I can't listen to it at work, but is that the Japanese band? I assume not, because the Japanese guys were very psychedelic rock-ish, but I haven't listened to them in a while, so... I dunno.

If it IS the same band, though, I like 'em, too.

Nope, this band is from Sweden. No one knows their identities, rumors are they dudes from other well known metal bands...but which just adds to their mystery/gimmick.

Manohman(not to be confused with Manowar) they do sound like BOC. and that ain't a bad thing at all!!!!!!

Ghost almost exclusively sounds like Mercyful Fate/King Diamond. Musicwise at least.

And since you mentioned Yob, pay attention to the other band playing Dark Castle they are ****ing awesome! i definitely recommend their two albums, crushing doom metal fronted by a chick.

BTW tickets for Ghost/Enslaved/Alcest (Great blackened shoegaze) at the troubadour go on sale tomorrow!

Alcest is excellent!

I agree, there's some Mervyful Fate/King Diamond, but theres also a bit of 70s rock (BOC) in there, listened to the album a couple times last night, it rules.

And yep, Dark Castle is ****ing awesome, I haven't heard the new album yet, waiting to buy it on vinyl. The last one was crushing, going to be an excellent show, as well as the Ghost/Enslaved/Alcest at the Troub.

Hey man...I like Music from The Elder, even though Ezrin completely neutered Ace's guitars, no doubt under the command of the loathesome reptile.
