Music: Ghost

[Everlasting]

Who here loves Ghost?

After wining a grammy in 2016 in both USA and Sweden, Ghost is starting to take the world by storm. While they have not acomplished what swedish veterans like In Flames have they are about to surpass them and i can see them being the most successful swedish metal act of all time if it continues to go so well for them. They are currently the most exciting metal act for me. Love their old school retro sound and their satanic image. Reminds me of Black Sabbath. Also, all you NA folks can see them live togheter with Iron Maiden this summer

Members:
Papa Emeritus III
5 nameless Ghouls
Dave Grohl (On and off.. we really dont know so much of his involvement)

All members wear masks and play a characters. There are Papa Emeritus III (Singer) and his 5 nameless Ghouls. Dave Grohl has played drums in studio and also live acording to rumours. Also produced.

unique, that is foresure. I don't think I would personally call it or acknowledge their sound as metal from what you have posted above, sounds more alternative/rock to me.

As i stated, they are very inspired by old school heavy metal. Reminds alot of bands like Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult. Not calling them metal is understandable.

Just listen to THIS. That is not metal. Overall, its a good mix of both rock and metal. Id say call them whatever. It is awesome music.

Two of my friends are very into them but I have yet to get into them.

Hear them often on Octane(SiriusXM).

Not bad, but nothing so far that has blown me away.

Just discovered this band. Really digging their sound. Actually want to see them in concert but none of my buddies like/know them. Might have to bust a @G F O P and go alone.

I saw them open up for Iron Maiden last summer. They sounded great live. You should go.

Rats is a badass tune

Rats is a badass tune

That's the one off the new album that grabbed me.
I like Square Hammer, Cirice, Secular Haze, He Is, Pendulum and the Pit...but I can't seem to make a dent in their catalogue. The deep cuts don't do it. Genuinely love their hit singles, though.

I dont like rats at all... all the poppy singing turns me off.

Seems your behind, there was a fourth Papa Emeritus and he is now Cardinal Copla. Interesting music and showmanship but not one of my favorite bands.
