The white vinyl version is more than epic. The drawings in the booklet are brilliant. Fantastic stuff.

Meliora enters the US billboard charts at number 8, selling 29,000 copies in its first week.

That's very good for a metal band today. Testaments last album sold 20,000 in its first week and that was considered a success. As if we didn't already know, Ghost has become very popular in the metal world.

Glad to see that their hard work is paying off. Can't wait to see the live show...four days before Halloween!

 

ETA: The Friday following the show is Nevada Day, a State holiday.

You are cast out from the heavens to the ground

Blackened feathers falling down

You are cast out from the heavens to the ground

Blackened feathers falling down

You will wear your independence like a crown

 

I have that going through my head right now, so I figured I would share it :haz:

Probably one of my favorite moments of the entire record.

My current Ghost earworm is "If You Have Ghosts"

 

I don't want my fangs too long...

 

Excellent solo, btw.

There's a lot here to like. It's definitely a nice blend of dark, broody metal with some lighter QOTSA rock elements and stoner rock riffage.

 

The production catches my ear the most though (as someone interested in these things). They have a very balanced sound which is refreshing, they're not shoving or pounding the music into my ears. It may even be a touch too balanced. Certain elements jump out as being too clean and tame, kinda separate from the other instruments (mostly the drums and some of the organ - they sound like they're in another room, which is sound stage speak for saying they're not blended into the overall mix). Anyway, that's enough of my inner music nerd.

 

The vocal harmonies have a certain sameness track to track which I don't particularly care for. Less would be more, they're good harmonies but done so often they lose their impact and uniqueness.

Mine, too, now!

 

Theme-wise, the song is like a satanic subdivisions. Be cool or be cast out. :LOL:
