"Rats" by Ghost is my new earworm. 🤘
@estebanm Yep. I didn't really get into Ghost until they dropped their Meliora album, but once I did I made a point of going through their back catalog.
I know they're often derided as Blue Oyster Cult + Satanism, but I've been a BOC fan my whole life.
@starbreaker I am vastly fond of the Fred Astaire as necromancer routine in the video.
@starbreaker Ghost will be playing at Hellfest this year. (festival held in France)
@skematica They're playing in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh in the US, too.
The hard part is convincing my wife it's worth going. Most bands sound better on CD than they do on stage because the sound guys crank up the guitars and drums and drown out the bass and vocals.
@starbreaker Ignorant sound crew ruins shows worldwide. 😜 I hope you get to attend the show though, because they put on a helluva gig!
@starbreaker I *will* be seeing Scour (Anselmo's new set) and Watain, Sweden's longstanding shout from the North. There's also Cabal, the Danish metal crew, but I'm not as stoked to see them. (don't know them as well!)
@starbreaker Have you heard their amazing version of ABBA's "I'm a Marionette"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou5T1SeGhOo
I don't even like ABBA but Ghost's take is really good and kind of creepy.
