Ghost are, regardless of whether you’re particularly into corpse-painted, Satanic-inspired heavy metal, one band that you should not miss live. Their shows are not simply events to watch but experiential, jaw-dropping journeys to embark upon. The Swedish sextet, clad in black hooded gowns and pointed beard-masks are led by their frontman, known as Papa Emeritus III, who dons full skull make-up and the robes and hat of a Roman Catholic pope. This Satan-worshipping act is contrasted by the liveliness of their music, which while categorized as heavy or black metal, is definitely more riff and vocal-driven than most metal, with songs such as the single Monstrance Clock and even an amped-up cover of the Beatles’ Here Comes The Sun as part of their catchy, danceable set. The entire experience of Ghost live is something intoxicatingly unforgettable.
