I really dig Ghost. For some time, I would see their album cover, or logo or whatever and think it must be some real death metal stuff that I'd never like. Then I saw them play Cirice and was thrown for a loop. From there, I got all the albums and saw them recently in Cleveland. I've done some reading about them, and I think its pretty clear the whole "satanist" angle is only for theatrical value, and I think they've even said this in no uncertain terms. The whole "mystery" of who they are is kinda fun...like the dramatics at their shows, its rock music... its fun, humorous, and everyone has a good time. If that's not what its all about, I don't know what is.
