Metal
Celebrating its ten year anniversary this year, the sophomore effort from theatrical metal entity Ghost saw the band progress from the vision of their excellent debut Opus Eponymous (which is receiving the repress treatment in tandem with this reissue) towards the campier and confident goth-pop-metallic-rock hybrid they've ultimately made their own. Psychedelic riffage and doom metal toe-dipping clash with anthemic hooks all led by the enigmatic Tobias Forge and his ludicrous vocal range, while their purposefully satanic lyricism and Antichrist praising themes would ultimately make finding a choir to record vocal parts in their Tennessee recording studio impossible, with one of the nameless ghouls even saying one conductor nearly cried upon reading the lyrics. Lucking, the band were able to track down a choir in Hollywood "where people have no problem with worshipping the Devil."
