Yep caved and have listened to twice now as pre order hasn't arrived. Deadly riffage and dare I say it catchy tunes

Grayditch · 23-08-2015 3:31am

I wasn't crazy about the last album, although I like it. But this is unreal. The production is insane. There's a chance I could be over-excited, but I think it's the best of the three.

spiritcrusher · 27-08-2015 7:27pm

Wonderful album. Song writing, playing and production of the highest quality. The balance between metal, goth rock and Abba is pretty much perfect.

Grayditch · 27-08-2015 9:07pm

I noticed after the 342nd listen...

...it's still fantastic.

Reiketsu · 27-08-2015 10:51pm

Meliora is fantastic

. Can't stop listening to it.

Red Wolf · 29-08-2015 9:31am

As others have said it really is a great album. I thought the previous one was a completely boring snooze fest disaster and really hadn't any hopes for this at all. Glad I a gave it a chance, hooked from start to finish.

Reiketsu · 02-09-2015 5:07pm

They are touring the UK in December. Not an Irish date in sight

Leeds and Manchester on Saturdays though if its possible. I support Leeds, would've gone over for that date and taken in a game but they playing away. Could trek from Leeds to Manchester for the gig, but it'd be tight for time.

Lol Leeds fan here too and my ex got me into Ghost

Would have definitely got 2 birds stoned at once and took in a match and the gig

Pity were away

Yeah, and it works well, did it for Deftones years back. Leeds game/Manchester gig isn't totally dead though, it may be done.

Yup did the Manics last year same day as Donny home (lost 1-2

)

Back in the -15 season I did Millwall home (4-2

) and Pigeon Detectives that night

Monster sesh that weekend

Somnus · 05-09-2015 8:38pm

Would be tempted to go over to the UK to see them. The new album is absolutely superb

Surprising how many times they overlooked us

bushball · 13-09-2015 11:13pm

Meliora could easily be my favourite album this year

Wrongway1985 · 13-09-2016 2:51am

Loving the new one

A nice surprise wasn't aware new stuff was on the way but an E.P. entitled "Popestar" is dropping this very Friday.

01 – “Square Hammer”
02 – “Nocturnal Me”
03 – “I Believe”
04 – “Missionary Man”
05 – “Bible”

"Missionary man" is hardly a cover of the Eurythmics song

Liam McPoyle · 13-09-2016 5:22pm

These lads are shockingly over rated IMO.

I saw a load of people going on about them a few months back on the DME FB page and listened to some tracks on YouTube.

Uhhh.

Boring boring boring.

I kinda consider them "Pop-metal" if such a thing were to exist. They're enjoyable if you're not expecting anything too ground-breaking and don't take them seriously.

I do agree they're pretty over-hyped but I still enjoy them. I quite like that new track I have to say!

Grahamer666 · 14-09-2016 1:08pm

I've seen them live three times and thats where they really shine.

Ya seen them live 3 times myself including at Graspop this year one of the bands of the festival for sure such a tight band.

PTH2009 · 19-09-2016 7:08pm

remind me a 'pop' Slipknot.

there image is pretty cool tbh but when you look at then you would think there a really heavy screamo metal band but there a bit the opposite lol

Grayditch · 04-02-2018 12:42am

Ghost are probably the only band I listen to every day. Then again Megadeth and Abba are two of my favourite bands, so it makes sense.

New song out later, supposed to be around 10pm our time.

Grayditch · 13-04-2018 9:23am

I despise that style of ADHD editing. It's up on Spotify anyway.

RayCon · 13-04-2018 1:58pm

^ Getting a serious 80's hair metal vibe off that ... Skid Row / RATT riff ... love it.

Grayditch · 13-04-2018 2:04pm

Yeah, I'm hearing Queensryche and 90's Ozzy.

Wrongway1985 · 19-05-2018 3:12pm

Grayditch · 19-05-2018 5:42pm

I'll pass on that one.

Grid. · 19-05-2018 6:08pm

Any chance of a gig here any time soon?

Yakult · 01-06-2018 1:45am

Just finished listening to the new album! Was enjoyable, very 80's!
Would listen again!

Favourite song is the instrumental Miasma

Grayditch · 01-06-2018 3:36am

Yeah I like it a lot. Not the powerhouse that Meliora was but it's a fine, fine album. Very happy with it.

GLaDOS · 01-06-2018 11:09am

Solid enough, nothing spectacular. Enjoyed the cover of It's a Sin

Grayditch · 01-06-2018 11:58am

Yeah, the album is missing a big song at the end, like an Absolution or Monstrance Clock.

So It's A Sin will have to do for that.

Love the album ... don't like the 2 covers tacked on the end of the deluxe version.

RayCon · 11-09-2018 10:40am

Euro Tour dates have started to get released for Feb 2019 ... no Ireland (yet) ..

lizzylad84 · 12-09-2018 1:27pm

Rumor to be supporting Metallica

Grayditch · 12-09-2018 3:03pm

I've heard Slane with Metallica and Judas Priest.

Apart from all the other quoters of quoters of people that heard it from someone in the know, that read it online in a message board...............

Any link? Source??

Unlikely with Priest playing with Ozzy !

Grayditch · 13-09-2018 12:40am

Yeah, Helvetesfönster loosely translates to "We're playing Slane", so...

That would suck all types of balls .... hoping for a headline show of their own

Grayditch · 13-09-2018 4:14pm

It's weird. I reckon they could do the 3 Arena at this stage of their career.

I'm gonna grab tickets to Amsterdam when they go on sale tomorrow anyway.

14-09-2018 11:48am

Not a chance they'd play the 3Arena as a headliner. I reckon the Olympia would be just about right.

Grayditch · 14-09-2018 12:16pm

The Olympia is 1200 capacity. It wouldn't be worth their while, while they're selling out the Royal Albert Hall in 20 mins. They're on a full arena tour now playing 5/6k capacities so with a good support 3k plus people in the Three Arena wouldn't be impossible.

If a band is only selling 3k tickets, no promoter will put them in the 3 Arena

Grayditch · 14-09-2018 1:56pm

Just realised the Three is 13,000, so yeah. I dunno why I thought it was a lot less than that. Do we have a decent indoor 5/6k capacity in Dublin?

The 3 can be scaled in variable ways: curtain across back tier, extend seating to floor, possibly combo of both.

I think a combo of those would make it that size, but then there's be very little standing, possibly look ridiculous too. And the expense would limit it too.

To answer your question, no there's nothing. Wonder would BGE suit them
