Audio: Ghost Releases Majesty Single, Meliora Album Two Weeks Away
Ghost has released another single today from their highly anticipated new album Meliora (Spinefarm/Loma Vista), releasing on August 21st. Listen to ‘Majesty’ at this link or below:
A Nameless Ghoul has commented on the theme of ‘Majesty’:
“Lyrically, it’s on one hand a hymn about the dark lord of the underworld. On the other hand it paints a picture of a swarm of people, whom in a world of complete disaster, idolizes an authority that is clearly looking down upon the. How to love something that hates you back.”
Ghost has already announced “Black To the Future” tours of the USA and Europe to promote Meliora. More dates are forthcoming.
Crown of Thornz Releasing Nothing But Tragedy Two Song EP Via Bridge Nine
Bridge Nine Records will be releasing the new Crown of Thornz single Nothing But Tragedy with two new songs – “The Kiss of Death” (a somewhat more straightforward representation of the CoT sound that nonetheless moves their thudding, mid-tempo hardcore style forward) and “No Reason Why” (not to be confused with the Gorilla Biscuits classic; an epic, darkly affecting rock song, the likes of which CoT have never quite approached, with a booming, heady chorus to boot). This is their first new recordings since the 1998 split single with Aggressive Dogs.
