Review

It’s really fantastic to realize and to understand that your music is still giving birth to great inspirations, concepts and musicians. Ghost, is a newborn of metal/rock music... In 2010 they release their first album and in 2013 their second. Ritual, from Opus Eponymous is a perfect song, with great heavy metal parts and some doom metal characteristics (maybe less than the other songs in the album). The intro is good and the guitar riff, even if it not so original, leads you to the fantastic refrain, by keeping you alerted for something dark. Even though the refrain is not as dark as you would wish, (you have to get at some point that you are not listening to Black Sabbath!), it is so atmospheric, melodic and well performed that instantly you forget about all the other bands that you have related the Ghost to, and make a glorious smile of satisfaction in your face! Oh yes, that’s good music… Enjoy!


Lyrics:

Tonight we´re summoned for a divine cause
Remembrance - No
But for their future loss

This chapel of ritual
Smells of ten human sacrifices
From the altar...

Beduins and nomads
Carried through the times
Through pestilences and famines
These ancient scrolls of rhymes

"Our fallen angel vexed
Was banished from the sky
Recite now from the text
Pray for ALL to die"

This chapel of ritual
Smells of ten human sacrifices
From the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard

"Our father
Who art in hell
Unhallowed be thy name
Cursed be the sons and daughters
Of thine Nemesis
Whom are to blame
Thy kingdom come
Never!"

Tonight we summoned for His unholy fiend
Now celebrate
The End

This chapel of ritual
Smells of ten human sacrifices
From the altar bed
On this night of ritual
Invoking our master
To procreate the unholy bastard
