, crossed with The Beach Boys or ABBA! Sounds like an odd combination for sure, but IT WORKS! I have only recently purchased their previous two albums and ep based upon hearing the new track "Cirice" on the radio. The previous albums instantly clicked with me. With "Meliora", the album didn't click with me right away. I had to listen to it over and over again, and now, it has totally clicked with me. It's a great addition to their catalog. "Spirit" and "Absolution" are personal favorites on this album, but nothing compares to "Year Zero" from "Infestissumam" to my ears!

Their Best Work to Date
I think this is Ghost's best work to date. Seems like they took the best elements of the first two albums and combined them on this one. Fantastic riffs combined with great melodies, choruses and guitar solos. This is a landmark album from one of the few metal bands around who still value the importance of melody and good songwriting vs. trying to be "over the top" all the time. My only complaint would be that the drums are somewhat buried in the mix. I was going to mention that it's a bit short, but then I looked at their other albums. Opus Eponymous is only 34 minutes long, and Infestissumam is only 47 minutes long. This one clocks in at 41 minutes, so it's par for the course. Ghost just keep you wanting more. Nothing wrong with that. If you are a fan of classic sounding metal/hard rock, I'd highly recommend this album. You won't be disappointed. I've noticed a lot of Metallica fans are also Ghost fans. That's not a coincidence (I'm one of them).

Their best release.
Ghost! Such a cool band. They remind me of a lot of those 70s metal bands like Blue Oyster Cult. As a Christian, their image is something I can look past, because I really dig these guys! If you liked any of their earlier releases you'll LOVE this one. If you're completely new to the band, START HERE! You will be blown away by this release. It is incredible and so addicting to listen to.
