1. Ghost - Infestissumam
In
the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and there was darkness.
And
it was good.
Ghost
are not providing the soundtrack to the world’s beginning, nor its end. Ghost
are the heralds of a new age within the universe; a return to the gestational darkness
of Genesis, colored by the malevolence of the End of Days. Succumbing to their
cabaret of sin is not a sign of weakness, but strength. Accepting the will of
Satan is not accepting slavery, but freedom absolute. In other words, when the
world goes to Hell, you might as well enjoy it – listen to Ghost.
Murder,
mayhem, and malice aren’t showing any signs of slowing down these days; so a
few friends in Sweden got together and started doing what Nordic peoples do
best—praising the devil. Instead of reviling the opposition, like so many of
their pernicious peers, Ghost revel in the regal side of Satanism, trading piss
& vinegar for pomp & circumstance. Papa Emeritus leads each sermon in
his sumptuous tenor while his Nameless Ghouls provide accompaniment, a quintet
of ghastly grinders summoning the devil with matching Gibson Firebirds.
Highlights include "Year Zero," "Secular Haze," and "Depth of Satan's Eyes." The band's 2010 full length debut, Opus Eponymous, was presented as an invocation of the dark angel's worldly return. If the release of Infestissumam is concurrent with Hell upon Earth, then the highway is going to have some killer jams. Ghost have created a clergy more than ready to put the word in the streets.
