Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shifting away from the fantasy-driven narratives of their earlier work, 'Ghost Opera' adopts a notably darker, more gothic-tinged aesthetic. With lush orchestrations masterminded by keyboardist Oliver Palotai and soaring vocals from Roy Khan, the arrangements maintain a delicate balance between heavy guitar theatrics and theatrical melancholy.
