Ghost - Prequelle (2018)

The fourth album from this band from Sweden.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, computers and vocals.

The band were supported by some guests who provided strings and vocals.

The band returned again in a fanfare of hypes and non-musical publicity. Ghost is this generation's answer to Kiss. A band who are supposed to challenge the authorities, but who are still releasing commercial, slick music.

There are still some Blue Oyster Cult in their music. There are also some Muse here. I have no idea why this music has been tagged as doom metal. There is no doom metal here.

The music is slick, very melodic and very much arena rock.

Their music has improved a lot since the last album. There are some good stuff here.... most of it is good. As I hate to admit, but this is actually a fairly album. I don't like their hype. I do not like the musical cliches who comes thick and fast on this album. There is some musicals commercial music here. But this album is finally, finally a fairly good album from Ghost. About time.
