Ghost have outdone themselves on their new album "Meliora". The debut "Opus Eponymous" and "Infestissumam" were great, in fact, I didn't think they could top the first two tracks of "Infestissumam", but the new album is superb all the way through and imo their best so far.

So tell me, what do you guys think about this? The music is completely outstanding. But, I'm not asking about the music. I wanna know. Are these guys really Satanic? Satanic lyrics and imagery. Papa wears an inverted cross on his head. But, they say it is purely IMAGE. I'm really surprised a Satanic band, whether religion or imagery, has achieved this much national acknowledgement for their work.

I'm very happy to get anyone's opinion on this. Anyone can answer, but I would like to know what @Vader @Riff Raff think.

So, is this image or not?

TBH, I think it's for the most part theatrical. But then again I not really put of by them no matter what their religious leanings may or may not be ... if you are then there are plenty of other bands that you can focus on other then Ghost. Freedom of religion, it's one of the main stays that this country was founded upon.

I'm pretty sure they are full-fledged satanists. Surely all the talk about goat /virgin blood and eating babies can't just be rumours?

My album ranking:

"Meliora"
"Infestissumam"
"Opus Eponymous"

The combination of the first two tracks on "Infestissumam" is the best thing they've ever done and the reason I rate it slightly higher than the debut. Apart from that, there's not much separating the first two, as far as quality goes.

I'm not sure how I rank them. All three are different yet awesome. Infestissumam took me a bit by surprise but it's now maybe my favorite. Year Zero & Monstrous Clock are pure win.

There are only 3 so I say just listen to them in chronological order. The debut is awesome so you can't go wrong. By listening to them in order of release you will.be experiencing the band as they development. Your not that late to the party.
