genre : black/dark/heavy metal
similar bands : Kind Diamond, Black Sabbath, The Devil's Blood, Watain
origin : Sweden
strong spot : catchy refrains
weak spot : I'd prefer more diversity in the vocals (if there were some screams they would definitely add in the atmosphere)
Rarely do I recommend albums with clean vocals, especially if the music is close to heavy metal. But Ghost are not the conventional heavy metal band since their lyrics talk about Satanism, witchcraft etc and their image resembles that of a black metal band. The music is also really dark and full of obscure melodies, creepy solos and catchy refrains in the vein of Kind Diamond. This album definitely comprises black metal elements even though the guitar distortion and the band's performance is very close to 70s rock and 80s heavy metal.
