Ghost - Opus Eponymous (Turquoise Sparkle Vinyl)

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. A daringly beautiful combination of satanic rock music with an almost unthinkable pop sensibility, 2010's Opus Eponymous (Latin for self-titled work) is where it all began for the beautifully dark global phenomena Ghost! Standing motionless and anonymous beneath the painted faces, hoods and robes, the nameless ghouls of Ghost deliver litanies of sexually pulsating heavy rock music and romantic lyrics, which glorify and glamorize the disgusting and sacrilegious. The simple intention to communicate a message of pure evil via the most effective device they can find: Entertainment. This is black metal at it's most original and deceiving; compositions such as "Ritual" and "Death Knell" majestically weave their melodic spell of evil through the senses until the listener finds themselves utterly possessed and open to any diabolical suggestion.

Opus Eponymous is the debut studio album by the Swedish heavy metal band Ghost. The album was originally released in October, 2010. Opus Eponymous was recorded in the band's hometown and produced by Gene Walker. Opus Eponymous was nominated for a Grammis Award. A band member, all of whom are referred to only as Nameless Ghouls, explained that the songs on Opus Eponymous were written in 2007 and 2008, around two years before the album was released. 'It's musically smart in the way that metal should be spooky, evil, with just a dash of 'do you think these guys are serious?' Even if Ghost weren't espousing the glories of a certain dark lord, the songs would still hold up beautifully, which should be an indication of how strong Opus Eponymous is. ' -Metal-Rules. Com
