The Satanic doom / heavy metal act, Ghost B.C strive through a unique brand of deceptively beautiful music, leaving listeners convulsing and speaking in tongues, much like those inside the most fundamental Evangelical or Pentecostal church.
Ghost released one of metal’s most affective debut albums in recent history with the haunting and low-fi ‘Opus Eponymous,’ conjuring massive buzz throughout the world.
Another theme found throughout ‘Infestissumam’ is the practice of vocal progressions which refuse to resolve, creating an uneasy feel within tracks such as ‘Jigolo Har Megiddo,’ ‘Body and Blood’ and the demon-chanting ‘Year Zero,’ which arguably serves as the album’s standout track.
The songwriting prowess offered within Ghost’s music has increased by leaps and bounds in terms of complexity within ‘Infestissumam.’ The seven-and-a-half minute ‘Ghuleh / Zombie Queen’ is a perfect example of Ghost’s supernatural growth, mixing their ever-present synth keyboards with a gorgeous piano lead for the track’s beginning sequence. Vocalist and spiritual leader Papa Emeritus II takes over the remainder of ‘Ghuleh / Zombie Queen’ with one of his most impressive vocal performances to date, with the warmth of his alluring voice rising up into falsetto territory in several quick bursts.
Ghost have proven yet again that true, virtuosic originality still exists. ‘Infestissumam’ is what metalheads wants to hear.
