Record Of The Day: Ghost-Opus Eponymous

Where to start writing about my favorite Metal record since Mastodon-Leviathan? Well if you're a fan of the Dark Lorde Satan such as myself, Mercyful Fate, and Blue Oyster Cult then meet your new favorite band....GHOST from Sweden!

"Opus Eponymous" is an instant classic in my book, from the totally awesome overly Satanic lyrics, to the catchy lyrics and riffs. It's brilliant that this wasn't recorded in 1986 and that Heavy Metal is still alive and well in Sweden. Check out their first ever video interview, all of the band members are nameless and take keeping who they truly are very secretive.  I personally think is cool as shit that some people still take the theatrical aspects of Metal and can get away with it in a way that works in their favor. Ghost is not some over hyped band, or a band everyone will enjoy. But with those of us who love hearing about Black Masses, Witches, Satan, and the end of days this 34 minute beast of a recording leaves me wanting more.
Ghost is made up of six nameless ghouls and I think that is pretty fucking cool.
So man up, throw on this record, and fucking enjoy!
