GHOST 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: The famously and always theatrical nameless ghouls Ghost have been reissuing all their biggest albums of late. Their debut in 2010 set the wheels in motion for the unlikely success with its camp rock thrills, satanic lyrics and huge, arena-ready hooks. That template was tweaked and revisited a number of times including with Ceremony And Devotion which features recordings made on the band's critically acclaimed Popestar tour during the summer of 2017. It is packed with fan favs that span the entirety of the band's catalogue.

Review: Much-hyped Swedish rock band Ghost re-present their fourth studio album, following an original release in 2018. The masked, formerly anonymous supergroup made an initial splash as progenitors of modern heavy and doom metal, amping up the theatrics and rampaging lyrically through such themes as the plague, apocalypse, demon sigils and the antichrist. Prequelle continues the charge, bolstering their Anti-papal image by streamlining their creative process and concluding on a Faustian theme of eternal life.

Review: Winner of the Best Hard Rock/Metal Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards, as well as Best Metal Performance for lead single, 'Cirice'; the third full-length from Swedish goth-rock theatrical absurdists, Ghost, proved that their ambitious, self-aware metallic rock-opera formula was a resonant success. Garnering fans from several differing avenues due to the increasingly expansive nature of their compositions, 'Meloria', was the first sign of the band transcending their pre-determined shackles to traverse soundscapes ranging from progressive and psychedelic rock to doom-laden power-pop of an overtly satanic variety, with many heralding the project as the group's finest endeavour to date.
