Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Meliora broke Ghost big but now it seems Prequelle is getting everyone on board. So many of the old classic bands never got recognition till their third or fourth album. It's like these guys just showed up a few decades after the party. I know. It does take some bands a handful of albums to really build something and gain a bigger fan base. People were saying back when the first album came out that they would headline arenas one day. While their songs were catchy I didn't see it at the time because of the Satan heavy lyrics. But once they ditched that they really started to take off. You aren't gonna get a lot of people raising lighters and singing along to the lyrics on that debut album, but they're vague enough and emotive enough here to definitely get the crowd going, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Prequelle reached me in a big way. Nothing before was really bad just not my speed. like i said. whether a conscious decision or not this album shows them trying to reach more people. the retro 80's pop sheen ticks my boxes Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think Prequelle just turned me on to it's three prequels. Pun intended but moving on. I know I said in another thread that I understood the appeal and it just wasn't there for me, well I guess I haven't exactly revisited the debut yet, but hearing Cirice now having heard Prequelle, this works way better than I ever though it did before. Wow this is great. They should really drop the metal tag for good, because rock needs this band way more than metal. Countless bands under the rock heading need to start taking notes from Ghost, production, songwriting, promotion, the whole shebang...well, lyrics aside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the albums are indeed way to bright for that. and the hooks are straight pop in many ways. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 but than again maybe the image and the opposite brighter sound is the idea. i don't know, lol many fans say that's the "joke" Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I saw Tribulation open for Ghost two years ago. They were really boring live. I know Tobias was trying to help some friends and fellow countrymen out but they were not the right band to open for them. Crowd was one of the most disinterested I've ever seen for an opener. Nothing Tribulation did connected at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Tribulation did connected at all. I have to say Tribulation aren't a band I can imagine American audiences enjoying. But there gigs get great crowd responses in Europe. I'd say they would be perfect Ghost support for me. But in the UK that sort of line-up would be perfect for the sort of metal tastes over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Tremonti (of Alter Bridge) Dropped his new record Yesterday A Dying Machine. it's Certainly Tremonti. Using pretty Much the exact same formula as every album. Loud hook-y melodies. Grand Choruses, but this is Tremonti going bigger. Same stuff. just MORE.....if that makes sense. While not a bad thing.......and this record is Instantly enjoyable. at an hour long. It does wear on you. it really is a nonstop record. it's the cheesy dick flick action movie of music. it's fast hard......and it rarely let's up. For those drawbacks. it's greatness shines through. Early Favs Bringer of WarA dying MachineMake it HurtThe Silence Becomes Me i'd recommend it. 8/10 Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 By the by.....A Dying Machine. in the now 3 spins i've given it. Blows away the Last Hero. Which burned brightly at first.......but lost my interest quickly. i Still like Myles Record better too. but this is a solid......if draining listen.
