Ghost

Metallica is also nominated in two other categories: Rock Performance (Lux Aeterna) and for Rock Album. I'll bet they win one of those.

Granted, I doubt Ghost will win for metal, but who knows?

I didn't realize they were nominated for a couple more. I really pay no attention to the Grammys anymore
 
My band has put out a cover of the Ghost track, Dance Macabre, which can be streamed on the digital platform of your choice, should you fancy checking it out.

Just noticed on spotify there's an album called 13 Commandments, its a compilation of stuff, mostly the hits, but there's a track called Zenith on it that I never heard of, anyone know anything about this?

It was a B-Side from the deluxe box set edition of Meliora, and was only released as a vinyl single. It's only just been released on streaming.

Probably one of their best songs, why it was left off the album beggars belief.
 
I rolled my eyes at the announcement of the movie, having lost interest in Ghost of late. It turns out they're screening it at the cinema over the road from work, though, it would be rude not to...

It has been leaked in the same way as Hunter's Moon few years ago.


And tracklist for the movie is still hidden. You can see only Absolution - of course as it's a single and the rest is Track 1, Track 2 etc.
Probably the last track is the new song.
Question is if is it the last song of Papa Emeritus IV or the first of Papa Emeritus V.

btw looks like Tobias is still looking very much on Iron Maiden as after Powerslave we will have Somewhere in Time. :bigsmile:
 
To cut a long story short: this film is an incredibly beautifully filmed concert (or couple of concerts) with a back story.


Sister Imperator dies, Papa IV doesn', and becomes Father Imperator. There is a new song, and the film ends just before we get to see the new Papa
 
I saw the film yesterday and it was a reeeally fun experience. The concert footage looks and sounds amazing. I expected a little bit more of the story part but it was a nice addition anyway. The tension was building quite nicely throughout the scenes.
Papa IV seems to be a universally beloved character in the fanbase, so I’m glad they’ve come up with a clever and surprising solution to keep him around.

I was looking forward to see the new Papa and I can’t decide if not showing him was a good move or a missed opportunity. I guess they wanted to keep focus on Copia, because it’s his story and didn’t want the next guy to steal his thunder.
Rant: Those fucking cinema commercials… Either keep it brief or let people know at what time exactly the screening ends. I had to skip credits and barely made it to my last train home because of a nearly 30-minute commercial block…

I agree with all of this!

And yes, that was the worst block of cinema ads plus irrelevant trailers I've ever sat through. 30 mins is insane
 

[Verse]
Fifteen years from now
I know it feels remote
But picture it somehow
In your head

It's 1984
And knocking on your door
Is the Brownshirt Stasi guard
Boom, you're gone

And in the blood of the Kennedys
The good ones get shot
And in the absence of sympathy
Won't you hear me out?

[Chorus]
When it all burns down
When it all burns down
I will hold you close for the minute
Yeah, I'll hold you for the minute it takes

[Verse]
Fifty-five years from now
I know it sounds insane
The dark fascist regime might be gone

Oh, if you by then have forgiven me
Whеn push comes to shove
We don't havе to be enemies
Won't you hear me out?

[Chorus]
When it all burns down
When it all burns down
I will hold you close for the minute
For the minute

When it all burns down
And the flames devour everything that we are
I will hold you for the minute
I will hold you for the minute it takes

[Bridge]
With these words at hand
The future is a foreign land
So let us pray for more in 2024
(2024)
We could grow old together
(2024)
We could love one another
(2024)
And then we'll from then be peace forevermore
Peace forevermore

[Chorus]
But if it all burns down
If it all burns down
I will hold you close for the minute
For the minute

If it all burns down
And the flames devour everything that we are
I will hold you for the minute
I will hold you for the minute it takes
