I’m also reminded of John Carpenter’s Prince Of Darkness and Michael Mann’s The Keep. The sound quality of the record is not as good as other pressings of the same album. With their fan base quickly growing in numbers, this record has become quite the talk online. Every Ghost album has a theme and is always a slight departure from the last. "Prequelle" was nominated for the Best Rock Album Grammy Award at the 61st annual awards ceremony and the Swedish Grammis Award in the category of Hard rock/metal. Fortunately, I was able to remove it carefully without damage. "[3] Forge wanted to explore the use of the piano on Prequelle, citing "Life Eternal" he said "I wanted it be very ambitious, almost classical, and the piano gives that song air and clarity..."[21], Prequelle received positive reviews from critics upon its release. Tobias macht aber keine simple Kopie, er packt als Rhythmusgitarre einfach mal das Stakkato von „Love like Blood“ (Killing Joke) rein, überzieht das mit dem GHOST-eigenen Sound und es passt! In general, the product seems cheaply made, and this box set does not satisfy the quality expectations of serious record collectors.

Prequelle is the fourth full length studio album from the Swedish cult band, Ghost. wrote that the album "expertly builds momentum, only to be bogged down by uninspiring tracks" and suggested that "With a bit better pacing and fewer drawn-out moments between songs, the record could have been the best of their career."[25]. Great album....yeah,probably a bit more commercial and radio friendly but who cares,this will catapult them on to the big stage where they belong...they still play alot of the older stuff live so they haven't forgotten the old Ghost...my only minor complaint about this version of the cd is the very thin cardboard sleeve (not even a digital pack),it just makes this product so cheap and nasty,bring back the plastic jewel case please. The second single, "Dance Macabre", later topped the same chart for two weeks as well. Musikalisch habe ich wieder Nuancen von Blue Oyster Cult, Dream Theater, Kiss, ABBA usw.

„Faith“ hat bei mir allerdings noch nicht ganz gezündet. Genial! All writing credited to "A Ghoul Writer" in the booklet. "[17], The opening track "Ashes" features Minou Forge, Tobias’ daughter, singing "Ring a Ring o' Roses", a nursery rhyme said to have originated during the Plague.
[23] At the end of 2018, Revolver and Metal Hammer named it the best album of the year. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 81, which indicates "universal acclaim", based on 9 reviews. Dass Tobias Forge die Kompositionen meisterhaft „zusammen bauen“ kann, zeigt er auch nochmal zum Schluss beim Bonustrack und Coversong „It’s a Sin“. Every Ghost album has a theme and is always a slight departure from the last. A lot of the slower melodies put me in mind of Italian horror films of the 80s. [18][19], "Rats" is about something "spreading as wildfire and completely destroying things quicker than you know," like the Black Death. [3], In another plague reference, "Dance Macabre" aims to capture a "joyous nocturnal sort of life in a disco song", such as people excessively partying because they know they are going to die. This one is so fresh and varied that it actually redefined the band. [1] The album's themes include medieval times and the Black Death, along with more modern subject matters.

Prequelle is the fourth full length studio album from the Swedish cult band, Ghost. Prequelle is the fourth studio album by the Swedish rock band Ghost. With their fan base quickly growing in numbers, this record has become quite the talk online. My new favorite band keep it together and move on well in this their 4th main album - of which as a newbie Ive only now heard this and Meloria - so Im looking forwards to exploring the first albums. After their last record - Meliora - and with the current court case against Tobias Gorge, I worried that this album would suck hard. What do I love? It has a lot to live up to and I am happy to say that it does the job. In general, the product seems cheaply made, and this box set does not satisfy the quality expectations of serious record collectors. I was delightfully wrong. But he said it also led to "mortality issues" such as memento mori and "seize the day" because the other half survived. [6], Three singles were released for the album, "Rats" on 13 April 2018 (Nominated for 'Best Rock Song' at the 61st Grammy Awards), and "Dance Macabre" on 18 May 2018, and "Faith".

That is something that has affected me and this record a lot. Great album but cheap packaging on this version. Das neue GHOST Album liefert wieder einige Überraschungen und führt uns thematisch nun ins Mittelalter ..... eigentlich nicht wirklich, denn die damaligen Plagen dienen vor allem auch als Spiegelbild unserer heutigen Zeit: Das an sich zeigt schon, auf welchem intellektuellen Niveau das GHOST Theater mittlerweile agiert. It was released on 1 June 2018 and produced by Tom Dalgety.

スウェーデンのオカルトハードロック・バンドGhostが、2018年に出した4thアルバムです。今作からヴォーカルの人のステージネームが「カーディナル・コピア（コピア枢機卿）」となっています。, スウェーデン出身ということ以外一切の素性が謎に包まれていたGHOSTだったが、昨年思わぬところから中心人物のパパ・エメリタスの正体がREPUGNANTやCRASHDIETといったバンドで活動していたトビアス・フォージという人であることがバレてしまい、更にバンドの元メンバー達からギャラの未払いで訴えられるという騒動を起こしてバンドの神秘性にミソがついたかと思われたが、その勢いは全く衰えることがなかった。, バンド名、ジャケ絵、そしてメンバーの風貌から想像するような音楽性ではない。ポップで哀愁のある正統派ロックで、日本人受けすること受け合い。ボーカルも怪しげばメイクからは想像もつかない、（いい意味で）ポップグループのような歌声を聴かせてる。第一印象で損しまくっているのが残念。音楽は本当いいいので、もっと評価されて欲しいバンド。. 2017's Popestar EP hit number 16 while its single, "Square Hammer," topped the mainstream rock list. It has been three years since Sweden's Ghost released the wildly successful Meliora, which peaked at number eight on the Top 200 chart, led by its number five single "Cirice." It’s a cornucopia of musical styles that come together in a well conceived and perfectly executed album. He and Meliora producer Klas Åhlund played with the idea of having a "sort of Brian May guitar symphony" with it on that album, but did not have the time. The album marked the band's strongest selling debut to date, landing at number 3 on the Billboard 200, selling 66,0…
Records had a lot of debris on them and scuff marks.

The shrink-wrap plastic was torn in one area and their was a lengthy gouge in the box at the same place. [20], The closing track "Life Eternal" asks if you were given the choice to live forever, "Would you want to do that?

Dass Tobias Forge die Kompositionen meisterhaft „zusammen bauen“ kann, zeigt er auch nochmal zum Schluss beim Bonustrack und Coversong „It’s a Sin“. This made the whole process "very relaxed" and "focused." Tobias macht aber keine simple Kopie, er packt als Rhythmusgitarre einfach mal das Stakkato von „Love like Blood“ (Killing Joke) rein, überzieht das mit dem GHOST-eigenen Sound und es passt! Alle Songs des neuen Albums sind klasse und untereinander abwechslungsreich. The album starts off in true Ghost form with a short but creepy introduction titled, Ashes. [3], Forge wrote the string intro of "Pro Memoria" a few years earlier than this album. Most notable is Danse Macabre, a pounding pop rock anthem that owes more than a passing nod to ABBA. [15] The album includes 1970s and 80s influences such as, Blue Öyster Cult, Boston, ABBA, and hair metal. Thus, the single was stuck to the glue when it arrived. [5], Forge also said that it is themed around "medieval times, but it's definitely clinging onto a lot of very current things. The album was released with five different versions of the cover art, each with the rider and horse in the foreground placed in a different position. "GHOST's New Album Lands at No. Feeling it would make a good start for a new song, Forge transcribed the notes from his demo, which was done with strings on a keyboard, and sent it to a conductor who recorded it in finality. Their strengths – including one for imitation – are fully assembled and focused in an exercise of irresistible arena rock excess without sounding like a pastiche.
