Okay, so think Mercyful Fate meets Blue Oyster Cult, sprinkle in a little Candlemass and Black Sabbath, and you have Ghost from Sweden. Check these guys out. I just got their debut OPUS EPONYMOUS. It is awesome!!

I've had this for awhile now. Great band!!! Mercyful Fate meets Blue Oyster Cult is a dead on description. The lyrics are on the satanic side. So, if that sort of thing bugs you, you may not like them.

They sound so awesome. The lyrics are funny and/or vile, depending on how you wanna look at it

The vocals harmonies are awesome, very well arranged. It's so nice to hear actual hooks and melodies and clean vocal delivery.
I'm going to go pick this up tomorrow...

Yea, I've been keeping an eye on these guys. It's on my want-list. Like what I've heard and read some really good things about them. Hail Satan!

Love this album. Last track "Genesis" has really gotten me into Goblin over the last month.

Great sound and even though the lyrics are campy I'd still rather not buy this because of the lyrics.

A few years back I was on a serious retro kick, but kind of burnt myself out on the style. The ridiculous import prices didn't help, either. But I still listen to most those bands all the time.
I think I need to dip back into that style again, though.

From what I've heard it has a bit of a Black Widow sound, as well.

Picture it without the flute....
... and I should have found a better example. They do have four albums worth of material. That's what I get for being lazy.

I would really like to give this a shot but the reference to Satanic lyrics puts me off. Just how blatantly Satanic are they?

Much tamer than your average Slayer song. You have to look at the lyrics like they are dialogue from a Peter Cushing movie.
here's an example:
Tonight we're summoned for a divine cause Remembrance - No But for their future loss
This chapel of ritual Smells of dead human sacrifices From the altar...
Beduins and nomads Carried through the times Through pestilences and famines These ancient scrolls of rhymes
"Our fallen angel vexed Was banished from the sky Recite now from the text Pray for ALL to die"
This chapel of ritual Smells of dead human sacrifices From the altar bed On this night of ritual Invocing our master To procreate the unholy bastard
"Our father Who art in hell Unhallowed be thy name Cursed be the sons and daughters Of thine Nemesis Whom are to blame Thy kingdom come nemA"
Tonight we summoned for His unholy fiend Now celebrate The End

Had this for about 2 weeks now. Of the few 2011 release I've gotten so far, this one is gonna be tough to beat. It's good. The lyrical content doesn't bother me. Although I will be sacraficing a turkey sandwich at lunch to the dark lord of hunger.

Agreed. This album manages to achieve that elusive "greater than the sum of it's parts" sound which makes it feel epic.

I uploaded their Elizabeth EP and demo to the place where ye shall find an absence of zones, if you're interested.
