Following somewhat in the footsteps of 2016ās āPopestarā EP, Ghost are back with another collection of unexpected cover songs on new EP, āPhantomineā.
āPopestarā arrived at a crucial time in the bands career and so does āPhantomineā, with the band on the cusp of the upper echelons of the industry. What this EP lacks over āPopestarā is a big original single to lead the EP, with this collection featuring just the five cover tracks.
In their career when Ghost have ventured into covers, theyāve displayed a knack to Ghostify the tracks covered. That again is evidenced here no better than on Genesis cover āJesus He Knows Meā. Other tracks though such as Iron Maiden classic āPhantom of the Operaā, they stay closer to the original than perhaps wished.
Overall though the five tracks work well and this is another example of the magic that this band possesses. āPhantomimeā may not have the impact of āPopestarā in the grand scheme of things, but it will be important in Ghost folklore, so is a must own for dedicated fans, plus, hey, who doesnāt want to hear Ghost take on Tina Turner!
