Ghost: Opvs Eponymovs (Rosewood Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Debut studio album from Sweden's premiere purveyors of Catholic-roleplay death metal, Ghost! "Ghost started when I played a riff to everybody else. I said that this is probably the most heavy metal riff that has ever existed," explains frontman Tobias Forge on how the impetus for Ghost came when he and a handful of the other band members (*nameless ghouls) were at a practice session for their previous band. "And when I fit the words in, it seemed to cry out for a Satanically-oriented lyric." This pressing of Opvs Eponymovs (Latin for 'self-titled work') comes on rosewood colored vinyl.
