What's interesting is their latest is quite a step above the debut. I am really shocked. Review forthcoming on Metal-Fi.
(also though I can't really stand Pitchfork's hyperbolic format and generally posh attitude toward reviews, their stream of Ghost's latest is brilliantly presented)
Btw, I will be at the New York Audio Show this weekend. Not sure if anyone else is going to be there but I plan to do a complete write up (there is a new 5k Orthodynamic can that is to be unveiled that I plan to write about too).

Meilenwald, you damned genius. I'm actually liking the new shiny production. Definitely not what I was expecting, however. Classic RoB, though, absolutely menacing and chilling. Much more doomy and melodic this time around, I think.

We are suppose to receive the promo literally like any day now. I got on the list as soon as I heard there was a new RoB out. I am unbelievably excited.
Strapping Young Lad pre-order in a few days! Can't wait.
All this talk of Nightwish for the last several pages has gotten me to try to get into them for like the millionth time. For some reason they just dont do it for me at all, even Tarja just doesnt do anything for me. The only female fronted symphonic metal i can get into is Within Temptation. Their CD The Silent Force is amazing, and I think one of the best CDs in the genre. Theyve gotten a lot "rockier" since then, so I dont listen to their later stuff nearly as much.
Two of my favorites
And i have to throw this in their for some more awesome female fronted Power Metal, it doesnt really get better than Triosphere!
Trogdor, im also sad, i had completely forgotten that Battle Beast got a new singer, i hope shes as awesome as the last chick was!
Just one last suggestion to extend on what I said about Poet and the Pendulum before. I feel Ghost Love Score (Once) is probably the closest thing to a Poet and the Pendulum-esque song Tarja ever did. I think it's one of my favorites. Absolutely lovely instrumental break at around 5 minutes.
Great as an instrumental or vocal piece. The scale is absolutely epic.
