Ghost

[Palabra de Dios]

I like to listen to music in the car. I don't have a tape player in the car. I have a CD player. I will stick to CDs for the time being.

 

[Diabolik]

I finally got a CD player in my car in August this year. It was all cassete tapes till then.

Yep, and In Solitude and Repugnant share a bassist. Makes sense.

I was actually unfamiliar with In Solitude until recently. Their s/t is kind of cool. Been digging them and Portrait lately.

 

[Justin G]

it isnt bad but reminds me of the end credit song from a bad 80's horror comedy.

See, that just guarantees that I'll be checking this album out.

Portrait are cool but they just got a new singer who I havent heard yet. I hope he is as good as thier guy they recorded with.

 

[dcowboys311]

Looks like Metal Blade picked em up, at least for stateside distribution.

 

[1000 Faces]

Repugnant members are definitely in Ghost. The singer is Mary Goore. The names I've heard tossed around for the other band are In Solitude and Watain but Watain seems unlikely.

Teddy Möller said on PMX that he was supposed to be their singer, but chose to quit because he thought the demos sucked and he was already in too many other bands.

The link Simon posted works. I just got it in the weekly radio email I get from MB saying it was adding soon.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Holy shit, this RULES!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks dcowboys. By the way, I totally had a moment of dyslexia this whole time because I've called you "dccowboys" in the past, but I'm an idiot so it's all good. You arguably have the best taste on this board.

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Upon doing some quick research of this band, I think their mystique is badass and fits with their vibe. Not unlike Portal or Deathspell Omega.

 

[AngraRULES]

It's starting to grow on me. A few spins into it, and I like their vibe.

We'll see how many times it'll take for me to say I am totally digging it.

I did the same thing actually, though that's not quite dyslexia as much as it is adding an extra letter.

 

[dcowboys311]

Heh I never really noticed.
Appreciate the compliments though. Not sure if my taste is a result of good filtering or an excessive amount of time spent looking up bands! Hopefully the former.

 

[mel_progson]

I dug them as soon as I heard them. Love the deliberate oldschool vibe and production. Love that they're taking the piss lyric wise.

 

[Jasonic]

Looks like Jason would call them a gimmick band...they wear costumes.....

Of course this is a gimmick band!!!!!!!
But, it also rules. I definitely plan on getting this disc.

Bob - Too funny about your comment on 80s cheesy movie credit, since I think I said something similar on your Facebook post about them.

Yeah, it is funny when people mention, "Oh, what crappy production"

So let me guess. People who claim this don't listen to ANY albums which were recorded analog??????????

Seems like an absurd statement from any hard rock or metal fan of any genre.

 

[Jasonic]

Metal Blade picked them up? Cool!!!!

I would love to see a PENTAGRAM / GHOST tour. That would rule the school!!!!

 

[Jasonic]

Checked for this disc on AMAZON, and it looks like METAL BLADE will be releasing it on January 18.

 

[TribunalRecords]

Powerwolf is the king of cheesy satan! They even wrote a song about it hehe..Saturday Satan. Anyway this band Ghost is not really my cuppa either. I like some elements but I find the sound to be rather weak. Needs more oomph!

i love POWERWOLF!! the first two albums are great, but third isn't so hot.

but this GHOST stuff is fun in the same way. nothing groundbreaking but a good metal record with plenty of hooks about Satan. i have a leak of the record, but will pick up in January for sure on CD.

and finally someone truly channels a BOC vibe and a good one!

Rise Above (Lee Dorian of Cathedral's label) picked them up and they are distroed by MB. Plus, signing with MB is almost a guarantee that you won't tour unless you're prepared to pay for all the expenses yourself.
