was gonna point that out Mort haha

sounds great Jom, can't wait to spin this. I love everything about this band.

@Irving, I'm pretty certain they've never actually changed vocalists, it's just another part of the gimmick that they get a new Papa every album.

All hail Papa E. III

Mort.

Papa has (and basically) will always be Tobais Forge (formerly Crash Diet/Repugnant). I love how they stick with the 'dark pope' schtick and the old Papa "steps down" every year. Just a way of the band having some fun.



Other major rumors include Dave Grohl playing for the band (true) and that the bassist is or was a woman at one point (unknown).

No, your grammar is spot on when it comes to using 'wont'. It is the post-positive adjective of the word. It's middle English, which has been dumbed-down by our failing society of texting thumb warriors.

Haha Jom I love you



This is just as good as Opus, if not better. More riffs can certainly be found here than on the solid Infestissumam, and with just as much diversity.

We should change the name to just Ghost since no other band is taking the title

The fact that they released Cirice as lead single is beyond me, its the best track off this and gave away too much.

Cirice is a good bridge track for those that enjoyed Opus but not Infestissumam (and vice versa) as it appeals almost universally to the Ghost fan spectrum.



A track like He Is would have put off those looking for something heavier, and something like Mummy Dust would have done the same for those looking for the pop/aor influence.
