Gotcha. Ghost is a metal pop concept band, where the front man is an ongoing chain of satanic antipopes (while still being the same dude in face paint). Only they are all really bad at converting the world to Satan worship on account of doing the actual work is no fun, and what’s the point of being the satanic antipope if you aren’t gonna have fun.
Sounds great! Only…
Metalheads are like “this isn’t metal” and they’re kinda right. Its pop music, but metal and satanic.
Also, the front man may have fucked over his bandmates, or maybe not, depends really. I’m inclined to say his behavior may have been shitty, but that’s something you should work out beforehand.
This is because they seem like they would be a metal band but are not. Ghost doesn’t claim that but some fans do from time to time and it never fails to rage bait metal fans.
I love Ghost’s image, genre and sound. My only complaint is all their songs started sounding the same when I tried to do a straight listen-through of their works.
Ghost comes to mind. I’ve never had a problem with them and a lot of their songs I think are pretty good. Seems like they get shit on a lot though.
I love ghost. Great songwriting and their mixes are fuckin solid (Andy Wallace of course)
Really? I’ve never heard anything bad about them, whenever I hear someone talk about them it’s always very positive
“they’re not ‘heavy metal’, and not really satanic”
People just struggle to put them in a category, and that hurts some people’s brains but I really dig it.
Seconded. They make good music and seem to have fun doing it.
Have anything to read about them? Never even heard of them

I really like their cover of Avalanche, originally by Leonard Cohen.
