Comment:
Everything begins with a calm and pious organ intro. Then we are rapidly thrown back decades in sixties-seventies Psychedelic Hard Rock / Doom both occult and overvitaminized. Ghost’s general concept is retro, with the exception of a smooth production (but not insipid). Ghost is orchestrated by awesome clean and limpid vocals which are perfectly controlled. The choruses of each song is ultra catchy. Combined with the vocals you end up with titles that are instantly etched on your mind. Over the flow of riffs a malefic, thick, Transylvanian and opiate/opioid mist pours out from your speakers.
There isn’t a least note to balk, it would stuff me with this music until indigestion. But unfortunately (my single reproach) the album is too short.
It took only one album to Ghost to rise in the Pantheon of indisputable masterpieces.
For the anecdote, although band’s members are anonymous, we already suppose to know that the Ghost singer, Tobias, also plays in the Death Thrash band Repugnant (vocals and lead guitar).

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
