me too .. the sound. the concept. the look. etc.if ever there was a band who dreamt up the perfect 'klf vs doom' colective, then ghost b.c. would be damn close to the outcome.tis one of my favourite albums in a long long time ..

Ha! I was just being mean. It WAS the first thing that popped into my head when I heard it, though. Can't get behind this band at all.

I'm so happy to have stumbled upon this thread. I didn't even know they had a new album out. Opus Eponymous proved that Satan does have the best music, and if this anything like that, it will be well worth a download.

dig the look. reminds me of a less manic arcturus
― Spectrum, Sunday, 21 April 2013 03:18 (eleven years ago) link
On first listen, I'm not sure I like this better than Opus Eponymous. It seems the organ is more prominent and there's more of an oompah-band rhythm going on, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but the songs didn't grab me as much at first, except for "Secular Haze" which is pretty catchy. Calling Opus "approximately four brilliant songs padded out to album length" sets a pretty high bar. It doesn't seem like there are even four songs on this as good as the best stuff on Opus, but I'll try to keep an open mind.
― o. nate, Monday, 22 April 2013 21:41 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe I was a bit too hard on this. It's been growing on me. I still think it could have been a couple of songs shorter, and I'm not sure it matches the highs of Opus, but complaining would be churlish of me.

Dang, Opus is good. I love the concept (bubblegum Satanic ought to be perennial), so I'm glad I like all of the songs too.

let's rank the hooks on this thing:

2. "You are cast out from the heavens to the ground. Blackened feathers falling down"
3. "Put your hands up and reach for the sky / cry for absolution!"
4. "The world is on fi-yahhh, and you are here to stay and burn with me"
