#18 - Top of 2015

Ghost - Meliora (Republic Records)

 With Ghost becoming a worldwide success with their two previous records and achieving fame partly due to their music and partly due to their appearance and anonymity. the question was whether they would be able to follow it up with an equally strong record.

... and deliver they did! This album was a commercial and critical success, reaching number 8 on Billboard and at the same time, gathering Awards from multiple sources, including Album of the year by Loudwire and an Emmy nomination! And truly, the album is really good! The band evolves lyrically and musically, while maintaining the distinct sound that made them weirdly popular in their previous works. Ghost take progressive rock and 70s rock evolve that type of sound to a contemporary offering with Pop references in an occult package.

91/100

Below is the official video for the track nominated for a Grammy (although chances are you've already seen it!)
