I’ve always been a bit hesistant in terms of excitement when bands feel an urge to dress up and hide behind masks. Do they really need to dress up to get attention? Is their music not strong enough in itself? In the case of e.g. Gwar, that hasn’t always been the case (although their show is hilarious). KISS is also a good example of a band who for the most part sounded terrible, but got there because of their image. With the dark minstrel of Ghost, it is different. They’re really onto something.<\/p>\n

When I saw Ghost support Metallica last year, I enjoyed the gig, but wasn’t sure about the music. It could be because I hadn’t had the chance to listen to any of it before the concert, or simply because they weren’t that fantastic at the time. Whatever hesistation I had back then, it’s gone now.<\/p>\n

‘Meliora’ is an amazing album. Fair and square.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, the production and mix of ‘Meliora’\u00a0are perfect – Klas \u00c5hlund and Andy Wallace have done\u00a0their\u00a0 job excellently. The album has a warm and rounded sound, both the\u00a0pop tunes and the more hard\u00a0hitting ones. Everything stands out clearly and conveys a kind of soft bombast, if that makes sense.<\/p>\n

‘Meliora’ fuses 70s hardrock with organs, choirs and that particular Swedish penchant for writing hit pop songs. And somehow, I sense that it is the latter that makes the difference between Ghost and the armies of retro bands who try to make a buck these days. Ghost not only have a concept, they have the songs and the sound.<\/p>\n

Over the past\u00a0three weeks, this album has become one of my favourite audio backdrops at work.\u00a0You can use it as easy listening, which doesn’t disturb you\u00a0whilst focusing on your work, and yet, once you turn your attention to it, there are so many great details and elements to dive into. And there are the heavily rocking tunes like From the Pinnacle to the Pit and Mummy Dust with those catchy riffs and superb choruses. Also, I love when you little by little discover details you hadn’t noticed before. Like the lyric that is sung in\u00a0an actually very nice and pleasant way in the 70s prog rock pastiche Majesty: ‘Pathetic humans in despair’, ‘…rotting carcasses clog the deep’ etc.<\/p>\n

Ghost are seemingly just another retro band among many, but in my view, they have\u00a0much more on offer than the majority of the retro bands. If you haven’t already, allow yourself into the congregation for a while and join the ceremony. Despite my initial hesitation, I haven’t regretted doing it.<\/p>\n
