Swedish rock band Ghost recently released a compilation album called 13 Commandments. The album features “Zenith,” a track which was initially released on a special edition version of the band’s Meliora in 2015 and was not previously available digitally or on streaming services until now.
The sound of the new album is a mixture of hard rock, heavy metal, pop rock and psychedelic rock. Ghost have creatively fueled an outlook of juxtaposition on disorder and discovery, which is heard throughout the band’s discography. This unfamiliar association of sound encourages listeners to open up to the unknown, the mystic and darkness.
In tribute of an extraordinary last 12 months, Ghost now portion a delightful accumulation of some of their most powerful tracks crossing the band’s many periods from 2013’s full-length album Infestissumam to the recent covers EP Phantomime. A wealth of sounds to cherish, Ghost’s 13 Commandments collection archives and records the band’s transformation both sonically and lyrically.
Ghost had yet another successful year with two Grammy nominations: one for the international #1 album Impera and one for “Phantom of The Opera” from Phantomime; a 5 month, 4 continent world tour including 2 sold out nights at L.A.’s Kia Forum; 2 major collaborations: “Spillways” featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, and “Stay (featuring Patrick Wilson)” which made an appearance during the end credits of Insidious: The Red Door.
