“They're the Toto of metal…” In keeping with the Halloween centric theme of October, obviously we've got to talk about “devil music”, and what better band to represent “the devil stuff” than GHOST, who's not at all bashful about their utilization of Satan for inspiration. Imagine the mysteriousness of Blue Oyster Cult, but “kinda more metal, and sorta satanic a little bit”. While not overtly hateful or evil per se (as far as “devil music” goes), there is certainly a dark, otherworldly, and strangely hypnotic aesthetic to GHOST. With music containing powerful melodies & catchy hooks and lyrics incorporating a liberal infusion of “the devil stuff” (not to mention the eerie imagery, including a satanic pope and several Nameless Ghouls), listeners may experience a “flavor clash” from the resulting sonic incongruity as the music of GHOST is “kinda happyish but their lyrics are the exact opposite.” Before engaging in anything remotely fun (especially if it includes a third wheel), be sure “the math is right” ahead of time and remember that the formula is “half your age plus 7” (either way). Go ahead and crack open a can of “coconut key lime pie” and understand that even though we may have to “Ixnay on the Its-tay”, realize that Baphomet definitely has some “strong C's” and JOIN US as we go INSIDE THE METAL with the mysteriously mesmerizing sounds of Linkoping, Sweden's GHOST.   Visit www.metalnerdery.com/podcast for more on this episode Help Support Metal Nerdery https://www.patreon.com/metalnerderypodcast Leave us a Voicemail to be played on a future episode: 980-666-8182 Metal Nerdery Tees and Hoodies – metalnerdery.com/merch and kindly leave us a review and/or rating on the iTunes/Apple Podcasts - Spotify or your favorite Podcast app Listen on iTunes, Spotify, Podbean, or wherever you get your Podcasts.

Empezamos escuchando Cirice, el primer single del disco Meliora. Como en otros temas de Ghost este originalmente se penso para ser intro de otro. Debierón ver que tenía entidad propia y se partio en dos, dando como fruto a Cirice y a Devil Church. Es uno de los grandes temas de la banda. El yotuber Shauntrack tiene un video donde lo analiza. Muy interesante si quieres ir un poco más allá. Hablemos del disco de Ghost Meliora del 2015 ganador de un Grammy en 2016 por la mejor interpretación metal. Tercer disco de la banda después del Opus Eponymous del 2010 y Infestissuman del 2013. Ya veis que les dio por el latín. Es un rasgo más de la temática del grupo. Al igual que los dos discos anteriores, en los que trataban de la llegada del anticristo en uno y el Segundo trata de su presencia ya entre la población, Meliora se centra en la ausencia de dios. De la banda en el momento de la publicación se sabía bien poco, básicamente que son suecos, que el frontman cambia en cada disco siendo el de este el Papa Emeritus III el cual lleva un maquillaje que lo hace irreconocible y los músicos los Nameless Gouls, únicamente identificados por un símbolo en su vestimenta y siempre con máscaras tapándoles la cara. Si no los conocéis ya solo por esto os podéis imaginar que es una banda con una estética muy peculiar. Ghost es una herramienta de una iglesia satánica muy peculiar para conseguir más fieles y difundir su mensaje. De un papa a otro siempre hay cambios y con el Papa Emeritus III, tenemos un papa más elegante, que en muchas ocasiones deja de lado la miltra que es el gorro este tan peculiar que llevan los papas y las típicas túnicas y lo cambia por el frac además lleva el pelo peinado hacia atrás y engominado. Bastante menos solemne que los dos anteriores, más cercano y seductor. Y que es capaz de sacar en una actuación un pito de carnaval y tocar la melodía de un tema con él. Un gran cambio para la gira posterior del disco y además le va como anillo al dedo al álbum. Que yo diría que en esta ocasión va en general más hacia la luz que hacia la oscuridad. En el último concierto de la gira PopeStar en medio del directo, subieron unos tipos y se lo llevaron. Papa Nihil aparece en el escenario con la garrota y el oxígeno para explicar a los fieles que Emeritus III no había cumplido con las expectativas. Se paso de egocéntrico. Pinchemos ahora From the Pinnacle to the Pit, que hablando de todo un poco si veis el videoclip y la portada del disco os recordara a la película Metrópolis y al cine alemán de los años 20. Ghost coge un poco de todos lados y en lo estético también. Ya hacía tiempo que se rumoreaba que detrás de la banda estaba el músico Tobias Forge, pero a principios del 2017 se confirmo. Tobias fue demandado por cuatro Nameless Gouls por una disputa sobre las ganancias. Se destaparon identidades y acusaron a Tobias de tener un proyecto en solitario con músicos a sueldo y no una banda. Ghost has sabido jugar bien con el anonimato y le ha dado mucho juego. Hubo un momento de la carrera de Ghost en el que se llego a decir que el Nameless Gouls que tocaba la batería era Dave Grohl de los Foo Fighters. A saber, desde luego contacto con la banda tuvo ya que grabaron en sus estudios un EP en el 2013 Yo también diría que es un proyecto y no una banda. Ya hemos oído dos canciones y ahora viene la tercera. Ya os podéis hacer a la idea de que esto no es Black Metal precisamente, la voz de Tobias es muy pop y habéis podido apreciar influencias de todo tipo. Esta de Majesty tiene una clara base roquera. Ghost es un proyecto integral de rock. Un culebrón con argumentos que pasan de disco a disco, en actuaciones de sus giras, videoclips y entrevistas y rematan con capítulos en youtube. Así te enteras que el Papa Nihil que es el que toca el saxofón en la última gira es el primer papa de todos. Que tuvo un romance de joven con Sister Imperator que es la que realmente manda en la iglesia. Gracia al video-clip the Kiss the Go-goat también puedes deducir que en los 60’s estos tuvieron un romance y supuestamente ella se quedo embarazada de un niño que podría ser el Cardenal copia. He is es un descarte del disco anterior, que es de estrañar por la calidad que tiene el tema que además se edito como single. Una canción bella si no se le da muchas vueltas a la letra. Su historia es curiosa. En 2015 Tobias se enzarza en la creación de una canción. Ve un cambo de rumbo en su vertiente creativa y con la ayuda de un compañero graban este tema y dos más. Poco despues los cuelga en myspace y le llueven ofertas. En 2010 publican el primer disco y ya talonean de salida a grandes bandas. Y pudimos ver a James Hetfield de Metallica con una camiseta de ellos al igual que Phill Anselmo de Down y Ex Pantera que además subió a tres componentes de Ghost en un festival a tocar un tema con Down. Al iniciar tan fuerte, ser anonimos y codearse con estos personajes hubo rumores de todo tipo. Mummy Dust es el tema más jevilon del álbum. No olvidemos que los componentes de Ghost son Suecos y muchos provienen de bandas de Black y Death Metal. Tobias Forges tiene muchísimas influencias musicales pero venia de hacer de guitarra en la banda de Death Metal Repugnant. Curioso que en este tema el solo es de teclado. La letra en el fondo es una crítica hacia como la sociedad adora el dinero como si de una divinidad se tratase. Lo que hace Ghost no es nada nuevo, ya lo hicierón otros antes pero se nutre de tantas cosas y es tan evolutivo que ya llevan más de 10 años creciendo. Lo hacen muuuuy bien. En lo musical se les ha comparado con bandas oscuras de finales de los sesenta-principio de los 70 como Coven, Black Sabbath, Pentagram y Blue Oyster Cult. Podemos encontrar ritmicas del heavy ochentero, riff zeppelianos, sonidos que recuerdan al teclado Farfisa de los Doors como en su single del 2019 Kiss th go-goat, atmosferas grunges stonianas que recuerdan a Alice in Chains, la cadencia del doom metal, desarrollo de canciones con olorcillo a los primeros Queen o al Tecnical Ecstasi de Black Sabbath de finales de los 70’s. Hay de todo y en la faceta escenica pues igual... King Diamond o los Mercifull Fate, Alice Cooper, Kiss. Si tienen hasta temas bailables, Kiss tienen el I Was Made For Lovin You y Ghost el Dance Macabre. Cada oyente sacara parecidos diferentes.
