Ghost (2012)
The Swedish metallers raised eyebrows with their Lucifer-loving lyrics, Blue Öyster Cult choruses and their frontman's infernal pope get-up, but on their second LP they embrace something even more unholy: prog. The songs are knotty and complicated; the multivalenced "Jigolo Har Megiddo" feels like it's set not in hell but in Kansas. The results are intricately plotted, if not as instantly bewitching.

Over the last few years, the mysterious, much-hyped Swedish band formerly known as Ghost have cultivated an alluring persona of subversion and symbolism. Infestissumam, their first album for a major label, follows their 2010 debut Opus Eponymous, a collection of old-school "Satanic" heavy metal with hooks as addictive as sin.

Sweden's Ghost returns with a new full-length that's loaded with glitzy production, more details, and longer tracks. It's the tunes that end up getting lost in translation much of the time.
