REVIEWS: Ghost in Prague. Cool static theater with lousy sound
Ghost Tobias Forge, hidden behind an identity called Papa Emeritus IV, has been caught. The seductive aura of the mysterious association of masked entities called the nameless ghalls does not stand on the individual, or it can be changed at any time as needed.
Equally variable is the music component of the project, which oscillates between heavy metal, pomp rock, hard rock, but the main emphasis is placed on the city with a pop melody of the city reminiscent of Forge’s native ABBA. He saw the visual presentation after a bunch of devoted fans gathered around the band, who had no doubts about what the crack concert had confirmed.
even in the presentation, he revealed the known limits of that. From the first moment the curtain fell and revealed an impressive and elaborate scene, it was clear that the visual page was on top of the music. Pedn Tobias Forge is not a charismatic frontman or any vocal vocalist. Each gesture seems to have been learned or learned from elsewhere. The ghost is very good for King Diamond, Alice Cooper and other classic shock rock, but he doesn’t do anything new, only for many props. The show isn’t here to bring the music to life. On the contrary, there is often a lack of compositional invention and is the only argument for seeing Ghost iv.

The concert was quite static with bombastic culture, and Forge had to go to the skis as soon as possible, and as the strange guitar exhibitions stretched and the pantomime inputs of the accompanying ensemble stretched out. In addition, the city was filled with an unpleasant, awakening sound. In the ugly noise sphere, the first
Ghost don’t offer anything original even on the music page, you will come across familiar riffs and melodies in the songs. Remember the AOR bands like Boston or Journey, you will stumble for a while as from Queensrÿche and dal and dal.
Nothing against it. It can be accepted as a non-binding theater with fire, smoke, strobes and confetti. As mentioned, Ghost is a time-out business model that also varies according to current demand. Today it is the main melodic rock. I wouldn’t be surprised if Forge offered you a synthwave on the next album, which is also on the course between rock and metal bands. And the enthusiastic fans, of course, blame him for the talent. At least until then, this Duchask is still getting tired and a new glitter and much more trendy goods will come out.
