I’ve been following Ghost since I heard about them in the Meliora era when I was a freshman in High School. I looked into Opus and Infestissumam and liked what I heard there; I also said I love the progression both musically and production. Then Prequelle released and while at first I had mixed feelings because of the differences with the new era (ex.: no papa but Cardinal Copia) but eventually the standout elements to Prequelle grew onto me and I love that album and era but was excited for this album’s release once Hunter’s Moon released. Now seeing the direction the band is going with this new Impera era has combined the appreciation I have for both Meliora and Prequelle. This is my favorite album from the band (and of 2022 so far) and Kaiserion is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs, the blend of originality and familiarity both from other musical elements and from the band themselves is beautiful. I know I am praising this band a lot and while I can’t say they are perfect, they are truly fun and worth the fandom. At this point the only complaint I have is that this band isn’t touring in more states and cities in the U.S. I want to immerse myself in the Ghost experience and wish they would perform somewhere more convenient for me to travel to. I’m aware that not everyone is going to see eye-to-eye with me, but I want to share my appreciation for Ghost and the clergy as a whole.

Yeah, the American tour is a bummer, they didn't even come to any stop in New York to my knowledge. I've wondered how they figure out where they're going to go based on their stage show, we have a perfect venue for them here in western NY (same size as the above arena) but I have no idea what sales would be like. Also still trying to figure out their demographic (I'm middle age, 80's kid). They had some national exposure on Jimmy Kimmel (mentioning that monumental POS only to promote Ghost, hate the guy) but I don't see any promotions outside of that in the US. P.S. Loved you in Game of Thrones. ;p

Very well said and I couldn’t agree more. This album is killer. Thanks for sharing this video.

They rock you, they love you, they make you laugh and maybe make you cry happy tears. It truly is a spectacle.

Maiden was punk? Are you talking about Iron Maiden? Even their earliest album with Paul at the helm of lead vocals isn't punk. The musical elements alone should signify their difference from the punk scene of that Era. Their lyrics only solidify that argument. I'm not trying to be a dick but you have to realize that the punk and eventually the grunge movement were the very epitome of what Iron Maiden fought against, and not because they hated punk music but for the preservation and continued success of their band. I can see how one might confuse their earliest music for something that might have a fleeting resemblance to thrash or punk but they are not one in the same.

The only thing I can compare them to as far as the full experience goes is seeing Nine Inch Nails on their Downward Spiral tour in the mid 90's, with the Jim Rose Circus opening. Or the time I saw Soundgarden and Pearl Jam open for Neil Young. That was in '93, and Chris Cornell still had long hair. Skinny Puppy and Ministry together hit pretty hard too, and I can't ignore The Cure's near 3 hr. sets around that time. But damn, Ghost know how to put on a show like most bands these days (except for a few, thinking of Tool and Rammstein here...) just can't fathom.
