Artist Feature: Ghost

Sweden's Ghost has the Tru Kvlt Black Metal community rather divided. Their debut album, Opus Eponymous, has an incredibly ear-worm-y quality; I haven't stopped spinning it since I picked it up. But as Black Metal goes, it's not exactly Mayhem. It's Black Metal with a, well, pop sensibility. But, shit, they sing about the Devil on every. single. track. One can understand the lyrics without having spent years developing an ear for deciphering the standard Black Metal Shriek - does that make it something else? Is it closer to Maroon 5 than Blut Aus Nord? I leave it to you.
