Following somewhat in the footsteps of 2016âs âPopestarâ EP, Ghost are back with another collection of unexpected cover songs on new EP, âPhantomineâ.
âPopestarâ arrived at a crucial time in the bands career and so does âPhantomineâ, with the band on the cusp of the upper echelons of the industry. What this EP lacks over âPopestarâ 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, theyâve displayed a knack to Ghostify the tracks covered. That again is evidenced here no better than on Genesis cover âJesus He Knows Meâ. Other tracks though such as Iron Maiden classic âPhantom of the Operaâ, 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. âPhantomimeâ may not have the impact of âPopestarâ 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 doesnât want to hear Ghost take on Tina Turner!
