Sweden brings Ghost "Opus Eponymous" to the glove

GHOST

"Opus Eponymous"

Rise Above/Metal Blade

2010

"Opus Eponymous" is the first album by Ghost, released on October 18, 2010. What you can hear here is heavy, doomy riffs in contrast with softer parts and choruses ruled by keyboards, all of this to create an amazing, sometimes dark atmosphere. It sounds like Black Sabbath and Deep Purple had a baby, and it kinda sounds like Blue Öyster Cult too. Some people also compare them with Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, mostly because of their theatral live performances. The band was formed in 2008 in Linköping, Sweden, and it's line up consists of vocalist Papa Emeritus and five "Nameless Ghouls": 2 guitarists, bassist, drummer and keyboardist. Kinda creative thing. The album has received mostly positive reviews, embracing fans from hardcore metalheads into death/black metal to stoner rock fans. The album also contains "Here Comes The Sun" in a heavier version as a bonus track. This is another great record from the Swedish rock scene, which I recommend you all to check it out.  - iommi600

STEEL MAMMOTH - >>Nuclear Ritual<< (2009)

I know a lot of you dig the first LP by these maniacs.
Look at the fucking cover... I mean look at the sick ass 87 minivan. Thank GOD that the music does this blessed cover art justice!! I think you'll agree as well. These aren't just songs...THESE ARE FUCKING HEAVY METAL ANTHEMS!!!!  The Rock is very reminiscent of a Doom and gloom, less coke/more heroin'd out version of Diamond Nights.  Nuclear Ritual's tracks seem MUCH catchier and almost radio friendly at times, which is sort of refreshing right now.  Midway through the record they still throw down some delay drenched progressive Steely Dan guitar work.  On "Atomic Chainsaws" the Mammoth brings some hella melodic garage riffage.  Followed up by some guitar work that you would hear off a classic Iron Maiden record.  I'm HOPING to see these dudes back in the states again pretty soon.  ENJOY!!  Especially Plumber.
