“The Ghost at the Scandinavium arena – so good was the show”
“CONCERT Ghost are bidding on an elegant and beautiful show – usually out of the ordinary.”
“Unfortunately, the reach the its full potential until the second act.”
“+++nGhostnPlats: Scandinavium, Gothenburg, sweden. Audience: 7006. Length: two hours and 40 minutes. Best: ”Con clavi con dio,” ”From the pinnacle to the pit” and Papa Nihils saxonfonsolo in the ”Miasma”. Worst: in Spite of a 15 minutes long break between acts, feels the show too long for its own good. Question: Any more than I think it gets a little ridiculous when Cardinal Copia speak English?”
“nGÖTEBORG. I remember the first time I saw Ghost live.”
“At a small club in Silver Spring, Maryland were surprised – and förvirrades – I of the contrast between the group’s sinister costumes, and the velvety coat that flowed out of the speakers.”
“the year was 2012. The group was often to bandage, band members identities were still raised in obscurity — and all the hype is huge.”
“Just a few years later, here we are. “
“With the Ghost which is given headline-act at the Scandinavium arena in Gothenburg, sweden.”
“somehow it feels like the success story Ghost-written in the stars. The absolute rule bandleader Tobias Forge, the man behind the Cardinal Copia, has always had big ambitions for the group. In particular, as liveakt.”
“Tonight’s performance is a theatrical rock show in two acts. (To call the spectacle for ”just” a concert, or gig would Forge probably consider that sacrilege.)”
“And scenproduktionen is, of course, of the richest kind.”
“Three major kyrkofönster with paintings of the band’s earlier frontmän frames in Cardinal Copia and his seven unnamed ghouls – just imagine a larger scale of Iron Maiden’s kyrkointeriör on the Legacy of the beast tour. “
“And to the delicious lighting, the smoke machines and pyrotechnics. “
“An unexpectedly retiring cardinal”
“And an exuberant, facetious and, at times, filthy Cardinal Copia.”
“In an acoustic version of ”Infestissumam”-beauty ”Jigolo has megiddo,” related he relaxed over the stage. He juckar to the tune of ”Mummy dust”. And several mellansnack is of adult nature, with the talk about, among other things mellangårdar. That should be a lill-Saturday in the Ingot, simply.”
“the Cardinal is certainly not near as eye-catching and visually sumptuous as its predecessor Papa Emeritus III – but all the more flexible, danceable and present.”
“in Contrast, feels he was unexpectedly tired and weak between the yards. The sometimes nasal singing is not always to the arena, and his presence on the stage is fading, sometimes in the company of his energetic, enthusiastic and technically flawless of the ghouls.”
“the Activity on the läktarplatsen is in addition attention-grabbing low-key.”
“thank god, is a revival in the second act, after a 15 minutes of much needed break for snacks. All involved seem to get into a second wind during the ceremony, the ”Spirit”, thrashiga ”From the pinnacle to the pit” and the royal ”Majesty”.”
“Forge has in several intervjusammanhang stressed the importance of dramaturgy during the concerts.”
“In the Ghosts of the cases, the major concern of the songs order is essential. Otherwise, the combination of the group’s AOR, thrash, heavy metal, disco, pop, kind of thrash and turgid Malmsteen-metal to become a single tangled mess.”
“Last year’s ”Prequelle”, which is less flamboyant and catholic-sounding than their youngest of six kids, also melts in relatively seamlessly with the material from the group’s previous three albums.”
“But so are all planned and designed in meticulous detail. Both good and evil.”
“the Whole is beautiful, elegant and good sounding, but lacks the spontaneity that can sometimes occur in the unpredictable meeting between a liveakt and its audience.”
“But it is, on the other hand, just like this one to see Ghost: the visionary Forges premises.”
“In the borderland between musical theatre and concert, art and music, dirty and romantic, soft and hard.nnnFotnot: Ghost performs at the ericsson Globe arena in Stockholm on Saturday, 23 February.”

“So good was the concert — score let for let”
“23. Dance macabrenJag had hoped for with lots of dance in this number – just like in the music video. But no, said the cardinal.”
“24. Square hammernMitt patience runs out and I yearn for the night’s rendezvous with the sandman.nnExtranummer:”
“24. Monstrance clockn”Come together, together as one”, messes Cardinal Copia faced with an almost euphoric audience. Good end to the evening. Unfortunately, many in the audience had time to leave the premises at this point.”
