no one can live life in loneliness, only stars in the sky far away... [WELCOME everyone from everywhere, with intention or by accident - THIS BLOG IS BEST VIEWED IN WEB VERSION FORMAT as its how I envision it to be with the text and photos but still any layout format will work just fine.]
Correction and edit in RED I was informed all versions are 17 songs. So what I type earlier are all bullshit. Thank you to Mr H for the corrections.
I cannot wait for the physical album of the new GHOST live album CEREMONY AND DEVOTION. Very Depeche Mode Sounding title isnt it? And Ghost surely are DM fans.
So anyway, I got the Itunes version first of this.
I will review it properly once I got the physical cd.
As usual when it comes to Ghost, do not be gullible or rush for their new releases.
There will hopefully be different versions with extra songs especially for the Swedish pressings and if the Japanese have their own pressings.
Pembetulan, Mr H reply - rilisan physical ialah 17 lagu. Aku cek kat nuclearblast, ah ah la cuma beza ada digipak atau biasa tapi 17 lagu. Elizabeth tu ada dalam versi 17 lagu. So Itunes ni pasal aku dah tak sabar so aku sedekah je la duit Itunes tu kat Papa. Papa versi biasa apa pun aku dah tak tahu. Tapi lain la Ghost dalam album ni... mungkin Itunes lain sikit kot Nak cakap fanatik, tidaklah, tapi aku minat giler band ni lepas tengok dorang main live jadi band pembukaan bagi show Iron Maiden. Dari tak tahu lagu2 dorang, terus minat giler. Dan macam sapa baca blog ni, aku kalau nak beli rilisan Ghost, aku pelan2 cek dulu, pasal band puaka ni memang lain2 cetakan lain2 packaging dan isi dalam rilisan tu.
So kena hati2... Album ni kalau keluar bentuk fizikal akan ada dua cd sebanyak 15 lagu. Jepun nye pressing belum umum lagi. Tapi speku nye ada rilisan 17 lagu nye jugak... So..... jangan gelojoh untuk sapa2 peminat Ghost yang teruja nak beli ori live album ni.
Hi, as usual I will begins in English and ends my usual nonsensical "talk-cock" in Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language).
I am a sucker for Ghost, the Swedish pop/rock band who sings about unholy beings and stuffs. Or Ghost BC or how you want to call it.
I have no idea who they were until I saw them warm-up for Iron Maiden in Belgrade Serbia.
I was early then to check-out this hype band call Ghost, and it turn out to be a game-changer moment. Love their love show, and now I would like to say I am a fan who try to follow news about them.
Though, I have to say I HATE all the band members squabbles, court actions and problems.
I just hope whoever Papa Emeritus gets as the Nameless Ghouls musicians will be great as always.
So this is a another item I got regarding Ghost.
Its a very pretty looking pirate bootleg CD packaging of what is actually consist of the 3 songs from Ghost demo from 2009.
Legends say this demo was originally distributed as a cassette tape format of total Seven pieces only.
Three demo songs happily bouncy Roxette-style songs celebrating Lucifer and other unholy beings and things.
Prime Mover, Ritual , Death Kneel.
All songs will re-appear when they record their first album Opus Eponymous.
These are the pretty packaging photos. A nice cd to give yourself a treat occasionally.
Ohhh...
this is a video I took of them, for the whole song of Year Zero.
It was at Belgrade, and you can see Iron Maiden props, stage presentation and lightings all in place covered by black curtains...
Very nice very catchy Abba/Roxette Swedish Pop lives on with Ghost. "Belial, Behemoth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Satanas, Lucifer"
Welcome to Year Zero indeed...
So as the above photos, especially the first one...
- That Opus Eponymous is a Japanese version,
GET THAT Japanese version simply because of the extra song which is "Here Comes The Sun" from the Beatles. A very superb cover of a George Harrison Beatles classic.
And of course Japanese pressings has some cute inlets which makes it more worth it for a Ghost release.
- That Meliora Redux is a Swedish version release.
GET THAT version simply because of the extra song which is "Zenith". I have no idea why the best song from Meliora is not on the Meliora album. LOL!!!
I think this is still the only place to get Zenith on CD.
Ohh and Meliora Redux has the Popestar EP on it too...
- That Infestissumum album, I hope to get the Japanese version next because there is one more song of Ghost I want on cd format that I do not have yet, so its on the Japanese version of Infestissumum. Yes.. I am a sucker for Ghost.
The worst disapoinment was I am suppose to catch Ghost supporting their new album Meliora at Donington on the last day of 2016 Donington (Maiden headlining that evening), but then something happen, a virus or something and Ghost cancelled at the last moment.
Well, hope to see them again next time...
Next post I want to show you some great food I ate while backpacking across UK for The Book Of Souls Tour. (sample photos below LOL!!!)
Bye. Salam semua, dan aloha.. Apa khabar, semoga sihat2 selalu.. ok.. aku dah merapu omputeh kat atas ni, so macam aku cakap panjang lebar kat atas la, aku ni terpeleot sikit bila kena mengena ngan band nama Ghost tu. Suka sangat first time tengok dorang main, terus kumpul2 cd2 dorang. Cam puaka band ni, lain2 cetakan lain2 isi. So memang nak kena plan la kan kumpul cd2 dorang. Ni pun aku kalau ada peluang aku nak sambar Inffestissumum cetakan Jepun pasal aku tahu ada 3 lagu extra, dan satu lagu tu aku belum ada dalam bentuk cd. Sorry la eh, kadang2 aku cakap gini, korang jangan cakap aku ni macam sial ke, menunjuk ke berlagak ke nak itu nak ini..., riak ke.., pasal kalau korang rasa begitu, korang salah masuk blog la kan.. Sapa yang korang passion macam aku, tahu la apa aku nak cerita sebenarnya. Berkongsi maklumat, berkongsi pendapat, dan berkongsi sesuatu yang aku minat giler... ok aku stop sini pasal kalau tidak cuma ulangan apa aku cakap tadi kat atas... sapa tak pernah tengok foto2 packaging lain Ghost cetakan Jepun ke, versi Redux ke, sila klik link kat atas... Nanti sambung pasal Ghost ok? ..... Gezek pasal Makanan pulak... lepas tunjuk pasal semayang jemaat kat mesjid kat Liverpool tu hari, lepas ni aku nanti aku nak tunjuk foto2 makanan2 sepanjang aku backpack kat UK sorang2 tengok Iron Maiden merata... bulan mei lepas sebelum Ramadhan tu hari... ni gezek dulu.... Ni bawah ni masa aku kat Bristol... last tu kat Birmingham...
LETS GIVE METALLICA A REST FOR NEW ALBUM AND START OF THEIR NEW ALBUM TOUR IN ASIA JANUARY 2017. (I think this is the best album since ...ajfa so I pre-ordered the triple cds version, (and I am going to get the digital versions at midnite of release LOL!!).
finally the conclusion to my intended Ghost trilogy postings.
Lets take a look at Meliora their 3rd studio album.
lets specifically take a look at MELIORA REDUX and I show the full packaging for those who have not seen it especially the artworks. Seems this time not so controversial unlike the artworks for the second albums inlets where printing companies are not wanting to print the inner booklet and such.
As usual I will talk cock in English first, and then talk cock in Malay Language Bahasa Melayu later.
As usual I try to make the contents slightly different so its good to know both languages, albeit the street market uneducated vulgar incoherent versions. LOL!!
Meliora Redux content are two cds.
- the first cd is the Meliora album PLUS the song ZENITH. Meliora was released in 2015 originally.
As we all know Zenith is very difficult to find on any official CD pressing. So on Meliora Redux at last we can the song Zenith on an official CD for Ghost fans who wants an original physical copy.
- the second cd is the POPESTAR EP. Containing one newer Ghost song and 4 cover versions.
With this Redux release, I can safely say possibly MELIORA is the second best rock album of 2015 behind Maiden's Book Of Soul.
A short review.
-Meliora is a consistent album with great songs from start to finish. Pinnacle to the Pit, Mummy Dust are heavy like fuck, and MAJESTY is simply a MAJESTIC song with a MAJESTICAL intro.
-He Is, is like the slow rock song of the year. LOL!
And all the songs are great, no need to skip any song on listening.
and of course the first single from Meliora - Cirice is still an unknown meaning. Seems its an old word for a church? LOL!!
-While POPESTAR, Square Hammer is a very catchy song, addictive happy song with an addictive chorus and the 4 covers songs, with the known name of Eurythmics and Echo and Bunnymen, its the other two songs called I BELIEVE and BIBLE which are astounding.
One thing about Ghost, they play great cover versions of unknown songs from unknown bands that really are beautiful.
-Meliora seems has the change of singer from the elder PAPA EMERITUS II to the younger sibling PAPA EMERITUS III.
I dont bother really, for me its just the same singer but with a gimmick. If its a different singer is also not a problem for me. I love the music from the band. I have no issues with whatever they want to do or change as long as the music are fabulous.
-Unlike previous albums, MELIORA is not an album with straight-forward lyrics of GROUPIES praising and worshipping Satan, and everyone in the Devil family.
This time around, the lyrics are more discreet. But you know, HE IS there on all songs.
I wonder if HE IS, would be a popular Wedding Dedication, or a male Family member dedication song. LOL! "We're Standing here by the abyss, and the world is in flames, two star-crossed lovers reaching out, to the BEAST with many names"
Simply one of the better romantic songs these past few years. Unfortunately it being from Ghost.
DEF LEPPARD should sang it, and change the lyrics a bit.
LOL!!
Meliora is a heavy album.
Incredible catchy chorus for all songs on this album.
A straight forward heavy rock album with not as much variety as the previous two albums. I think this was their plan although they use a Pop Producer who had never produced a rock or metal album before.
With the inclusion of Zenith on this album for Redux, I think it makes this album even better as Zenith is simply a superb song though a bit out of place with the style of other songs.
I was supposed to catch GHOST play after the release of this album in Donington Download Festival 2016.
It was a chance for me to see them play this album song live.
It was supposed to be a SUPER SUNDAY last day of a supposedly heavily "METAL ELITIST" 2016 bands lineup happiness which piss-off other type of rock music fans, LOL!!,
with the 3RD STAGE OF consecutive GOJIRA, ELECTRIC WIZARD, GHOST and SAXON before all will shift to the Main Stage to watch IRON MAIDEN.
Unfortunately GHOST Cancelled. Seems a Virus going around the band.
I am not aware of it, I just seems odd the timetable for Stage 3 are going late and I realised something is going very wrong.
So I didnt wait around after Electric Wizard and Gojira played and I went to catch NIGHTWISH with their amazing new singer, and hang around for about an hour for the Main Stage to be prepared for the Headliners Maiden.
Anyway, I think Donington 2017 wont be called a "Metal Elitist" favouritism, though seems surprisingly SLAYER has been reserved and confirmed.
I thought SLAYER will never play Donington under the Download Festival name? LOL!!
A big problem with the Promoter or something.
But it will be fun, and though I am not going to Donington 2017, it would be nice to see where Slayer is slotted. I think Stage 3 under the circus tent as the last band at night would be amazing.
So thats about it, right at bottom I will link youtubes.. but right now is the packaging of MELIORA REDUX continued from top I had shown some of the photos already.
If you are thinking of getting Meliora or Popestar EP, buy it, but if you can get Zenith the song officially on a cd or vinyl, that would even be better.
BUY IT AND SUPPORT GHOST ORIGINALS RELEASES.
Support PAPA EMERITUS III and THE NAMELESS GHOULS.
Hi Semua, Pertama sekali, tak payah la korang semua nak tujukan lagu kasih sayang kat Suami, Boyfren, Bapak, Atok, Abang, Adik, Anak Lelaki, Jiran Lelaki, Boss Lelaki, Kawan Kerja Lelaki dengan lagu HE IS ye. OK OK tapi kalau boss macam setan, hahhhh Sesuai sangat la tu HE IS. HAHAHAHAHAHA Banyak lagi lagu kasih sayang untuk lelaki yang sesuai ye. HAHA Anyway HE IS ni lagu ni Ghost dapat siapkan lepas kematian salah satu kawan mereka kat band apa tu? aku lupa lak masa menaip ni, yang mengaku Satanist kemudian bunuh diri. Tapi entah eh, nama yang bunuh diri tu , dan nama adik pompuan dia macam nama2 kita je la orang2 MIM. Takpelah cerita pun dah jadi ye tak. Apa aku nak cakap eh? aku dah cakap atas. OK Memang kalau korang tengok 2015 nye penobatan (CEWAHHH!!! MELAYU AKU STUPENDOUS SIOT) senarai album2 rock terbaik, Meliora ni ada kala jatuh nombor dua, dibelakang album Iron Maiden Book Of Soul. Memang terbaik dari ladang album ni untuk telinga aku, cuma tu jam baru keluar heran takde Zenith. Tapi lepas tu Zenith timbul kat salah satu cetakan piring hitam. So nasib baik keluar Meliora Redux yang campur sekali dengan mini-album EP Popestar. Terus terang aku cakap beli la album2 Meliora dan Popestar ni. Terbaik dari ladang. Nanti aku link bawah semua youtube2 yang ada dan ada satu awek nyanyi lagu HE IS kalau sapa tak pernah tengok... Aku sepatutnya nak tengok GHOST kali kedua kat Donington 2016, teruja pasal konfem dorang akan main lagu2 dari album MELIORA ni la, pasal memang susah nak tengok GHOST cam aku cakap aku sekali je dapat tengok dorang tu pun dorang opening band untuk Iron Maiden kat Serbia 2014 masa aku backpacking. Tapi malangnya, kat Donington , kugiran GHOST kena serang virus, dan terpaksa tarik diri. Dan aku tak tahu cuma, bila aku dah la kelemasan penuh sesak beribu2 kat pentas ketiga pasal kat luar hujan tak berenti abis tu dah jadi bah lumpur teruk, ramai orang masuk pentas ketiga selamatkan diri pasal pentas ketiga ialah ada bumbung khemah gergasi, abis tu pulak hari Ahad, hari Iron Maiden headline jadi memang hari paling banyak tiket jual dan about 90 ribu la kot, walau pasal suasana huru hara berapa ribu tak dapat masuk tapak festival pasal huru hara.. tapi SHOW MUST GO ON, EXCEPT GHOST GOT THE VIRUS AND CANCEL. Aku heran, apasal Gojira dan Electric Wizard start main lambat dah tu main seret? Babi la, Ghost cancel... haha, terus fikir.... lepas Gojira dan Eletric Wizard tunggu Saxon set up aku terus pergi tengok Nightwish kat pentas utama, lepas tu tenggelam dalam lumpur sampai buku lali tunggu Iron Maiden setup main headlining act... WOO HOO!!! Korang tengok cammana la 2016 tak kena maki dengan peminat2 genre rock lain yang panggil 2016 Donington Metal Elitist nye lineup haha. TU la.... Takde nasib tengok Ghost lagi sekali, pasal ni kali aku dah ready, dah hafal lirik sikit2 kat korus, boleh singalong ye tak? hahaah. Ohh yeah, Donington 2017 dah umum beberapa band, dan headliners dan confirm untuk tiga2 malam kat pentas utama. Maknanya gossip aku kongsi tu hari silap, GNR dan Metallica dua2 tak main la kat Donington 2017. Nampaknya Download Festival nye organiser dah siap sedia untuk masa depan muzik rock. Dorang akan letak pelapis2 rock anak muda hari ni yang akan jadi rock band utama masa depan dengan letakkan band2 muda kat Donington 2017 kat taraf atas. kecuali Aerosmith dan SLAYER. Tahun 2016, peminat2 muzik rock yang kurang condong ke arah Metal sangat tak berpuas hati dengan organiser Download Festival, pasal memang Donington 2016 memang digelar METAL ELITIST nye senarai band. Banyak band rock yang main heavy dan laju seperti mana kita minat. Siap Megadeth lagi boleh announce si Dave Mustaine atas pentas cakap OK, organiser kasi Megadeth main tambahan satu lagu lagik, so Dave Mustaine panggil Nikki Sixx sama2 bawak lagu ANARCHY IN UK, mesti bengkak je kan peminat2 rock genre lain. haha... Donington 2017 , dah start umum beberapa band, alahai... SENDU betul band2 tu kebanyakkan pada aku. Tapi banyak band anak muda, dorang dah start ready untuk zaman depan nye Rock pasal banyak band rock dan metal yang kita minat semua samada dah nak berhenti main, atau dah bersara atau dah mati. Apapun, Yes, akhirnya SLAYER kembali ke Donington 2017 baru diumumkan. Teringin ok aku nak tengok SLAYER kat Donington. Mesti huru-hara nak nak kalau hujan lebat, hujan tak berenti dan semua keadaan dah banjir lumpur pekat. Sejak Download Festival takeover Donington ni memang masalah dengan beberapa band rock seperti SLAYER . CONTOH- Bukan sahaja band rock terulung seperti SLAYER je ada masalah, tapi sama dengan SCORPIONS dan TWISTED SISTER juga. Band2 ni mungkin ingat dorang boleh dapat bayaran tinggi, dan dapat slot permainan yang prestij. Tapi pada ketua Download Festival, dia tak anggap gitu, contoh Scorpions nak main Donington bawah jenama Download Festival tapi cuma diberi peluang headline Pentas Kedua sahaja, begitu jugak Twisted Sister nak slot utama, tapi mana boleh, kat Donington dorang macam band sendu, jadi bayaran kurang dan slot pun takde glamer mana. Macam pertama kali aku gi Donington, UFO main kul 11 pagi ok, 11 pagi giler ke hapa, aku pagi2 buta2 dah keluar dari Derby tempat aku tidur naik bas gi Donington. Tahun ni aku gi backpack lagi, SIAL BETUL, AMON AMARTH kena main kul tengahari. GILER KAN!!!!! Langsung takde pedulik siak organiser. Padahal kat festival2 muzik rock lain, band2 ni dapat slot utama dan bayaran tinggi. Korang tengok cam Bloodstock 2017, Amon Amarth headliner hari jumaat. Ni satu festival aku cakap sesuai kalau korang nak tengok band rock kegemaran korang main, dia kat kawasan Derbyshire, dan tak ramai orang, lagi kecik dari Hellfest pun. Tiap2 tahun dahsyat2 band2 yang main kat Bloodstock ni, ni satu festival aku betul2 teruja nak backpack pergi tengok... tapi aku belum research betul2 ada bas keluar masuk kat tapak festival ni ke mana2 pekan atau bandar pasal mati hidup balik, aku tak mau camping sorang2... Anyway, Jadi Slayer ni balik ke Donington lepas sekian lama mesti gempak. Tahun ni Megadeth was out of this world main lagu2 baru Dystopia album, jadi tak tahu apa kemungkinan tahun depan. Walau aku ada baca gossip ni kali terakhir SLAYER akan main festival di UK. maknanya, kalau kali terakhir mungkin ada sesuatu belakang curtain tentang hal perihal Slayer ni ye tak. So tu je la, aku dah terkeluar ring berbual kon pasal lain pulak. So sila beli... meh dengar... album MELIORA, lagu Zenith dan album EP POPESTAR. dan jugak awek ni perform lagu HE IS. haha. BYE..
Ni cover satu minah ni bawak lagu HE IS.
Kena pulak suara pompuan lagu ni.
Meliora full album
Lagu Zenith yang akhirnya sapa nak kumpul lagu ni dalam bentuk cetakan CD boleh jumpa kat album REDUX ni...
dan ni EP POPESTAR. Cek out cover version lagu I Believe dan Bible.
SO THERE, Everything about GHOST that I want to blog... or blogs. until the new album? LOL!! All previous album reviews, and whatever , and live review, and whatever... is all here
Aloha..
This time I will show all the inside packaging of the deluxe Infestissumam 24 pages booklet and also the packaging of If You Have Ghost EP for those who have not seen it.
I will write a bit in both English Language andMalay Language Bahasa Melayu to the best of my ability.
The Photos of the packaging will be right at the bottom at the end of this post. APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE IF IT OFFENDS ANYONE.
Lets start with Ghost BC Infestissumam.
The BC is more for the North American market copyright issues.
Ghost 2nd album.
In majority - A rather traditional pop album, reminds me of The Carpenters, ABBA, surfing Beach Boys and the Soundtrack to the movie PULP FICTION.
(But at the same this is the album with Year Zero on it. A simply blood-baying singalong chorus for a live Heavy Metal Crowd.)
As usual, a straight forward groupie support and one-sided praise for all things Satanic and anti-wholesome family values lyrically.
I always listen to this album as a complete, I don't pick specific tracks. I dont know why but with Ghost I always do it this way.
I press Play button, and put my headphones, and just let the albums flow, while I am walking, waiting at train stations and bus stations, and inside public transportation.
My fave songs on this album are -
- The Rousing Anthem of the Intro Infestissumam.
Less than 2 minutes, it should have a full song. Very very INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC.
- Jigolo Har Megiddo. A happy feet song. Mischievous.
- Ghuleh / Zombie Queen. - Starts slow with Ghuleh and then proceed to remind me of Surfing Rock of the 60s.
- YEAR ZERO - First song I ever see Ghost play live. They were Opening for Iron Maiden. I think most of the crowd also have not seen them play before. I like what I see and hear and I become a fan.
- Idolatrine - very catchy chorus
- Depth of Satan's Edge - A beautiful catchy song. The kind you move your shoulders to the beat.
- Monstrance Clock - Original this album ends on this song. A nice chorus about everyone coming together as one for Lucifer or something.
The deluxe edition has two more songs - a hard to find on official physical cd - La Mantra Mori, and also I'm a Marionette which appears also on Nirvana's Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl produced EP - If Youu Have Ghost.
Next
If You Have Ghost EP.
Produced By DAVE GROHL of Nirvana and Foo Fighter's fame.
Basically a covers songs EP with one live song version of Ghost own song Secular Haze.
Though all are beautifully done. Maybe in some cases ends up more nicer than the originals. (Speaking of Pulp Fiction Soundtrack above - surely Girl You'll Be A Woman Soon by Urge Overkill is something I like so much more than the Neil Diamond original).,
If You Have Ghost is a beautiful song. Crucified is also a simply another sweet song.
I'm a Marionette is an ABBA song.
Waiting For The Night is by one of the best bands in the world - DEPECHE MODE.
AND DEPECHE MODE IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW ALBUM SOON CALL SPIRIT.
And I am very happy.
IMAGINE!! IMAGINE!!!!!
Some festivals with Ghost headlining Friday, Maiden on Saturday, and Depeche Mode on Sunday.
That would be so out of this world combination.
Yes yes, many people find Ghost annoying. LOL!!!! OK, like I say, the photos of each page of the INDESTISSUMAM Deluxe Editon are right at the bottom of this posting. For those who have not seen it and are interested.
Hi Semua, Tu hari aku ada time, aku masuk Youtube, aku pergi carik semua info pasal Karen Carpenter. Pasal dia sakit yang paksa diri muntahkan diri tu, Pasal dia nak kurus. Orang semua cakap dia sakit teruk, dia jerangkung, kurus giler, tapi dia sorang cakap dia tak kurus, dia gemuk or something like that. So sambil tu dengar la lagu2 Carpenters. Korang tahu la kan betapa sedap lagu2 Carpenters zaman 70an dulu. Memang sedih perjalanan hidup Karen Carpenter, tapi lagu2 yang dia nyanyi dengan abang dia dalam kumpulan Carpenters memang lejen. Hidup selamanya. So, lepas tu aku terfikir, betapa dekat nya lagu2 Ghost ni dengan lagu2 Carpenters pun. Lepas tu kalau korang perasan, kat album ni memang ada lagu memang rentak Pop Yeh Yeh pun ada. Tapi ni album kedua ni memang ada kelainan sikit dari album pertama. Mungkin mereka masih mencarik arah dan tujuan dan cuba memperbagaikan aneka ragam muzik mereka. Lepas album ni terus dorang cakap dorang nanti akan heavy sikit untuk album ketiga iaitu Meliora. Meliora ni akan datang aku akan tunjuk versi Meliora Redux yang ada Popestar punye EP kat dalam. OK, aku takde masa lebih, AKU memang ada niat nak buat trilogi posting pasal kumpulan muzik Ghost ini. Tu hari aku dah intro dan buat ulasan sikit album pertama, ni kira posting kedua dan nanti mungkin aku panjang lebar balik untuk post seterus nya pasal Ghost. OK, cam aku cakap, intro album ni, Infestissumam ni sangat BERSEMANGAT , dan sepatutnya ni bukan intro tetapi lagu panjang kerana sedap sangat. Dalam album ni kalau lagu heavy metal contoh Year Zero memang terbaik la kan. Dan jugak lagu2 lain yang aku minat seperti aku sebut kat bahagian atas aku tulis omputeh. Ohhh jugak, EP If You Have Ghost, penuh dengan lagu2 sedap cover version tak lupa dari KUMPULAN ABBA dan KUMPULAN AKU MINAT YANG AKU DAH LUPAKAN TAPI DATANG BALIK JADI PEMINAT, KUMPULAN DEPECHE MODE, dan dorang akan keluar album baru ok, SPIRIT. Teruja menunggu... haha. ok tu je... Ambik dari youtube.. If You Have Ghost EP.. Ni pulak full album INFESTISSUMAM
OK, Sapa berminat, kalau tak minat tak payah tengok ok, sila scroll bawah untuk packaging bungkusan dan buku lirik Infestissumam.

Aloha EVERYONE. Firstly this posting is in Broken English, then in Market Street style Malay Language.As usual I try to make the English and Malay languages contents different. With the packaging photos scattered till the end.
Lets start with something lovely and wholesome. (LOL!!!)
Ghost, a wonderful POP band that would makes ABBA proud of continuing beautiful music from Sweden.
Sweden has always come out with some great bands like Roxette, Abba, and the most that I will never get enough of - Lost Horizon. A very good band playing metal that I was fortunate to hear to all my life. I wish they will reform one day. With the same singer of course.
This is Ghost first album "Opus Eponymous" Japan Edition,
which contains that sweet sweet track from the Beatles called "Here Comes The Sun".
On other versions I guess this cd ends at Genesis song number 9. But the Japanese one has this extra track.
A song by George Harrison (yes.. for those who never knows who and what are the Beatles LOL!!, he is the guitar solo guy on Belinda Carlisle's Leave A Light On the unedited album version) and he wrote this song call "Here Comes The Sun" that rivals anything Paul McCartney/John Lennon writes for the Beatles.
Little Darling.. Its been a long cold lonely winter..." Little Darling... It feels like years since its been here"
A very very pretty cover version of a Beatles song. So unfortunate its hard to own a physical copy of this song on a Ghost official release, but here it is found on the Japanese pressing of the CD.
I hunt it high and low and I finally got hold of this pressing.
OK lets start..
This is a very good band.
But for whatever reasons,
The lyrics are blatantly in favour of Satan, especially their earlier songs are straight forward Satan-Crazy Groupies songs. LOL!! I saw Ghost Opening for Iron Maiden in Belgrade, Serbia a few years back, and its not easy task opening for a restless audience who just wants Iron Maiden to play.
And Ghost I believe won most people over. Definitely I become a fan after watching them play and start to explore more of their music.
Yes, There are a music fans who find Ghost annoying but its ok, everyone has a different taste. But I hope to see Ghost opening for Maiden again. A lot of fun definitely.
My favourite songs on this album are - Con Clavi Con DIO, Ritual (what a pretty chorus), Elizabeth, Satan Prayer, Prime Mover, GENESIS (I WISH IRON MAIDEN HAD DONE THIS INSTRUMENTAL INSTEAD lol!!) and of course the Beatles cover. OK, that makes it nearly the whole album? LOL!!
I dont know what to expect of Ghost then when I first saw them play,, so I recorded the video of their entrance and first song.
YEAR ZERO.
What a lyrics!!! LOL!!!
Since dawn of time the fate of man is that of lice Equal as parasites and moving without eyes A day of reckoning when penance is to burn Count down together now and say the words that you will learn
Hell Satan — archangelo Hell Satan — welcome year zero Hell Satan — archangelo Hell Satan — welcome year zero
Crestfallen kings and queens comforting in their faith Unbeknownst to them is the presence of the wraith Since fate of man is equal to the fate of lice As new dawn rises you shalt recognize now behold the Lord Of Flies
Hell Satan — archangelo Hell Satan — welcome year zero Hell Satan — archangelo Hell Satan — welcome year zero Hell Satan
[Guitar solo]
He will tremble the nations. Kingdoms to fall one by one Victim to fall for temptations A daughter to fall for a son The ancient serpent deceiver To masses standing in awe He will ascend to the heavens Above the stars of god.
Hell Satan — archangelo Hell Satan — welcome year zero Hell Satan — archangelo Hell Satan — welcome year zero.
I try to complete a GHOST TRILOGY POSTING OF ALL THREE STUDIO ALBUMS (inclusive of the EPs) in the next few post...

. Hai Semua, Apa Khabar? Sudahkan anda memberi sedikit prihatian kepada Kucing-Kucing Longkang di sekitar kawasan rumah atau di tempat kerja anda? Cehhh Kumpulan Ghost ni aku pun tak tahu macam mana nak mula kat blog ni. Kalau Puji kumpulan ni nanti orang cakap aku sembah Setan pulak, tu hari aku tunjuk kad hari Krismas yang kumpulan Iron Maiden hantar kat semua ahli fan club dah ada sorang bro ni cakap aku ni Kristian ke hapa. HAHA.
- OK, Kumpulan Ghost dari Sweden. Dorang main jenis lagu pop, lagu rock 70an, lagu style Black Sabbath, dan of course memang ada lagu terserlah heavy metal mereka. - Kumpulan ni takde nama, cuma Penyanyi ada gelaran, dan pemuzik mereka nameless, tapi ada gelaran jugak la. - (Walau dah ada kantoi yang tunjuk kumpulan ni dengan muka masing2, tapi pada aku biarkan je la dorang takde nama dan takde sapa tahu mereka sapa, untuk aku ni semua hiburan je jadi biarkan je la, tak payah nak serious, atau nak sungguh2 carik sapa mereka sebenarnya). - Liriks kebanyakkan Inggeris, ada campur aduk LATIN, dan jugak alih-alih bahasa dari zaman purba dan sastera Eropah. - Suara vokalis sangat lembut dan merdu. Ini antara punca Ghost tidak diminati ialah cara penyampaian penyanyi mereka mungkin tak serock yang diharapkan. - Jangan kesah pasal setiap album Ghost tukar penyanyi dari Pendita Paderi I ke II ke III atau apa je la, pasal sama je, cuma gimik je tu. - Harus diingat jangan terpedaya dengan lagu2 mereka... contoh macam lagu "HE IS", tu lagu sampai menang anugerah2 di merata tempat, tapi paham2 je la kan, HE IS tu ditujukan pada sapa... HAHA. - Tapi tu la, ni untuk aku hiburan je la... tak mau fikir banyak2 nanti sakit kepala. Jadi lagu2 dalam album pertama, lagu pertama macam church organ gitu kita dengar waktu tengok filem2 Hollywood suasana Gereja gitu.. lagu kedua, lirik dah bermula dengan "Lucifer We Are Here For Your Praise Evil One" Jadi paham2 je la. Kalau ni zaman dulu Ghost ni ada, KALAU ZAMAN DULU ZAMAN KASET DULU, zaman korang budak2 reamaja2 dulu, dengan kaset Ghost terselit dengan kaset Search dan Kaset Rusty Blade korang, mesti ada korang punye kaset Ghost kena BAKAR!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAA. Aku paling lawak ni band kan, dorang punye second album sampai takde syarikat cetakan kat Amerika nak cetak sampul liriks dalam bungkusan cd mereka pasal mereka punye drawing entah hapa hapa.. Kontroversi la kan, nanti aku tunjuk lain kali.. Kalau album pertama, mesti nak ada gambo kambing hitam terselit satu kat dalam. Entahapa-hapa Ghost ni. Kelakar. tapi kalau perasan kan, lagu ni jugak rentak ada macam lagu Italian yang dinyanyikan happy happy gitu macam hari Perkahwinan. HAHA. Giler ok ni band. Aku sangat2 paling suka lagu Ritual, lagu Elizabeth yang kalau band rock ni suka la cerita pasal Elizabeth Bathrory ni semua kan, lagu Genesis sebuah instrumental, dan of course kalau cetakan Jepun ni ada lagu dari kumpulan BEATLES. Macam aku cerita kat atas. Apa pun semua lagu pun gerek, cuma kalau satu lagu aku kurang minat ialah Death Kneel. Apa pun ni zaman Ghost permulaan. Ketara ialah cara liriks dorang mula2 memang terus terang sangat la. Zaman ni, dah berselindung. Untuk aku, kalau satu hari nanti bila DEPECHE MODE dah berhenti berkarya, aku tahu sapa peganti bila aku rindu DEPECHE MODE, aku tahu itu ialah kumpulan GHOST. Aku harap satu hari aku berpeluang tengok dorang beraksi lagi sekali. Aku nak tengok dorang main show sendiri dan bukan sebagai warm up, seperti apa aku letak satu youtube kat atas aku rakam masa dorang menjadi band pembukaan Iron Maiden di negara Serbia depan peminat2 SERB. nah full album nak dengar tapi takde lagu Beatles tu kot.
OK THE REST OF THE PACKAGING...
TO BE CONTINUED ON ALL THINGS GHOST>
I try to complete all in a few of the next postings...
. . . Salam Untuk Semua and Salutations To Everyone. . . . This time I will reverse things a bit, a little intro in my broken English, and then a long rambling in my market Malay language.
Firstly - a Happy New Year to all Muslims W.O.R.L.D.W.I.D.E. UNHOLY DEVIL ME. I have to google to check what calendar year it is for the New Muslim Islamic Year. It is Year 1438 Hijrah. I wish to become a better human being (which by default means I wish to become a better Muslim, -please dont laugh, I am serious, serious like in the words of Bucky Katt like a cat taking a bath-).
May the True Values prevails in this world.
And those who flew the flag of unfair hatred, those who mislead the idiots in the name of religion and yes...the idiots include some highly educated fellows and those who harvest unfair violence die. So together... - Death to the False Ones!! . . . OK.. I think my horns are growing again. LOL!! Look what I got from Sweden.... The land of Roxette. Ghost Meliora Redux... It has Zenith!! And of course the new Popestar EP.
I will review and show this amazing Redux Packaging soon. Yes!!!! yes!!! I know this is a very contradiction blog post of heaven and hell. Well...... LOL!! Hai Semua... Aku pernah cakap dulu kan? Setahun sekali gitu, aku akan bual pasal bersangkutan agama. OK harap aku tak disambar petir. Seriously... OK ni foto TBS hari Jumaat malam, pukul 10 malam ok...
Aku nak masuk Singapore, kerja kul 7 pagi hari Sabtu.. Nasib baik tiket aku dah beli awal... Penuh manjang... kalau tak kena gi Larkin je la, lepas tu kul 3 pagi mendangok kat Larkin, tunggu bas kul 4 dari Larkin gi Pasir Gudang pasal bas tu lalu immigresen, Nak tunggu bas2 awam masuk Singapore, yang mula dari Larkin selalu nak kat kul 5, aku konfem tak sempat, tapi kalau korang dari immigresen, bas awam masuk Singapore kul 4 gitu dah nak start dah kot bas kuning nye company. tapi stress ok berpuluh ribu orang nanti kat immigresen kalau dah lepas kul 4 pagi. Awal Muharram Maal Hijrah Singapore tak public holiday, Malaysia Long Weekend.. So memang ramai jugak la TBS pasal people semua nak take opportunity balik kampong or gi jalan2 gitu.. SO macam biasa, korang yang seperti aku... jenis CLUTCHING AT STRAWS. Jenis yang bodoh tuli buta agama. Doa makan pun tak tahu... Dengar benda2 berkenaan agama rasa kulit panas gitu kena siat2... Hah... tentu ada... So bila kita jenis clutching at straws... Kalau Awal Muharam apa kita buat...?
KITA AKAN TERINGAT RTM 1. Syukur la, orang macam aku yang baik kat Malaysia atau Singapore, harapkan tv cenel percuma. Takde Cable TV la, takde Astro, Takde Mio TV, Takde CableVision... (Nak tengok Arsenal main, kena pakai tenet carik tayangan percuma atau gi kedai tengok...) RTM 1 kat Singapore pun super clear pakai antenna bumbung flet. So nak Magrib waktu Wilayah Persekutuan, so bukak RTM1... aku pastikan aku mendangok depan tv. Wassap reminder to love ones aku pasal RTM nak start doa. hahaha. So mendangok depan tv, Mulut Terngangah.. Dengar ustaz2 cakap pasal Agama... Ngiong Ngiong Ngiong.. ok kulit tak panas.. haha. Lepas tu ber iya iya tadah tangan doa sama2 Imam Masjid TV (korang tahu kan? lagi satu nama untuk Masjid Negara kat KL ialah Masjid TV pasal masjid ni selalu masuk TV hahaha), so baca doa akhir tahun, dan awal tahun. Wahhh Syahdu ok. Korang jangan lahar ok... its a true fact cuba tanya sapa2 tongong dan tonggang terbalik pasal agama... confirm akan bersungguh2 kalau peluang macam gini... pasal memang kita bodoh so kita hargai ada orang lead kita. Itu la, kalau orang buta tuli agama.... Tak boleh nak memilih, tak boleh nak ikut apa2 geng... Kita ikut sapa2 majoriti dan la harap orang yang berkongsi dan lead sesuatu aktiviti tu bertauliah dan berkelayakan betul tak? So tu la, setiap tahun, aku Sayang kat RTM1 satu just becaus of Magrib sambut Maal Hijrah. Pasal... yes... aku dapat rasa kemanisan agama Islam.. Dengan cara aku sendiri ye.. Tentu mereka yang jenis "clutching at straws" dalam hal agama, paham apa aku cakap. Kalau takde RTM aku kena baca sendiri ye tak? or else gi mesjid haha. tunggang terbalik ok baca sendiri... hahaha. Siot kan aku? OMG gitu.
OK... Selamat Tahun Baru korang baik dimana pun korang.. World Wide Live gitu..., (cehhh..hint hint). semoga jadi manusia yang lebih baik. Walaupun setiap tahun hanya sebesar kuman je kebaikan kita dari tahun lepas. Well... You Never Know Allah recognise our valour ye tak? cehhhhhh..... Aku berbual macam betul je - yo yo oh gitu... (valour-great courage in face of danger siot)..haha. Siaran Rock N Roll akan kembali next post.
