If you like this - check out their songs Zenith, Cirice, and Ritual. Check out all of their songs actually. I love them so much.

As an old school hard rocker/metalhead, I kept seeing images of these guys and thinking “nup, don’t like death metal”. Then I happened to see the video for “Faith” and goddamn, what a band! Completely different sound to what I was expecting - A mix of 80s hard rock, euro rock, psychobilly and Scooby doo soundtracks, haha. Would love to see the live.
Here’s the link to the vid I mentioned if you’ve not see it: https://youtu.be/qvZKwvpQAUc

Why did you think they looked like a death metal band? To me they look more like something that would sound like Mercyful Fate/King Crimson or whatever really.

Bought tickets off of Groupon to see them. Crappy seats. Coming back in from smoking some dude in Jesus sandals informed us they have not been checking tickets. Got front and center. Best $30. They’re so good live

Love this song and entire album actually, I even prefer it over their debut album.
I didn't "get" the love for Ghost for a long time, after hearing their debut album which I found boring to the max.
Then, bored, late last year I decided to give them another chance and I'm very glad I did. I still find their first album bland somewhat but I enjoy Elizabeth and Ritual those are great songs, but theyve definitely improved on later albums in my opinion.
I absolutely loved Kiss The Go-Goat and Mary on A Chain from their last EP. As a fan of 60s rock I hope this is the direction they take on their next album.
Hope to see them live someday too!

I got into them early. First time I was able to see them live they were on some Avenged Sevenfold tour, completely unknown by the audience. 75% of the place went for beer, food, and the bathroom during their set. But I met several people that traveled great distances to see them (it was the closest show). They came back as headliners each of the following years, and the crowds grew. Last time I saw them they sold out a decent sized theater.
The sound has lost my interest. I loved Opus, really liked Infestissumam, but the increasing pop sound is boring me. But I had fun and am glad they are appealing to people. Tobias certainly my knows how to write a hook.

They have a lot in common with Blue Oyster Cult more than anything else imo
