Val22 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I got tickets for my kids, but decided not to go. They wanted GA and I don't like to stand too long.Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a cool show and I'm sure it'll be video taped by hundreds of fans with their cell phones.

axlslash Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 SO EXCITED for the new record. From The Pinacle and Circe are both great tracks, and I love the new looks for both Papa and the Ghoul masks. Looking forward to a big 2nd half of the year from these guys.Also, good news, they are not Ghost BC anymore!http://loudwire.com/ghost-no-longer-obligated-to-use-b-c-in-name/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a European metal band I was really into in highschool called Dyecrest. Their real name was Dyecast, but when they wanted to start selling records in the states, there was some other band already called Diecast, and the label made them change it. Fuckin' stupid rule, but I guess I get it. There's a similar rule in Hollywood with actors' names, but that's part of the union contract and not just scared lawyers.In any case, glad we'll get the logo in all its unglory without that little postscript this time around.

axlslash Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 This album is shaping up to blow the first two away. Pinnacle and Absolution are just fucking killer. I can't wait for the rest!I know their first time around they did a fair number of in-store appearances as promotion. Any word on whether they'll do any this time around? I know I can't make the show in my area, but I'd love to get a copy of the record signed if they do one near me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I don't know if they'll be doing in-stores or not, but I had to share this little anecdote about them thinking of that. I didn't actually meet any of them, but last year at Sonisphere Knebworth I was hanging out with Anthrax backstage. We were in the artist area, and Ghost were coming back from the main stage for their set. It was so funny to watch - they all walk in formation, surrounding Papa, and they even walk in step with one another. If anyone said anything to them (I'm guessing something like "nice set" or whatever, since I was watching it from the other side of the area), they would just put their hands together and nod, while still walking.I just think it's so fucking awesome they go so far with their stage gimmick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that they stick with it, even though we know who Papa is (and that he's probably the Nameless Ghoul that does the interviews) and know that it's all an act. The interviews and public interactions that we see from the band are all amazing. But most importantly, that they're good enough to pull it off. A shitty band putting on this spectacle would never get anywhere, but these guys are so good that it's no big deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Holy shit. Majesty is easily the best Ghost song yet, from any album, period. And I don't place a song above Con Clavi Con Dio lightly. Absolutely love this song, and cannot fucking wait until this record comes out.

Silent Jay Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Album leaked Pre order here:http://kingsroadmerch.com/ghost/?id=2087Spirit sounds like a psychedelic, 70s rock-organ song. It's all right, probably a grower as well with Deus In Absentia. Or heavy song like Mummy Dust, Tobias sings it in a lower register.The best track might be He Is, beautiful ballad, amazing chorus. As you know, Absolution, Pinnacle and Majesty feel like instant classics. I'm in love with the guitar solo and the riffs of Cirice.Spoksonat and Devil Chruch are like one minute instrumentals, pretty meh.An eight songs album, goosebumps all over, no fillers. A classic of mine. Edited August 12, 2015 by Silent Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well wait but at the same time, why wait? Edited August 12, 2015 by CheapJon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Fuck, I hate when an album I can't wait for leaks, I don't want to download it but I want to hear it so badly...Glad to see fans giving it the same rave reviews that the metal press has so far. I get cynical when the press goes gaga over stuff, but if fans dig on it too....fuck I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 So Ghost had to move their Philly concert because of the Pope's visit. They are handling it exactly how you would expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Just finished my first full listen, of which there shall be several more over the course of the week. Initial take-away: holy shit. This band was already amazing for the first 2 albums and the EP; this is just on another level. The flow and atmosphere feels much more cohesive, and the songs are much stronger and more consistent. Majesty still gets the top spot for me, with Spirit and CIrce not far behind. A great effort by Papa and Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klykan Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 You can hear so many influences like purle, sabbath, queen and even Abba but It still sound so fresh. Only song that ruins it for me is Mummy dust which would be better fit on the second album.It very close to a perfect album. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 The first acoustic show is up, in all of its pro-shot gory. HOLY SHIT. Papa has a baller-ass outfit, and they sound tight as all get-out acoustic. SO FUCKING PISSED THEY WON'T BE DOING ONE OF THESE NEAR ME! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
