Originally unveiled in 2022, Impera marked the fifth full-length from Swedish theatrical goth rockers Ghost; continuing their absurd mission to amplify the most camp and ludicrous facets of the metal aesthetic, be it sonic, contextual or cosmetic. Following on from 2018's acclaimed Prequelle, the material strays further than ever from the band's proto-doom psychedelic metal roots, and rather embraces the often-negative 1970's comparisons to acts such as ABBA, Boston, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard. Composed with an entirely new legion of Nameless Ghouls (the blanket term for frontman Tobias Forge's backing musicians), the resulting goth opera may initially come off as Alice Cooper on psychedelics, but the anthemic staying power of cuts such as 'Call Me Little Sunshine' or 'Watcher In The Sky', steep the project in an aura of retrograde greatness, like a classic pop rock/AOR gem too satanic for the normies yet too normie for the satanists?
