Warthur
Marking the development of the vocal style over their first album by having "Papa Emeritus II" succeed the original Papa Emeritus (it's entirely possible, and even likely, that they're both the same dude), Ghost bring forth Infestissumam and with it an impressive evolution of their sound. Whilst I thought their first album relied a little too heavily on their "anonymous Satanists" gimmick, the band shift to a more hard rock-based sound with some tracks being downright danceable - but the foreboding atmosphere they establish from the intro track onwards ensures that matters stay interesting throughout the album. Some may question this shift in their musical direction, though for my part I welcome it since it gives their music a distinct flavour and personality which Opus Eponymous, if you set aside their stage trappings, frankly lacked.
