It’s not a secret that Ghost knows how to win a crowd over. Cardinal Copia and the Nameless Ghouls have proven why their once cult following is now an international phenomenon. Every festival goer who had never seen Ghost before was turned into a fan after being swept away by this performance in Ohio.
We danced along to “Dance Macabre” and were told our “taints will be tickled” by Cardinal Copia (yes, he really said that). Ever since Prequelle was released last year, it can’t be stressed enough that Ghost is now a mainstay in the rock and metal world.
It’s greedy to ask a band return to a festival’s following year, but it feels like any big rock and metal festival without a sermon would be missing out. Sonic Temple needs clergy and these demons should always be welcome.
Regardless if it’s a Papa or Cardinal and who is under a Ghoul mask, this band has proven to be a show worth checking out. Ghost will be going on “The Ultimate Tour Named Death” later this year through North America. You can find tour dates on their Facebook page here: Ghost on Facebook
