Our Take

Ah, GHOST. The Swedish rockers with a penchant for the macabre and a knack for infectiously catchy tunes. Their latest EP, "Popestar" (Milky Clear Vinyl) (Indies), showcases their trademark blend of theatricality and metal in a concise and satisfying package. The record kicks off with the anthemic "Square Hammer," a track that is sure to get even the most stoic of listeners nodding along. Frontman Papa Emeritus III's distinctive vocals soar over the driving guitars and heavy drums, creating a sound that is simultaneously menacing and irresistible. The EP also features a cover of Eurythmics' "Missionary Man," which sees GHOST put their own dark spin on the classic track. The band's macabre aesthetic fits surprisingly well with the upbeat synth-pop of the original, resulting in a cover that is both faithful and fresh. The standout track on "Popestar" has to be "Nocturnal Me," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's more melodic side. The swirling guitars and eerie atmospherics create a sense of unease that is both captivating and unsettling. Overall, "Popestar" is a solid addition to GHOST's discography. While it may not break new ground for the band, it serves as a reminder of why they have become such a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock music. So pour yourself a goblet of blood (or a cup of tea, if that's more your thing) and give this EP a spin. You won't be disappointed.
