The only time I hear about this band is when people see the about it not being metal. Do people think it's trying to be metal just because of the album covers? Doesn't even sound like it's trying to be metal

first album is metal. second and third album have metal hooks and moments but gets progressively more poppy and mainstream rock. beyond album 3 I have no idea and checked out completely

the theatrics and aesthetic scream metal, but the execution comes off as Alice Cooper for zoom zooms

Cirice is clearly a metal song. Most of the criticism of Ghost is dumb.

They used to be metal, but since like the 3rd album they went full arena rock

muh [genre name]

Who cares what genre they are, their slop sucks and is made exclusively for trannies

I see them in festival posters under the pop label.
lol

They seem to be taking a lot of cues from Blue Oyster Cult, who are also considered metal, but the standards have long shifted, so it's debatable if it still is. BOC have always seemed more like rock to me, doesn't make their music worse.

Name one good song that isn't Square Hammer

it's not metal, it's not heavier than industrial rock bands, they're just arena rock now

I like the vibe of their music

How is BÖC metal? It's just hard rock.

I don't like that and have never heard that song

They are dressed over the top and their look would suggest they are a metal band. If they tones it down then people wouldn't care so much.

It's debatable if it's even hard rock

Impera

They are modern day KISS. Radio friendly rock kinda blends in to the background because all their songs sounds the same and the singer doesn't have range and is very flat. Their latest album is enjoyable to listen to but it definitely feels like rock fast food.

/thread

I remember some le viral quote tweet by a ghost stan and after the unrelated tweet blew up, they posted an tiktok edit of the band. But the edit used music from the weeknd lmao. What does that say about their music

I find it hilarious that the Wikipedia page for "(Don't fear) The Reaper" classifies the song both as hard rock and soft rock

What do any of these words mean Zoomer? Kys

pure unfiltered normie slop

I'd like them if they didn't look like they perform black metal and dressed more like 70s glam rock.
Can't be doing with bands that don't look like how they sound.

Their cover of Here Comes The Sun

As an avid Iron Maiden enjoyer(both Paul and Bruce), I understand it and I enjoy the fuck out of it.

It's not hard to understand at all and anyone declaring otherwise hates it for all the wrong reasons.

2. Prequelle

4. Opus Eponymous

muh edgy satantist faggot shit

picrel is their true metal album. if you go back to their MySpace page from the late 2000s, Tobias had it listed as a heavy metal band. after the third album it's obvious that Tobias wanted to appeal to a broader audience

I saw an edgy millennial dad buy an overpriced ghost record with his toddler son and all I couldn’t help but feel bad for the kid. He’s probably being indoctrinated to like the middest of mid bands

it's more about the fans and their dominance filling the common cultural space allotted to "hard" and metal music currently, same with Sleeptoken

Yeah, they clearly took an Misfits style imagery. You'd expect them to sound evil, but it's just poppy church music that sucks ass.

Soft rock

The aesthetics aren't bad, cool halloween costumes and kino album covers but the music is just meh.

ah the first ghost album, those were the days

For me its Witch Image. Not many fans even care for the song too much but its a masterpiece to me.

lol metal music has gotten RETARDEDLY hard and left everyone who isnt a weirdo behind. It sounds like absolute shit with no melody and guitar strings looser than your asshole.

Ghost is perfect amount of "hard" for non freaks.

Very low effort band. I get sad when people mention them to me

Very low effort band

Cool meaningless nothing phrase

if you dont like ghost then simply name a similar but better band. I'll wait

King Diamond

rats

Don't get the and just proves metal fans are a bunch of sweats
