(Song by song)
Ashes- Creepy intro track really showing the big picture of the entire album;The Black Plague. Towards the end the instrumental really gives the feel of impending doom, and almost a sense of suspense in my opinion. The music really ties together with the next track Rats, as the riff is similar.
Rats- A good beginning track, also painting a picture of the main theme. The song has multiple meanings depending on how you look at it, but looking at it in a technical point of view, it is about the Plague and how it all began. The song is really the beginning of a downward spiral to the ultimate fate of death.
Faith- This song is continuing the heavier feel of the first couple of tracks, having a heavier riff and stronger lyrics. It has an older Ghost feel. This song also continues the storyline by expressing the spread of the plague.
See The Light- A very out of place song, and does not fit the storyline of the album in my eyes. Compared to the rest of the album, it is mediocre, but is very well still worth a listen. The song is absolutely not bad in any way, but it feels very out of place. It brings on a calmer side of the album. Some have said that this song is about the lawsuit between Tobias and the former Nameless Ghouls, but that’s up to the listener to find out themselves.
Miasma- A very incredible instrumental track, this song really shows the virtuoso the new ghouls have. Everyone has a solo, really showing off their talent. At the end there is a very pleasing saxophone solo, but before that, I don’t know if it’s an Easter egg, a tribute, or a mistake, but if you listen to the riff right before the sax solo, you will notice that it’s the same riff as Michael Jackson’s Beat It. This track, looking at the bigger picture, is to me a filler for the rest of the storyline, like we have the beginning of the Plague, and the start of the disease, and Miasma is a gap of time before the victim reaches acceptance of death.
Dance Macabre- Another out of place song in my eyes, but a good one. The song brings on a very different side of Ghost, one that really portrays the character of late Papa III and Cardinal Copia. Song doesn’t fit the storyline that well in my point of view, but that’s a matter of opinion, but this is after my first listen to the entire album, so my opinion may change. The song feels like 80’s pop, and that’s a love hate relationship for me.
Pro Memoria- This is my absolute favorite track on the entire album. Going by the storyline, this song expresses acceptance of your fate. After catching and spreading the disease, and spending a little time thinking, you finally accept what is going to happen to you. The orchestration of this song is absolutely beautiful, and is profoundly powerful. This song really makes you think, and brings a peace to your fears. From the moment I heard this song in the Chapter III video I knew I would love it, and seeing it played live really made me look forward to hearing it.
Witch Image- To me, this song is the bringing of death, and the realization that you have done wrong in your life. This song shows the fears we will experience when we are close to death. This song expresses the sin and evil everyone experiences throughout life, and the punishment that awaits them.
Helvetesfönster- This word translates to “Hells Window”. The meaning of hells window is an opening in a woman’s clothing that showed sideboob, and it was considered a sin to look at it back then. This song is an instrumental that is similar to Witch Image in terms of meaning. There is no lyrics, but the music gives the feel that death has finally come, and your fate has ultimately been sealed.
Life Eternal- The song is the aftermath of Helvetesfönster, which is after death. This is your perspective after you pass away. You are looking into life after death, and where you will spend eternity. You experience the first moment of peace you’ve had. This song wraps up the album perfectly, by tying everything together. Rats being the retraction and spread of the disease, Pro Memoria expressing your acceptance to death, Witch Image being your reflection on your life, and Helvetesfönster being your death. A very peaceful ending.
Bonus Tracks (Its A Sin, Avalanche)- Both tracks are great, both being covers. Neither one contributes to the storyline that I’ve noticed as of now.
Overview- To me, this record is amazing, it gets a lot of hate, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I don’t get it. I love Ghost’s symbolism and the storyline of the album. I really enjoy the musical ability of the band and the incredible orchestration of the songs. Aside from the songs contributions to the storyline, they all can have alternate meanings depending on how you look at it. Bravo to Tobias and the Nameless Ghouls for writing, recording, and performing such an incredible album. It isn’t the same Ghost we’ve heard before, but I like it. Some say the album gets weaker as it goes on, but I appreciate how it is put together because it really shows the timeline that someone experienced during the Black Plague. It feels very right to me except for the few outliers. I started writing this on the 8th track of the album the first time I listened to it, and I’m going on the 4th time I’ve listened to the album all the way through. I waited for it, and it was worth it. Ghost should be very proud of their art, because I, and many others have waited for it and are enjoying it as we speak. These are my first impressions, and my current opinion, I may look back on this review a year from now and have different thoughts, but this is what it is now. This album is incredible, buy it and support Ghost, buy merch. The fans need to help them carry on their legacy, and support them in their rise to the big time.
Nothing makes me feel better than listening to Ghost
