Episode 128 is live, and the wheel has spoken! This week we’re diving into Meliora by Ghost. Does this 2015 release cast a spell on us? Tune in to hear our thoughts on its haunting melodies and dark vibes!
Meliora (Latin for “better things”, and not as the band says “the pursuit of something better”) is the third studio album by Swedish rock band Ghost. The album was produced by Klas Åhlund and released on August 21, 2015. The album was generally well received, placing on several music publications’ lists of the best heavy metal albums of the year and winning Best Hard Rock/Metal Album at the 2015 Grammis Awards. Lead single “Cirice” won the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. In September 2016, the band released a special edition of the album, called Meliora Redux.
