GHOST Opus Eponymous - 2010 U.K. CD, Doom Metal meets MERCYFUL FATE
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 2010 Cat. No.: 919831 Label: Rise Above
GHOST's 'Opus Eponymous' is a daringly fascinating combination of satanic rock music merged with an almost unthinkable pop sensibility; this is black metal at its most original and deceiving apex.
Musically rich and teeming with an undeniably authentic classic metal aura (described "as if the last three decades of heavy metal history never existed"), 'Opus Eponymous' baits and ensnares with its undeniable accessibility while "majestically weaving a melodic spell of evil through the senses until listeners become utterly possessed and open to any diabolical suggestion".
Stylewise you can descripe this as a mix between old MERCYFUL FATE and vintage Doom Metal with some 1970s influences thrown in for good measure.
