Are you a fan of Ghost?

Ghost released their fourth album, 'Prequelle' on this day in 2018.⁠
⁠
The record, which would go on to earn them a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, presented Ghost at their most dramatic as they led listeners on a journey through rousing anthems ("Rats"), grooving, poppy earworms ("Dance Macabre"), massive ballads ("Pro Memoria") catchy instrumentals ("Helvetesfönster," "Miasma") and more.⁠
⁠
'Prequelle' also marked a major turning point for the band: both in terms of its characters' mythology (namely, the emergence of new, non-Papa leader Cardinal Copia) and the men behind the masks. After years of anonymity, Ghost's longtime mastermind was revealed to be Tobias Forge of Swedish death-metal crew Repugnant. Forge's new willingness to conduct out-of-character interviews provided some intriguing, previously secret insights into the vision and inner workings of Ghost.⁠

Black and Blue…

On this day in 1988, Van Halen released ‘OU812’.

The album was dedicated to Eddie and Alex Van Halen’s father, Jan Van Halen, who passed away on December 9, 1986, at the age of 66. The inner sleeve included the message: “This one’s for you, Pa.”

Jan, an accomplished musician himself, had previously appeared on Van Halen’s 1982 album Diver Down, playing clarinet on “Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now).”
