The brazilian metal press (sites, magazines) is talking about the band Ghost ( http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ghost.aspx?ac=ghost" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ghost.aspx?ac=ghost ) with much enthusiasm. This band is really that good? |

I recently saw them playing live on the Copenhell festival 2013, and I found their show pretty entertaining. Their music is a soft type heavy metal with some satanic lyrics. Sort of like Coven meets Blue Oyster Cult meets Mercyful Fate or something like that... ...I kinda like them... ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Yeah, enjoyable show. There is a huge hype around their name and immense promotion. Their first was vintage rock, ripping off Blue Oyster Cult and a couple of Mercyful Fate riffs and melodies. Didn't care for it at all, I guess Elizabeth (which is based on the rhythm of Mercyful Fate's Gypsy) and Ritual (based on a castrated Symphony of Destruction riff with a MF- Return of the Vampire chorus) are quite enjoyable. Some of my friends were very hooked. The second one I thought is much, much better. Better songwriting and better hooks. Still quite soft but enjoyable. I heard their bassist is actually Leif Edling..! ------------- 42 |

| I personally don't think that their music lives up to their impressive persona. I'll give it another go sometime. |

Their albums are a bit filler-y

| I love Ghost's music, it's just so catchy and unoffensive... I really don't care for their image or all the hype that surrounds them though. |
