Saw the discussion in the ebay insanity thread and figured I'd check them out. Great stuff! However, I agree that the Mercyful Fate comparisons are way off base. I personally think they have more to do with Alice Cooper than anything metal.

must check out soon.

They have this whole 70's doom rock thing going on, which makes me think of Black Widow, Witchcraft and The Devil's Blood. More "Hippie" than metal.
Quite ok, but nothing to get too excited about. Haven't heard their LP yet though.

Thought it was ok the first three spins, but after that I just got sick of it. I like catchy stuff, but this is too catchy. Winger, for instance, are meaner and grittier than this.

For sure. Put on any of the last three Winger-albums, and you'll find out.MEXDefenderOfSteel wrote:indeed!!Marken wrote: Winger, for instance, are meaner and grittier than this.

Really dig the album, but funniest call I've read online is
"Sounds like something you’d hear on a Scooby Doo cartoon."
haha..

So it's true that the Repugnant memebers are invovled?
Btw cool band, I like 'em. They are pretty good live too (as I see in their live videos).
Anyway check this video from their performance in Hammer of Doom Festival.

No need to rephrase anything, so I'll just repost what I wrote at Miskatonic:
After all this discourse I couldn't help downloading the bloody thing and see what all the antifuss was about... Fuck it - after First Listen I must say I really enjoyed this album.
The hype/media-darlings-factor has never bothered me in cases like this. We're not talking bloody d.i.y.-underground-or-bust-bloody-anarcho-commie-Crasspunk or True-Klt-Esoterik-Blkk-Me'l here - It's just another Heavy Rock band for chrXst sake! GHOST just feels like the WASP of the 10's - i.e. churning out nice catchy Hard Rock tunes coz they don't know better, while wrapping it up in a extravagant/corny package... (like Thor or 80's Alice Cooper for instance:) = enough for me.
I grew up with and discovered HR/HM partly via the uncoolest possible, mainstream acts at the time - Twisted Sister, WASP, Mötley Crüe, 80's Kiss - the kind of bands that all the older "real hardrockers" vomited upon, so I just can't slag 'em + keeping a consistent straight face at the same time, sorry
...and unlike recent "foottappingly decent", ho-hum acts like The Devil's Blood or Witchcraft, Ghost at least write songs that stick in your head after 1 listen. Just like Thor.
