It should go without saying that 2018 will be an enormous year for Swedish deathmongers Ghost. Cardinal Copia and co. find themselves in a newfound state of exuberance as they head out on a premature victory lap in support of new album Prequelle, which is the follow-up to 2015’s critically acclaimed Meliora. Said album also doubles up as the record which well and truly trusted the haunting story of Ghost into America’s mainstream rock consciousness, turning them into bill toppers forevermore. On June the 21st, 2018, Copia and his ghouls took on the Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium. An for metalheads wanting a spiritual guidance it was the Main Stage 2 at 20:50 that was the time and place. The performance was more like an open air theatre than a music concert. Their dramatic gimmick is not unique in the genre and often lifts the music to a higher level. This is also the case with Ghost, where the icy, cool style of Tobias Forge – Cardinal Copia for friends – is a great addition to the sacral and mystical design of the band. The opening tracks Rats and Absolution suffered a bit from sound problems but luckily the fans had already took over and sang along. Once Ritual arrived, the bass were a bit softer, so that the familiar voice of Cardinal Copia finally came to the surface again. Judging by the massive crowd and the enthusiasm they had with the new songs could only prove that the popularity of the band has only increased. Apart from the slightly sloppy start, everything in this set was where it should be. Also worth mentioning is the expansion of the band. In an interview, Forge recently said he was finally released from the backing tracks he hated thanks to live backing vocals. Undoubtedly an added value for the band live which can now also enjoy a light female touch and a bit more swung on stage.
