Yeah, I have a new favorite band now! Of course, I’m still amazed by Alice in Chains and Tool, but I just discovered a demonic beauty: Ghost!

I can’t believe how I’m so unaware of this symphonic demonic satanic a bit Nordic beauty! The band has been formed by Tobias Forge and a few Nameless Ghouls. Yes, we don’t even know their names! The ghouls are wearing masks and there is rumor that the players are changing from concert to concert. But, who knows? They have names like Alpha, Omega, Earth, Water, Fire etc. And, interestingly, some of them are women! Now, women are wearing different heads and called as ‘Ghoulette’. Honestly, I was impressed by the idea that we cannot guess who is behind the mask. A man? A soul? Demon? Woman? I would rather go with the same mask for all genders and creators. I would die to be one of the guitar players behind the mask! Their music is not that hard to play, for me at least. I think the hardest part of their music is finding the right composition of all the elements in music. The songs are sounding like there is an orchestra behind the scene. Because, as I read from an interview with Tobias Forge, the chorus parts have more vocals like in Queen while the openings and solos are the excellent examples of death metal \m/ This harmony is merged with demonic lyrics which are really, really interesting! Apart from these, the lead singer, Tobias, has the smoothest voice ever! He can convince you to pray for Satan in very calm way 🙂 

Soooo, here is my favorite song for now. RITUAL! By the way, ghouls are playing awesome!
