Ghost

Who would have thought a gang of faceless Swedes in cardinal capes would be the main subject of conversation within indie-communities, trend magazines and the metal underground? The band who have been hyped by prominent rockers like Foo Fighter's Dave Growl and Metallica front figure James Hatfield, is now coming to Samfundet hoping to leave a permanent mark on The Grand Hall.

A decadent and hash ­addicted poet once wrote, “What matters an eternity of damnation to someone who has found in one second the infinity of joy?” This is the only choice that matters. The devil’s fall came only after his great rebellion, a single and simple act of looking into the face of authority and saying, “I am glorious.” This was Satan’s ecstasy, but he embraced it knowing the punishment.

Ghost is a 6­piece rock band that was formed in Sweden in 2008.

Their exhilarating 2009 debut album The Horror somehow managed to simultaneously conjure the spirits of such old masters as Morbid Angel, while still sounding absolutely fresh, its combination of death metal with thrash, heavy metal and even horror soundtrack influences earning it praising reviews.
Their much awaited 2013 follow-up The Formulas of Death saw the band beginning to spread their wings further, its 75 minute playing time offering a more epic and colourful approach than its predecessor, the progressive touches resulting in an almost cinematic journey while displaying abundant aggression and occult overtones.
Yet even with such a glowing track record, new album The Children of the Night, which was recorded, mixed and produced by Ola Ersfjord in several different Swedish studio locations (Studio Gröndahl, Honk Palace, Studio Cobra, Necromantic
