Yesterday, Greg posted an excellent track-by-track review of Ghost's upcoming album, Meliora, and in it, he described the track "Majesty" thusly:
If Deep Purple or Spiritual Beggars heard "Majesty," they'd turn red and leave the room in fear of being mocked for not having come up with this earlier. "Majesty" kicks off with big, fat rock riff that's quickly doubled by a Hammond B3-sounding organ. The song relies on a "chug, chugga chug, chugga chug" type rhythm you'd hear played faster in bands like Iron Maiden, though in this context the sluggish stride of the cadence works like magic.
Well now you can hear the studio version for yourself. The band have been performing the track live, but they just released the official version and it's so pretty:
Meliora drops August 21st. Pre-order here.
