Having surpassed all expectations, Sweden’s occult rock masters Ghost reached their third album, Meliora, on the brink of mainstream success. Following the divisive Infestissumam, this record strikes a perfect balance between theatrical ambition and the sharp focus of Opus Eponymous. Led by Papa Emeritus III, Meliora delivers punchy, infectious tracks like “Spirit” and “From the Pinnacle to the Pit”—catchy enough for the masses yet still searing with underground fire. Through strict control of their eerie image and anonymity, Ghost’s dark mystique remains powerfully intact.
