An Indie Exclusive reissue of Ghost's 2015 album Meliora, pressed on coke bottle clear vinyl.
An Indie Exclusive reissue on coke bottle clear vinyl, which looks exactly as churchy as it should. Meliora hit No. 1 in Sweden and No. 8 on the Billboard 200, and its lead single "Cirice" won the 2016 Grammy for Best Metal Performance.
Somewhere around Meliora, Ghost stopped being a cult band and started being a cult, the fun kind, with a pope in face paint and a congregation that now fills arenas. Tobias Forge's Swedish outfit made this third album with producer Klas Åhlund, and when it came out on Loma Vista in August 2015 it went straight to No. 1 at home in Sweden, No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and No. 9 here in Canada.
It's a heavier, sharper record than the two before it, all big riffs and organ swells and choruses you can sing in a hockey arena, and it carries "Cirice," which took home the Grammy for Best Metal Performance, along with "From the Pinnacle to the Pit" and "Majesty." One reviewer called it "a peculiar hybrid of Sabbath-like metal, and progressive rock," which is a fair summary of Ghost in general, and another said it "rocks harder than ever." Pressed on coke bottle clear vinyl for independent shops, this is the one we'd hand to anyone who loves heavy music but secretly wishes it had more hooks (and more incense).
"Rocks harder than ever."
