Bonitis.
The song is good. I tend to get tired of these guys pretty quickly but may pick up the album just to see what artwork Zbigniew Bielak creates for it.

I guess it's just the mix of everything.
-Straightforward rock
-Catchy and addicting as hell
-Powerful atmosphere
-Cheesy satanic lyrics outside of black metal
-Church organs
That being said Ghost has become one of my favorite "modern" bands as they're just so refreshing. They're not trying anything new, but instead just taking a bunch of old ideas and splashing them around. I was actually really glad when I saw how popular they were starting to get.
de gustibus non est disputandum, eh?
I like plenty of straightforward hard rock and my tastes are all over the map. And I certainly don't think they suck. NOR AM I HATING ON ANYONE FOR LIKING IT. (I like Nightwish for fracks sake) My annoyance stems from the amount of hype and pub they get, the contrived nature of it, and the lemmingdom that follows. (I can't be the only one who's noticed this?) I mean there's certainly not a dearth of catchy straightforward hard rock out there to choose from...
It's catchy. Pretty good tune.
Thing that gets me is you see them, and you'd think they would come out blasting a full on assault. The music just seems too happy for the image.....messes with my head. I'm not the hugest fan, but they are a good band nonetheless.
That's what makes it so refreshing. Back in the 60's The Beatles were considered the devil's music. Just because what is "satanic" now is usually extremely aggressive and assaulting doesn't mean they can't play on the old idea.
