Meliora.-Ghost

Hello,

Let's review another of my favorite albums from another of my favorite bands: Ghost.

Ghost, (formerly known as "Ghost BC" in the US Until the release of Meliora), is a Swedish band of doom / glam / satanic metal with psychedelic elements that trace a stranger time of metal, evoking the sound of bands like Black Sabbath and Blue Öyster Cult.

The singer is the cardinal copy. The members of the band retain a greater degree of anonymity, five of which are known as "demons without a name", signing their names as the alchemical symbol and they have been assigned:

Fire (Lead Guitarist)
Water (bassist)
Air (keyboard player)
Earth (drummer)
Ether (rhythm guitarist)

What is the theme of the album?
The theme of the album is "the absence of God", present mainly in "Deus In Absentia", which is translated into English as "absence of God". As one Ghoul said:

The lyrics are about the emptiness that happens when there is no God, when there is no one to help him. But even then, there will always be some damn to guide you. And the band is basically represented as the religious festival that comes with a guide hand. We offer the only place in the world that is spiritual.

Another ghoul also said that it was ...

more about the modern man and woman in their search for purpose in life. It is difficult to live in a society if you are not willing to buy in a collective enterprise, but in general in the Western world, there is a great disregard for individual responsibility.

Spirit, the main theme, purposes of a hallucinogenic trip to the spheres of demons and demons, guided by the green muse. Located in 1929, just before the accident: the New York sky lit up at night. An office inside the Empire State Building. A large fish that tests absinthe before jumping off a ledge. His first look at the wells of hell.

The second song is From the pinnacle to the pit that tells the story of Satan's exile from heaven in the Bible. As expected, Ghost seems to sympathize more with Satan than the Bible is. The fall of Lucifer is a metaphor for the fall of humanity's reason for discord.

The third song is Cirice, the old English of "Church", "Cirice" approaches the listener with pleasure like a shepherd, assuring them that they belong and are accepted. By Satan, of course.

The fourth song is Spöksonat. Spöksonat stands for Ghost Sonata in Swedish. It is an instrumental song.

The fifth song is He Is. The song is about money and how humans adore it as a god, and for what? When we die, we are dead and we carry nothing with us, including money.

The sixth song is Mummy Dust. It focuses on the greed of people and the obsession with material things. The song is about money and how humans adore it as a god, and for what? When we die, we are dead and we carry nothing with us, including money.

The seventh song is Majesty. It is, on the one hand, a hymn about the dark lord of the underworld. On the other hand, he paints the image of a swarm of people, who in a world of complete disaster, idolize an authority that is clearly looking at them. How to love something that hates you.

The eighth song is Devil Church. Devil Church is an instrumental and was intended to be part of the Cirice theme.

The ninth song is Absolution. It tells the story of a luxurious man or woman who believes that their material meetings differentiate them from everyone else and this gives them a direct ticket to heaven.

The tenth song is Deus In Absentia. It is the story of a modern man near his end. It is unknown if he is dying or if he is close to closing with a large part of his life, but he meditates with the idea of ​​reaching his end.

The last song is Zenith. A "Zenith" is, by definition, the imaginary point that is directly on a particular location on the celestial sphere; or "the moment when something is more powerful or successful".

And, well, here ends the album.

STEEM ON !!!
