Ghost

[|iR|Focalor]

Stumbled upon a few youtube vids of this band the other night. Sounds a little bit like old Mercyful Fate, and apparently a lot of the stage theatrics, face paint, and costumes are borrowed from Mercyful Fate/King Diamond as well. I dunno, it's got a little more of a classic rock sound to it than the hard edge that Mercyful Fate was always shooting for. Anyway, they aren't particularly spectacular, but definitely something a little different from most other stuff these days.

Not much for this genre of music(k) anymore.
Though, I do remember when I used to listen to old Soilwork stuff, they made a cover for a Mercyful Fate song, 'Egypt'. Which I think fucking rules.
