Ghost With The Most

Lucifer...we are here...

Ghost finally gets a proper U.S. release on vinyl from Metal Blade. I don't typically purchase multiple copies of Metal albums, but their Opus Eponymous album was so good, that I haven't been able to resist Satan's Call.

Metal Blade did a great job with the picture disc. The slight variation on the album artwork was enough to set this apart from the Rise Above release, and make this a "must buy" for me.

I'm still bummed that they had to cancel their U.S. tour. It is a rare thing for a band to be shrouded in the amount of secrecy that Ghost has maintained. To catch them live at this point, just when they are starting to take off, would have made for a memorable evening.

While there were no photos included with the Rise Above release, the packaging for the picture disc comes with a cardboard sleeve that captures The Nameless Ghouls on the back cover. Classic.
