It's alright. Pretty similar to Impera but there's no song to the level of Kaisarion or Respite On The Spitalfields imo.



Peacefields sounds a bit too much like Journey's Separate Ways.

I enjoy the sequence from Lachryma to De Profundis Borealis.

The rest does not much to me, especially the fking annoying chorus of Marks.

"this comes from someone that grew up thinking Winger’s ballads were incredible stuff"

They're not?
Anyways, great review dude!
How is this far from their first 2 albums? it's fun, it's crafted to perfection and it has that heavy 80s vibe, where in all honesty, life was near perfect, humanity reached its peak in the late 80s... The world ended in 93/94 and we're just living in this boring simulation.

I'll admit to the fact that I still weep from time to time to Miles Away, yes.

Beautiful song, melodies on this album kinda remind me of that tune TBH.

The ballads here remind me more of Scorpions ' "Send me an Angel".

Btw, i've fell on the 1986 rabbit hole today and man this band really is in the wrong era lol

Great guitar solos but that's about it

Cenotaph and Missilia Amori is such a mid album slump for me. Glad it finishes strong because on first listen i really started to get worried.



Also tbh, Peacefield has grown on me a bit but I still don’t love it as an opener. It doesn’t feel as explosive as any of their other openers.

One minute into Peacefield and that Journey-ass opening riff hits. It really is relishing in the 80s cheese. Fuck I might actually end up liking this.



Credit to Forge, his albums are cleeaaannn as fuck. Production's tighter than dick skin.

Looking forward to 90s-grunge Ghost in a couple of years.

I was finally convinced to check out a Ghost album. As someone who grew up in the 80s, I was pleasantly surprised. Some of these songs are super catchy. "Marks of the Evil One" stands out to me in particular as one that will be a lot of fun live.

Felt the album a little too baladesque for me. Still fun. Agreed with the great solos. Best parts reminded me of Meliora.

"Last album they ripped off Bon Jovi. Now the rip off Journey and Toto. Very impressive."



i don't have an issue with them taking obvious influences and wearing them on their sleeve. the results matter and though i 100% believe in tobias' sincerity this album just aint it.



i plan to review it

Yeah, this album is pretty dull and probably the bands weakest album. Either this or Infestissumam. Has some pretty good guitar parts, but not enough to make this more than just mid.

Thinking that Umbra is the only song on this one I would care to hear again. Ouch.



And I liked Infestissumam. Conceptually and whatever weird enjoyment I seem to have gotten out of the tunes that most people didn't. IDK. Whatever it was, it ain't Impera or Skeleta. Yawnfests.



Honestly forget at this point how much I used to like the band.

Gonna have to 2.5 because of a clear lack of saxophone

Still need to jam this, but I'm glad to see that there is love for it. I really enjoyed the singles, am fully expecting to have a blast of a time with the full album

the presence of a sax would bump this up to at least a 3.5

Ghost killed the pope

This timing isn't coincidental
