Say what you want about Ghost, but they always ace the cover arts.

If this is your choice of cover art for an "ace", then you need to develop a good taste, then.

Just a random Ghost art.

I guess they don’t teach art appreciation in India, then. Or how to not be an asshole.

Yeah that cover is sweet. Shame it's wasted on a band like Ghost though.

I think the cover art is "ace", too. Regardless of taste, which is subjective, you need to develop good manners, which is objective. And you'd better do that sooner rather than later.

I wish you hadn't responded like that. Or at all.

Not as much as I wish Cynic hadn’t.

Just because Zbigniew M. Bielak did all of them, excluding the debut

I do not disagree; I'd just prefer you had let the staff deal with this kind of stuff, otherwise it can escalate and become even uglier. The generalisation/comment about what they do or do not teach in India, based on what one Indian person wrote, is unacceptable.
Anyway, let's move on.

That’s a very common expression that’s obviously directed at Cynic and not India. I don’t see why Monkey shouldn’t respond when someone’s being a dick for absolutely no reason.

Nikarg said move on and I intend to, but I do want it on record that Velli is right: my comment was absolutely not meant to disparage India or its people. Moreso at Cynic and his upbringing, which I guess isn't really any better but I just wanted to throw it out there. He could be from Singapore, India, USA or Mars and I probably would've said something along the same line.

Anyway shutting up now. Cover art is still ace, but I'd rather get a new Ghost EP with covers anyway. Those're always good.

Ban him and do us all a favour

Love the new single by the way but I love everything Ghost do it seems.

Seeing them in a few weeks. Timing is a shame as it's before the album release, but I'm hoping to hear plenty of new tracks anyway.

I really like the black and white drawned part. Classic Zbigniew M. Bielak stuff with all the incredible details

But the contrast with the paintings is... Sorry, I really think it's awful. To me it just doesn't match at all. It's so jarring to my eyes. It looks like "Oh snap I have 5 mins left to send this. Let me put this here real quick".

I think there might be a reference to The Gallery hiding there somewhere though. That's cool I guess.

FU haters. Ghost is a fking showband. Just like Rammstein. Not a fan of them (except for Mutter which is top 10 best music albums ever) but their live shows are pure amazingness. I have seen lost of bands live and I can say that top 10 is impossible to beat. Random order - Opeth, Tool, Rammstein, Ghost, Slipknot, Meshuggah, Nightwish, Nine Inch Nails, Gojira and of course the band who open the roads for so many many metal bands - METALLICA.

I don't know...Impera was a let down, this single is listenable for like one and half time...not my thing or even curious about the album. For those who still like them ...good for you... enjoy! In the meanwhile I feel like I should listen to something thrashier like Coldplay.

I found this interesting interview. Definitely worth watching!

Also, Tobias Forge’s unreleased solo album, Passiflora, recorded in 2007 on CD-R copy was sold last year on Discogs for 5 grand. Here it is, while you wait for the new Ghost album:

It was probably a copy of a copy with a photocopied sleeve.

I can remember doing that with demo tapes back in the day but don't tell anyone.
